Yellowing Virus

Cnidium officinale is a perennial plant in the family Apiaceae. It is native to China and cultivated in China, Japan, and Korea for its roots for medicinal purposes. In August 2019, 63 C. officinale plants showing symptoms of vein chlorosis, yellowing and chlorotic spots (Supplementary Fig. 1) were collected from commercial farms in Bonghwa and Youngyang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea. Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to confirm the presence of apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), cnidium vein yellowing virus 1, cnidium vein yellowing virus 2, lychnis mottle virus, and Cnidium virus X with specific primers (Supplementary Table 1). Forty-one out of the sixty-three samples were positive for ASGV in mixed infection with one or more of the other four viruses. Nicotiana benthamiana plants mechanically inoculated with the crude sap of one of the ASGV-infected C. officinale plants showed mosaic symptom on upper leaves 10 days post inoculation (dpi). Infection was confirmed by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. N. benthamiana plants systemically infected with ASGV-CO-kr1 isolate alone were used for subsequent sequencing and host range test. Twenty-day old seedlings of 23 species of plants (two to 14 species for each family) from the families Solanaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae and Amaranthaceae (Supplementary Table 2) were mechanically inoculated with sap of ASGV-CO-kr1-infected N. benthamiana plants. ASGV-CO-kr1 infected all tested 23 species as confirmed by symptomology, RT-PCR, and Sanger sequencing at 10 to 20 dpi. The MP and CP genes of ASGV-CO-kr1 were amplified by RT-PCR with specific primers 4300-4325F/5642-5666R and 5592-5612F/6475-6499R, respectively (Supplementary Table 1). The amplicons were cloned and sequenced (GenBank accession numbers: MP = MW889883 and CP = MW889884). Multiple sequence alignment using the MegAlign program in DNASTAR showed that the complete CP and MP genes of ASGV-CO-kr1 shared 89.9%-99.7% and 83.1%-99.5% identities, respectively at the nucleotide (nt) level and they shared 92.4%-99.6% and 93.8%-99.4% identities, respectively at amino acid (aa) level with corresponding sequences of 34 other ASGV isolates from various host plants and countries. Phylogenetic analysis with the Maximum Likelihood method using the MEGA X program (Kumar et al., 2018) showed that ASGV-CO-kr1 grouped with isolates Cuiguan (KR185346), BH (LC480456), and YY (LC480457) based on the CP aa sequences, while it grouped with isolates SG (LC475148) and TL101 (MH108976) based on the MP aa sequences. ASGV is known to naturally infect apples, European pear, Asian pear, citrus, apricot, cherry, kiwifruit, loquat, lily, and lotus (Clover et al., 2003; He et al., 2019; Hu et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2017; Yanase et al., 1975). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the natural infection of ASGV in C. officinale. C. officinale plants are propagated by root division, so they are susceptible to infection with viruses. The result of this study is important for generating virus-free seedlings to produce C. officinale.

Cucurbit Chlorotic Yellows Virus

In October 2018, cucumber plants showing yellowing and chlorotic mottle symptoms were observed in a greenhouse in Chungbuk, South Korea. The observed symptoms were similar to those caused by cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV), which has been detected on cucumber plants in the region since it was reported on melon in Korea in 2015 (Lee et al 2015). To identify the potential agents causing these symptoms, 28 samples from symptomatic leaves and fruit of cucumber plants were subjected to total RNA extraction using the Plant RNA Prep Kit (Biocubesystem, Korea). Reverse transcription polymerase chain (RT-PCR) was performed on total RNA using CABYV specific primers and protocols (Kwak et al. 2018). CABYV was detected in 17 of the 28 samples, while 11 symptomatic samples tested negative. In order to identify the cause of the symptoms, RT-PCR was performed using cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) and cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV) specific primers (Wintermantel et al. 2019). Eight of the 28 samples were positive using the CCYV specific primers while seven samples were infected with only CCYV and one contained a mixed infection of CABYV with CCYV. None of the samples tested positive for CYSDV. The expected 373 nt amplicons of CCYV were bi-directionally sequenced, and BLASTn analysis showed that the nucleotide sequences shared 98 to 100% identity with CCYV isolates from East Asia, including NC0180174 from Japan. Two pairs of primers for amplification of the complete coat protein and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) genes (Wintermantel et al., 2019) were used to amplify the 753bp coat protein and 1517bp RdRp genes, respectively. Amplicons of the expected sizes were obtained from a CCYV single infection and ligated into the pGEM T- Easy vector (Promega, WI, USA). Three clones from each amplicon were sequenced and aligned using Geneious Prime and found to have identical sequences (Genbank accession nos. MW033300, MW033301). The CP and RdRp sequences demonstrated 99% nucleotide and 100% amino acid identity with the respective genes and proteins of the CCYV isolates from Japan. This study documents the first report of CCYV in Korea. Since CCYV was first detected on melon in Japan, it has been reported in many other countries including those in East Asia, the Middle East, Southern Europe, North Africa, and recently in North America. CCYV has the potential to become a serious threat to production of cucurbit crops in Korea, particularly due to the increasing prevalence of the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, in greenhouse production systems. It will be important to continue monitoring for CCYV and determine potential alternate hosts in the region to manage and prevent further spread of CCYV in Korea.

Yellowing Virus

In the autumn of 2000, an outbreak of a disease caused considerable losses in greenhouse cucumber crops in Almeria (Spain). Infected plants showed vein clearing followed by chlorosis in leaves and yellow/green chlorotic spots on fruits. These symptoms as well as the presence of Bemisia tabaci in the crops suggested the possible involvement of Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), a proposed member of the Potiviridae family, which was first described in 1960 in Cucumis spp. from Israel (1). B. tabaci populations and leaves from cucumber plants were collected from the greenhouses and analyzed by RT-PCR using specific primers (CV(+): 5′-AGCTAGCGCGTATGGGGTGAC-3′; CV(-): 5′-GCGCCGCAAGTGCAA-ATAAAT-3′) that we designed based on the partial sequence published for CVYV (2). Total nucleic acid extracts from both B. tabaci individuals and the collected plants yielded amplification products of the expected size (449 bp), which were cloned and sequenced (Genebank accession number AJ301640). The sequence was 95.6% identical to that previously reported for CVYV. Nonviruliferous B. tabaci whiteflies were given a 24-h acquisition period on symptomatic leaves and then placed in groups of 15 insects on each of 10 healthy cucumber plants at the 4 leaf-stage for a 24-h inoculation period. Inoculated and control plants were analyzed 1 week later and the infection with CVYV was confirmed (10/10) by RT-PCR. Doublestranded RNA extractions from field-collected samples and from plants inoculated under controlled conditions suggested that no dsRNA formation was associated with the infection. This is the first report of CVYV in Spain. References: (1) S. Cohen and F. E. Nitzany. Phytopathol. Medit. 1:44, 1960. (2) H. Lecoq et al. J. Gen. Virol. 81:2289, 2000.

First Report

In 2009, some commercially grown tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, exhibited mosaic symptoms. Ten plants from a total of about 72,000 cultivated plants in the greenhouses showed such symptoms. To identify the causal agent, sap from leaves of the diseased plants was inoculated into Chenopodium quinoa and Nicotiana benthamiana plants. Local necrotic lesions appeared on inoculated leaves of C. quinoa, but no systemic infection was observed. Systemic mosaic symptoms were observed on the N. benthamiana plants inoculated. Single local lesion isolation was performed three times using C. quinoa to obtain a reference isolate for further characterization. N. benthamiana was used for propagation of the isolate. Sap from infected leaves of N. benthamiana was mechanically inoculated into three individual S. lycopersicum cv. Momotaro. Symptoms appearing on inoculated tomatoes were indistinguishable from those of diseased tomato plants found initially in the greenhouse. Flexuous, filamentous particles, ~750 nm long, were observed by electron microscopy in the sap of the tomato plants inoculated with the isolate, indicating that the infecting virus may belong to the family Potyviridae. To determine genomic sequence of the virus, RT-PCR was performed. Total RNA was extracted from the tomato leaves experimentally infected with the isolate using an RNeasy Plant Mini kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). RT-PCR was performed by using a set of universal, degenerate primers for Potyviruses as previously reported (2). Amplicons (~1,500 bp) generated by RT-PCR were extracted from the gels using the QIAquick Gel Extraction kit (QIAGEN) and cloned into pCR-BluntII TOPO (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA). DNA sequences of three individual clones were determined using a combination of plasmid and virus-specific primers, showing that identity among three clones was 99.8%. A consensus nucleotide sequence of the isolate was deposited in GenBank (AB823816). BLASTn analysis of the nucleotide sequence determined showed 99% identity with a partial sequence in the NIb/coat protein (CP) region of Colombian datura virus (CDV) tobacco isolate (JQ801448). Comparison of the amino acid sequence predicted for the CP with previously reported sequences for CDV (AY621656, AJ237923, EU571230, AM113759, AM113754, and AM113761) showed 97 to 100% identity range. Subsequently, CDV infection in both the original and experimentally inoculated plants was confirmed by RT-PCR using CDV-specific primers (CDVv and CDVvc; [1]), and, hence, the causal agent of the tomato disease observed in greenhouse tomatoes was proved to be CDV. The first case of CDV on tomato was reported in Netherlands (3), indicating that CDV was transmitted by aphids from CDV-infected Brugmansia plants cultivated in the same greenhouse. We carefully investigated whether Brugmansia plants naturally grew around the greenhouses, but we could not find them inside or in proximity to the greenhouses. Therefore, sources of CDV inoculum in Japan are still unclear. This is the first report of a mosaic disease caused by CDV on commercially cultivated S. lycopersicum in Japan. References: (1) D. O.

The reverse transcription polymerace chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was successfully used for the detection of Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) and Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) in four apple cultivars of a 25 years old orchard. These two main pome fruit viruses were detected frequently in all tested apple cultivars. ASGV and ASPV occurred in as many as 16 trees (in the cultivar Spartan) and 13 trees (in the cultivar Idared) out of 20 tested trees, respectively. Mixed infection by ASGV and ASPV was found in all tested cultivars (as many as 9 out of 20 tested trees of the cultivar Spartan).

Partial nucleotide sequences of amplification products obtained from four European apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) isolates using degenerate primers showed 80 to 85% similarity with the published ASGV sequence of a Japanese strain but 98 to 100% identities among themselves. Based on these sequences, two ASGV-specific primers (ASGV4F-ASGV4R) were designed to amplify a 574-bp fragment located in the putative viral RNA polymerase. With these primers, six European and five American ASGV isolates, maintained in herbaceous hosts (Chenopodium quinoa, Nicotiana glutinosa, and N. occidentalis) or in apple trees, were readily detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Using these specific ASGV primers, dsRNA preparations have been shown to constitute good templates for reliable amplification of ASGV sequences from leaves and bark tissues of apple trees, both in a two-step RT-PCR protocol and in the one-step Titan One-Tube RT-PCR. System. Furthermore, the one-step RT-PCR system allowed a specific amplification of ASGV sequences directly from clarified crude extracts of leaves and bark tissues of apple trees during both active growth and the dormant season.

Tomato Chlorosis Virus

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) are prevalent in field-grown tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production in Georgia. Typical TYLCV symptoms were observed during varietal trials in fall 2009 and 2010 to screen genotypes against TYLCV at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton, GA. However, foliar symptoms atypical of TYLCV including interveinal chlorosis, purpling, brittleness, and mottling on upper and middle leaves and bronzing and intense interveinal chlorosis on lower leaves were also observed. Heavy whitefly (Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), B biotype) infestation was also observed on all tomato genotypes. Preliminary tests (PCR and nucleic acid hybridization) in fall 2009 indicated the presence of TYLCV, TSWV, Cucumber mosaic virus, and Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV); all with the exception of ToCV have been reported in Georgia. Sixteen additional symptomatic leaf samples were randomly collected in fall 2010 and the preliminary results from 2009 were used to guide testing. DNA and RNA were individually extracted using commercially available kits and used for PCR testing for ToCV, TYLCV, and TSWV. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with ToCV CP gene specific primers (4) produced approximately 750-bp amplicons from nine of the 16 leaf samples. Four of the nine CP gene amplicons were purified and directly sequenced in both directions. The sequences were 99.4 to 100.0% identical with each other (GenBank Accession Nos. HQ879840 to HQ879843). They were 99.3 to 99.5%, 97.2 to 97.5%, and 98.6 to 98.9% identical to ToCV CP sequences from Florida (Accession No. AY903448), Spain (Accession No. DQ136146), and Greece (Accession No. EU284744), respectively. The presence of ToCV was confirmed by amplifying a portion of the HSP70h gene using the primers HSP-1F and HSP-1R (1). RT-PCR produced approximately 900-bp amplicons in the same nine samples. Four HSP70h gene amplicons were purified and directly sequenced in both directions. The sequences were 99.4 to 99.7% identical to each other (Accession Nos. HQ879844 to HQ879847). They were 99.2 to 99.5%, 98.0 to 98.4%, and 98.9 to 99.3% identical to HSP70h sequences from Florida (Accession No. AY903448), Spain (Accession No. DQ136146), and Greece (Accession No. EU284744), respectively. TYLCV was also detected in all 16 samples by PCR using degenerate begomovirus primers PAL1v 1978 and PARIc 496 (3) followed by sequencing. TSWV was also detected in two of the ToCVinfected samples by RT-PCR with TSWV N gene specific primers (2) followed by sequencing. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the natural occurrence of ToCV in Georgia. Further studies are required to quantify the yield losses from ToCV alone and synergistic interactions between ToCV in combination with TSWV and/or TYLCV in tomato production in Georgia.
