Cannas grow from rhizomes to produce colorful foliage that ranges from deep burgundy, bronze, green, purple veined, and variegated. Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), Canna yellow streak virus (CaYSV), and Canna yellow mottle virus (CaYMV) are problematic viruses infecting cannas. Their disease characteristics have been reported in green-leaved varieties. This study investigated if rhizome planting stocks can be a source of virus infection. PCR and RT-PCR tests identified BYMV, CaYSV, and CaYMV sequences in 20 canna rhizomes and newly emerging leaves. Immunosorbent electron microscopy tests identified filamentous potyvirus particles in rhizome and leaf tissue. In addition, disease characteristics were examined in a subset of red-leaved varieties ‘Australia’, ‘Burning Ember’, and ‘Red Futurity’ planted in pots in the greenhouse. Plants were assigned identifying codes, visual disease ratings, and samples were taken for RT-PCR and PCR virus detection assays. Statistical analysis was carried out to compare disease ratings with RT-PCR and PCR test results. Visual assessment was found to be not a reliable indicator of virus infection in ‘Australia’ and ‘Burning Ember’ plants. ‘Red Futurity’ produced the most obvious pattern of mosaic disease and virus symptoms were easier to identify in this variety. This study demonstrated that visual assessment was an ineffective method for disease identification for the red-leaved varieties. Growers would be well advised to utilize molecular testing to identify infected plants to aid in the clean-up of the crop.

Canna plants are subject to serious virus diseases. The three most common viruses identified in canna plants are Bean yellow mosaic virus, Canna yellow mottle virus, and Canna yellow streak virus. Recent studies indicate that canna plants are commonly infected with more than one virus. Thus, the efficient control of these viruses in canna plants requires the availability of a reliable method for detecting mixed virus infection. This report presents a two-step multiplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) that was developed to simultaneously detect two potyviruses and one pararetrovirus genome. We optimized the method for nucleic acid isolation for managing a large population of samples, and the primer concentrations to ensure sensitivity and reliability of the assay, and determined the detection limit in simplex and multiplex RT-PCR assays using plasmid controls and nucleic acids isolated from virus-infected plants. Combined with an automated method for total nucleic acid isolation, this multiplex RT-PCR procedure could be routinely used for virus detection in research and diagnostic laboratories.

<p class="IsiabstrakIndonesia">Salah satu kendala penting pada budidaya tanaman lada yaitu penyakit kerdil yang disebabkan oleh <em>Piper yellow mottle virus </em>(PYMoV) dan <em>Cucumber mosaic virus </em>(CMV). Tindakan pencegahan penyebaran penyakit dapat dilakukan salah satunya dengan penggunaan benih sehat bebas dari infeksi PYMoV dan CMV. Tujuan penelitian adalah mendeteksi keberadaan PYMoV dan CMV pada benih lada siap tanam secara serologi menggunakan teknik ELISA. Benih lada yang dideteksi berumur 5 bulan, berasal dari penangkar benih di Sukabumi (Jawa Barat) dan Purbalingga (Jawa Tengah). Varietas lada yang diambil di Sukabumi adalah Natar 1, Petaling, dan Lampung Daun Kecil., masing-masing sebanyak 10 sampel, sedangkan di Purbalingga hanya ada Natar 1, diambil 30 sampel. Di setiap lokasi pembibitan juga dilakukan pengamatan terhadap gejala infeksi virus yang ditemukan. Deteksi virus dilakukan secara <em>Double Antibody Sandwich</em> (DAS)-ELISA menggunakan antiserum <em>Banana streak virus</em> (BSV) untuk PYMoV dan antiserum CMV untuk deteksi CMV. Hasil ELISA dibaca nilai absorbannya dengan elisa reader pada panjang gelombang 405 nm. Sampel dinilai positif, jika nilai absorbansinya 1,5 kali lebih besar daripada kontrol negatif. Gejala infeksi virus pada benih bervariasi, yaitu klorotik, belang, dan belang disertai perubahan bentuk daun. Hasil pengujian ELISA menunjukkan bahwa 66% benih lada dari Sukabumi dan 46% dari Purbalingga terinfeksi virus CMV. Namun, tidak ada satu pun yang menunjukkan reaksi positif terhadap antiserum PYMoV. Hal ini diduga karena konsentrasi PYMoV terlalu rendah sehingga tidak terdeteksi secara ELISA. Untuk mencegah penyebaran virus, deteksi virus pada benih lada penting dilakukan sebelum digunakan sebagai bahan tanaman. </p>

AbstractBrome mosaic virus (BMV) and cocksfoot mottle virus (CfMV) are pathogens of grass species including all economically important cereals. Both viruses have been identified in Poland therefore they create a potential risk to cereal crops. In this study, a duplex—reverse transcription—polymerase chain reaction (duplex-RT-PCR) was developed and optimized for simultaneous detection and differentiation of BMV and CfMV as well as for confirmation of their co-infection. Selected primers CfMVdiag-F/CfMVdiag-R and BMV2-F/BMV2-R amplified 390 bp and 798 bp RT-PCR products within coat protein (CP) region of CfMV and replicase gene of BMV, respectively. Duplex-RT-PCR was successfully applied for the detection of CfMV-P1 and different Polish BMV isolates. Moreover, one sample was found to be co-infected with BMV-ML1 and CfMV-ML1 isolates. The specificity of generated RT-PCR products was verified by sequencing. Duplex-RT-PCR, like conventional RT-PCR, was able to detect two viruses occurring in plant tissues in very low concentration (as low as 4.5 pg/µL of total RNA). In contrast to existing methods, newly developed technique offers a significant time and cost-saving advantage. In conclusion, duplex-RT-PCR is a useful tool which can be implemented by phytosanitary services to rapid detection and differentiation of BMV and CfMV.

Resistance Evaluation of Chillipepper Cultivars for Cucumber Mosaic Virus and Chilli Veinal Mottle Virus.  The use of resistance culivars is an important strategy for management of virus infection in chillipepper. A research was undergone to study the effect of single and mix infection of CMV and ChiVMV on the disease incidence and on the growth and yield of nine chillipepper cultivars, i.e. Cilibangi 4, Cilibangi 5, Cilibangi 6, Helem, Jatilaba, Tit Bulat, Tit Segitiga, Tit Super and Tampar. Mechanical inoculation was conducted to transmit the virus. Infection of the virus was then confirmed with DAS-ELISA.  In general, inoculated chillipepper cultivars developed similar symptoms, i.e. mosaic type for CMV and mottle type for ChiVMV.  More severe symptom was not always observed from mix infection of CMV and ChiVMV. Disease incidence occurred in the range of 16.67 – 86.0% and this caused 18.3 – 98.6% yield loss.  Based on symptom expression, ELISA result, and reduction on yield, it can be concluded that all chillipepper cultivars used in this study could not hold up the virus infection. However, several cultivars showed tolerance response :  Jatilaba, Tit Super, and Tampar for CMV; Cilibangi 4 for ChiVMV; Tit Super for mix infection; and Cilibangi 5 for CMV, ChiVMV, and mix infection.  Further evaluation and investigation involving different chillipepper cultivars should be conducted.
