Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (ScYLV) causes severe leaf symptoms in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). It is a single-stranded RNA virus assigned to the genus Polerovirus, family Luteoviridae (1). ScYLV is transmitted by two aphid species, Melanaphis sacchari and Rhopalosiphum maidis. Although barley (Hordeum vulgare), oats (Avena sativa), and wheat (Triticum spp.) are susceptible to ScYLV when experimentally inoculated (3), this virus, related serologically to Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV)-RPV (4), has never been detected naturally in these cereals. In this study, 240 barley leaves were randomly collected from six fields in Tunisia following a north-south trend during the high infestation periods (March/April) in the 2013 growing season. Samples were tested by DAS-ELISA, using three antibodies (Bioreba AG, Switzerland), two of them, BYDV-B and BYDV-F, specific to luteoviruses corresponding to BYDV-PAV and BYDV-MAV, respectively, and the third one, BYDV-RPV, specific to the polerovirus synonymous to Cereal yellow dwarf virus (CYDV)-RPV. Based on DAS-ELISA, 30 samples were found positive for B/CYDV infection; 17 out of the 30 infected samples contained a single serotype, BYDV-PAV, and 13 out of the 30 infected samples contained two serotypes, PAV and RPV. Total RNA was extracted from all positive samples, and RT-PCR of the viral CP gene was performed with Lu1/Lu4 primers (2). A product of 531 bp was cloned and sequenced. The identities among the sequences determined varied between 80 to 100%, and from the 17 samples containing BYDV-PAV, six distinct BYDV-PAV sequences were revealed and named PAV-TN1 to PAV-TN6 (GenBank Accession No. JX402453 to JX402457 and KF271792). Fortuitously, all 13 positive samples corresponding to the serotypes PAV-RPV exhibited 98.7 to 99.3% identity with ScYLV isolates. These 13 samples contained three distinct sequences that were named ScYLV-Tun1 to ScYLV-Tun3 (GenBank Accession No. KF836888 to KF836890). Of the 17 PAV-positive samples collected, six were infected with PAV-TN1, four with PAV-TN2, four with PAV-TN3, one with PAV-TN4, one with PAV-TN5, and the last one with PAV-TN6. Of the 13 ScYLV-positive samples, seven were infected with ScYLV-Tun1, four with ScYLV-Tun2, and two with ScYLV-Tun3. Phylogenetic analysis showed that PAV-TN sequences formed a very tight cluster (>98%) corresponding to BYDV subspecies PAV-II, whereas all three Tunisian ScYLV sequences were clustered together. This study provides the first report of ScYLV isolates infecting barley crops in Tunisia, and confirms serological cross-reactivity between ScYLV and BYDV-RPV when commercial antibodies against BYDV-RPV are used.

Two sugarcane cultivars, H 50-7209 and H 32-8560, have exhibited unusual, severe leaf yellowing for more than 18 years at Agro Industrial Paramonga S.A. (AIPSA) in Peru. In 1999, these varieties occupied about 4,600 ha (74% of the cultivated area), and almost all fields showed these symptoms. Symptoms first appear on the upper third of the leaf blades, which turns light green to light yellow in young canes up to 6 to 8 months of age. Between 10 and 16 months of age, the symptoms are visible on the spindle and first to third visible dewlap leaves. Tips and margins of older leaves become necrotic, and leaves can turn completely necrotic as the necrosis progresses down the leaves. The abaxial surface of leaf midribs is rarely bright yellow, which differs from the characteristic symptom of yellow leaf syndrome caused by the Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (ScYLV) (1). The most severe symptoms occur when the leaves of stalks that flower turn completely yellow and die. Samples from 98 plants exhibiting different types of yellowing were collected from six commercial fields of cultivars H 50-7209 and H 32-8560 and the germ plasm collection (cultivars PCG 59-1609, Trojan, CP 48-103, CP 72-2086, Q 87, and PR 908) at Paramonga. Tissue blot immunoassay was used to detect ScYLV in the midrib of the top visible dewlap leaf using antiserum provided by B. E. L. Lockhart (University of Minnesota) (2). ScYLV was detected in all 49 commercial field samples and in 35 out of 49 germ plasm samples. All six cultivars of the germ plasm collection were found to be infected, but ScYLV was detected in only a few leaves of Trojan and CP 72-2086. Eighteen cuttings from diseased stalks of cultivars H 50-7209 and H 32-8560 were grown in a greenhouse in Montpellier, France. Yellowing of the underside of the midribs and of the leaf tips appeared after 3 months in cultivar H 50-7209 but only after 9 months in cultivar H 32-8560. At 9 months, the top leaf with a visible dewlap and the four leaves immediately below it of cultivar H 50-7209 exhibited severe yellowing. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction with specific ScYLV primers, provided by M. S. Irey (U.S. Sugar Corp., Clewiston, FL) were used to detect ScYLV in the top visible dewlap leaf (1), and ScYLV was found in all nine samples taken from 6-month-old plants of the two cultivars. This is the first report of ScYLV in Peru. References: (1) J. C. Comstock et al. Sugar Cane 4:21, 1998. (2) S. Schenck et al. Sugar Cane 4:5, 1997.

AbstractSugarcane yellow leaf (SCYL), caused by the sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) is a major disease affecting sugarcane, a leading sugar and energy crop. Despite damages caused by SCYLV, the genetic base of resistance to this virus remains largely unknown. Several methodologies have arisen to identify molecular markers associated with SCYLV resistance, which are crucial for marker-assisted selection and understanding response mechanisms to this virus. We investigated the genetic base of SCYLV resistance using dominant and codominant markers and genotypes of interest for sugarcane breeding. A sugarcane panel inoculated with SCYLV was analyzed for SCYL symptoms, and viral titer was estimated by RT-qPCR. This panel was genotyped with 662 dominant markers and 70,888 SNPs and indels with allele proportion information. We used polyploid-adapted genome-wide association analyses and machine-learning algorithms coupled with feature selection methods to establish marker-trait associations. While each approach identified unique marker sets associated with phenotypes, convergences were observed between them and demonstrated their complementarity. Lastly, we annotated these markers, identifying genes encoding emblematic participants in virus resistance mechanisms and previously unreported candidates involved in viral responses. Our approach could accelerate sugarcane breeding targeting SCYLV resistance and facilitate studies on biological processes leading to this trait.
