Scotch bonnet (Capsicum chinense) is a tropical hot pepper variety that is grown in South America, the Caribbean Islands, and in Florida, and is an important cash crop. In Florida, scotch bonnet is grown on ~100 acres annually. Virus-like leaf symptoms including mosaic and yellow mottling were observed on scotch bonnet plants in a field at Quincy, FL, with a disease incidence of ~5%. Two symptomatic and one non-symptomatic plant sample were collected from this field for identification of the causal agent associated with the symptoms. Viral inclusion assays (2) of the epidermal tissues of the symptomatic scotch bonnet samples using Azure A stain indicated the presence of spherical aggregates of crystalline inclusion bodies. Testing of the symptomatic samples using lateral flow immunoassays (Immunostrips, Agdia, Elkhart, IN) specific to Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Potato virus Y (PVY), Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), and Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), showed a positive reaction only to CMV. The sap from an infected leaf sample ground in 0.01 M Sorensons phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) was used to mechanically inoculate one healthy scotch bonnet plant (tested negative for CMV with Immunostrip) at the 2- to 3-leaf stage. The inoculated plant developed mild mosaic and mottling symptoms 12 to 14 days post inoculation. The presence of CMV in the mechanically inoculated plant was further verified using CMV Immunostrips. Total RNA was extracted (RNeasy Plant Mini Kit, Qiagen, Valencia, CA) from the previously collected two symptomatic and one non-symptomatic scotch bonnet samples. The samples were subjected to reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR assays using SuperScript III One-Step RT-PCR System (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), and using multiplex RT-PCR primer sets (1). The primers were designed to differentiate the CMV subgroup I and II, targeting the partial coat protein gene and the 3′UTR. The RT-PCR assays using the multiplex primers produced an amplicon of 590 bp, with the CMV subgroup I primers. The RT-PCR product was only amplified from the symptomatic leaf samples. The obtained amplicons were gel eluted, and directly sequenced bi-directionally (GenBank Accession Nos. KF805389 and KF805390). BLAST analysis of these sequences showed 97 to 98% nucleotide identities with the CMV isolates in the NCBI database. The isolates collected in Florida exhibited highest identity (98%) with the CMV isolate from tomato (DQ302718). These results revealed the association of CMV subgroup I with symptomatic scotch bonnet leaf samples. Although CMV has been reported from scotch bonnet, this is the first report of its occurrence in Florida. References: (1) S. Chen et al. Acta Biochim Biophys Sin. 43:465, 2011. (2) R. G.

AbstractCucumber mosaic virus (CMV, cucumovirus) is the most important virus infecting cucurbit crops in Egypt and worldwide causing significant loss in yield quality and quantity. The main target of the present work was to establish a simple controlling system for an Egyptian isolate of such virus (belonging to the subgroup I) via production of tobacco transgenic plants expressing viral coat protein (CP). Coat protein gene (cp) was isolated and amplified using immunocapture-reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) and primers with add-on restriction sites for SmaI and SacI enzymes. The genes were cloned in pBI121 vector plasmid between the CaMV 35S promoter and the nos terminator after removing the Gus gene by restriction enzymes digestion. The new construct was used for Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation, which was then used for tobacco transformation. Evaluation of transformation success and CP expression degree were confirmed using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and dot blot immuno-binding assay (DBIA). PCR and RT-PCR were used to study the integration of cp within genetic plant system and to what extent this gene was transcript. It was concluded that in spite of integration success some transformed plants can transcript the gene more than the others do. Plants resistance was tested by challenging with CMV under study and remarkable success was obtained in plants with higher gene transcription and translation degree.

First Report

Penstemons are perennials that are grown for their attractive flowers in the United States. Penstemon species (P. acuminatus, P. deustus, and P. speciosus) are among the native forbs considered as a high priority for restoration of great basin rangelands. During the summer of 2008, symptoms of red spots and rings were observed on leaves of P. acuminatus (family Scrophulariaceae) in an experimental trial in Malheur County, Oregon where the seeds from several native forbs were multiplied for restoration of range plants in intermountain areas. These plants were cultivated as part of the Great Basin Native Plant Selection and Increase Project. Several native wildflower species are grown for seed production in these experimental plots. Plants showed red foliar ringspots and streaks late in the season. Fungal or bacterial infection was ruled out. Two tospoviruses, Impatiens necrotic spot virus and Tomato spotted wilt virus, and one nepovirus, Tomato ring spot virus, are known to infect penstemon (2,3). Recently, a strain of Turnip vein-clearing virus, referred to as Penstemon ringspot virus, was reported in penstemon from Minnesota (1). Symptomatic leaves from the penstemon plants were negative for these viruses when tested by ELISA or reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. However, samples were found to be positive for Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) when tested by a commercially available kit (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). To verify CMV infection, total nucleic acid extracts from the symptomatic areas of the leaves were prepared and used in RT-PCR. Primers specific to the RNA-3 of CMV were designed on the basis of CMV sequences available in GenBank. The primer pair consisted of CMV V166: 5′ CCA ACC TTT GTA GGG AGT GA 3′ and CMV C563: 5′ TAC ACG AGG ACG GCG TAC TT 3′. An amplicon of the expected size (400 bp) was obtained and cloned and sequenced. BLAST search of the GenBank for related sequences showed that the sequence obtained from penstemon was highly identical to several CMV sequences, with the highest identity (98%) with that of a sequence from Taiwan (GenBank No. D49496). CMV from infected penstemon was successfully transmitted by mechanical inoculation to cucumber seedlings. Infection of cucumber plants was confirmed by ELISA and RT-PCR. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CMV infection of P. acuminatus. With the ongoing efforts to revegetate the intermountain west with native forbs, there is a need for a comprehensive survey of pests and diseases affecting these plants. References: (1) B. E.

El <em>Cucumber mosaic virus</em> (CMV) ocasiona una de las enfermedades virales más importantes a nivel mundial en plantas silvestres y cultivadas. En México son pocos los estudios que se han abordado con este virus, y dada su amplia gama de hospedantes e impacto económico, es necesario contar con mayor información de su presencia y distribución en zonas de importancia agrícola como las del estado de Colima. En este trabajo, se reportan nuevos aislamientos del CMV identificados por RT-PCR, secuenciación de DNA y su análisis filogenético: CMV-Vin en vinca (<em>Catharanthus roseus</em>), CMV-Chi en chile jalapeño (<em>Capsicum annuum</em>) y CMV-Tom en tomate saladette (<em>Solanum lycopersicum</em>). Se confirmó, además, la presencia del CMV en melón cantaloupe (<em>Cucumis melo</em>) (CMV-Mel). Los aislamientos CMV-Vin, CMV-Chi y CMV-Mel agruparon en el subgrupo IB, mientras que CMV-Tom agrupó en el subgrupo IA de CMV. De estos aislamientos, sólo CMV-Vin evidenció la presencia de un RNA satélite (satRNA Vin) sin dominio necrogénico. Este es el primer reporte de la presencia del CMV en vinca, chile y tomate y de un RNA satélite en vinca en Colima, México.

Allamanda (Allamanda cathartica L., family Apocynaceae) is native to Brazil and is a popular perennial shrub or vine ornamental in Taiwan. Plants showing severe mosaic, rugosity, and leaf distortion symptoms on leaves are common in commercial nurseries and private gardens. Examination of crude sap prepared from symptomatic leaves using an electron microscope revealed the presence of spherical virus particles with a diameter of approximately 28 nm. The virus was mechanically transmitted to indicator plants and induced symptoms similar to those incited by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). The virus caused local lesions on inoculated leaves of Chenopodium quinoa and C. amaranticolor and systemic mosaic in Cucumis sativus, Lycopersicon esculentum, Nicotiana benthamiana, N. glutinosa, N. rustica, and N. tabacum. On N. tabacum, necrotic ringspots developed on inoculated leaves followed by systemic mosaic. Tests of leaf sap extracted from naturally infected allamanda and inoculated indicator plants using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were positive to rabbit antiserum prepared to CMV. Viral coat protein on transblots of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reacted with CMV subgroup I specific monoclonal antibodies (2). With primers specific to the 3′-half of RNA 3 (1), amplicons of an expected size (1,115 bp) were obtained in reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using total RNA extracted from infected allamanda and N. benthamiana. The amplified fragment (EMBL Accession No. AJ871492) was cloned and sequenced. It encompasses the 3′ part of the intergenic region of RNA 3 (158 nt), CP ORF (657 nt), and 3′ NTR (300 nt) showing 91.8–98.9% and 71.4–72.8% identities to those of CMV in subgroups I and II, respectively. Results of MspI-digested restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns of the RT-PCR fragment and the nucleotide sequence analysis indicate that the CMV isolate from allamanda belongs to subgroup IB, which is predominant on the island. To our knowledge, CMV is the only reported virus that infects allamanda and was first detected in Brazil (3), and this is the first report of CMV infection in allamanda plants occurring in Taiwan.

Lamium maculatum L. (spotted dead-nettle) is a flowering perennial ornamental that is commonly grown as a landscape plant for an effective ground cover. In June 2010, severe mosaic accompanied by reddish brown necrosis and leaf deformation was noticed on 80% of L. maculatum growing in shade under trees and shrubs in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Leaves from 10 symptomatic L. maculatum plants were sampled and analyzed by double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA using commercial diagnostic kits (Bioreba AG, Reinach, Switzerland) against Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV), the most important viral pathogens of ornamental plants (1,2). Commercial positive and negative controls and extracts from healthy L. maculatum leaves were included in each assay. All samples tested negative for TSWV and INSV and positive for CMV. The virus was mechanically transmitted to test plants and young virus-free plants of L. maculatum using 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7). The virus caused chlorotic local lesions on Chenopodium quinoa, while systemic mosaic was observed on Capsicum annuum ‘Rotund,’ Nicotiana rustica, N. glutinosa, N. tabacum ‘White Burley,’ and Phaseolus vulgaris ‘Top Crop.’ The virus was transmitted mechanically to L. maculatum and induced symptoms resembling those observed on the source plants. Inoculated plants were assayed by DAS-ELISA and all five inoculated plants of each species tested positive for CMV. The presence of CMV in L. maculatum as well as mechanically infected N. glutinosa plants was further confirmed by RT-PCR. Total RNA from symptomatic leaves was isolated using RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and RT-PCR was performed with the One-Step RT-PCR Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer's instructions. The primer pair, CMVAu1u/CMVAu2d, that amplifies the entire coat protein (CP) gene and part of 3′- and 5′-UTRs was used for both amplification and sequencing (4). Total RNA obtained from the Serbian CMV isolate from pumpkin (GenBank Accession No. HM065510) and a healthy L. maculatum plant were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. All naturally and mechanically infected plants as well as the positive control yielded an amplicon of the expected size (850 bp). No amplicon was observed in the healthy control. The amplified product derived from isolate 3-Lam was purified (QIAquick PCR Purification Kit, Qiagen), directly sequenced in both directions and deposited in GenBank (JX436358). Sequence analysis of the CP open reading frame (657 nt), conducted with MEGA5 software, revealed that the isolate 3-Lam showed the highest nucleotide identity of 99.4% (99.1% amino acid identity) with CMV isolates from Serbia, Australia, and the USA (GQ340670, U22821, and U20668, respectively). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the natural occurrence of CMV on L. maculatum worldwide and it adds a new host to over 1,241 species (101 plant families) infected by this virus (3). This is also an important discovery for the ornamental industry since L. maculatum is commonly grown together with other ornamental hosts of CMV in nurseries and the urban environment as well as in natural ecosystems.
