Safflower, Carthamus tinctorius L. (Asteraceae), is extensively cultivated in India, China, and other parts of Asia for edible oil, dyeing agent, and its medicinal value. In 2003, safflower entry (NARI-6) in the All-India Coordinated Research Project on Oilseeds (Safflower) grown in the experimental fields of M/s Syngenta India Ltd., Aurangabad (Maharashtra State, India) exhibited symptoms of veinal and leaf necrosis, necrotic streaks on the stem, necrosis of the terminal bud, and ultimately plant death. The disease was attributed to Tobacco streak virus (TSV) because sunflower growing adjacent to safflower showed similar symptoms caused by TSV (1). Mechanical inoculations of sap from symptomatic safflower leaves caused typical symptoms of TSV (local, irregular, necrotic rings, veinal necrosis, and systemic veinal necrosis) on Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. cv. C-152 and Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) cv. Topcrop, and symptoms of local, necrotic lesions, veinal necrosis, and systemic necrosis of leaf and growing bud on Arachis hypogaea L. cv. JL-24. Sap-inoculated safflower cv. Manjeera showed chlorotic and necrotic local lesions followed by systemic leaf necrosis, leading to necrosis and death of the terminal bud. Safflower cvs. A-1, BIP-2, Co-1, and Bheema (10 plants of each cultivar) inoculated with sap from safflower plants showing typical TSV symptoms did not show any visible symptoms except stunting, but six to nine plants of each cultivar tested positive for TSV using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests. In direct antigen coating-ELISA, the virus reacted positively with antiserum produced to an isolate of TSV from peanut (2) and to antiserum to TSV (ATCC-PVAS 276 for Datura stramonium), but did not react to peanut bud necrosis tospovirus antiserum. Examination of leaf extracts using leaf-dips and immunosorbent electron microscopy with the antiserum of TSV-peanut isolate showed isometric particles resembling those in the genus Ilarvirus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an isolate of Tobacco streak virus infecting safflower. References: (1) R. D. V. J. Prasada Rao et al. J. Oilseeds Res. 17:400, 2000. (2) A. S.

During the summer of 2000, severe stunting, mosaic, bud necrosis, and chlorosis symptoms were observed on peanut (Arachis hypogaea cv. Gilan) plants growing in fields in the Golestan Province of Iran. Leaf extracts of peanut plants were infective (mechanical inoculation) causing necrotic local lesions on Chenopodium quinoa, C. amaranticolor, Gomphrena globosa, Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Talash, Vicia faba, and Vigna unguiculata cv. Mashad; systemic chlorotic spots were followed by systemic necrosis in Datura stramonium, D. metel, and Nicotiana rustica; chlorotic and necrotic spots were followed by top necrosis in Glycine max. About 2 weeks after inoculation, the chlorosis followed by stunting and bud necrosis observed in the field were reproduced in A. hypogaea cv. Gilan. Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was detected in the original peanut plants and in plant species that developed symptoms after inoculation with extracts from peanut plants, when analyzed by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using TSWV-specific antisera (polyclonal antibody As-0526 and As-0580, DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany). TSWV is one of the most important viruses in the world (2) and has been reported on potato (3) and tomato (1) in Iran. To our knowledge, this is the first report of TSWV infection of peanut in Iran.

Severe leaf and stem necrosis before flowering was observed in potato (Solanum tuberosum) fields of Firouzkoh Province, Iran, during the summer of 1998. Infected plants died before the end of the growing season. Necrosis was more severe in cv. Agria than in cvs. Ajaxs and Arinda. A high population of Thrips tabaci was observed in August and September. Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) (1) was detected in affected potatoes by using specific TSWV-IgG (from Bioreba) in double-antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and by indicator plant reactions. Mechanical inoculation of indicator plants with leaf extracts of symptomatic potatoes produce necrotic local lesions in Chenopodium quinoa, C. amaranticolor, Gomphrena globosa, Vicia faba, Vigna sinensis, Phaseolus aureus var. Gohar, P. vulgaris, and Petunia hybrida. The virus caused systemic necrosis in Capsicum frutescens, Datura stramonium, D. metel, Nicotiana glutinosa, N. rustica, and Trapaeolum majus, preceded by systemic chlorotic spots. TSWV was reported from ornamental crops in Tehran and Absard areas near to Firouzkoh province (2), but this is the first report of TSWV occurrence on potatoes in Iran. References: (1) T. S. Ie.

In 2001, soybean fields were surveyed to determine the incidence of viruses because soybean aphids (Aphis glycines Matsamura), known to transmit Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) (2), were found in Ontario. In addition, bean leaf beetle (Cerotoma trifurcata Forster) was found during 2000 to be contaminated with Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), although soybean plants, on which the beetles were feeding, tested negative (3). In the current survey, young soybean leaves were selected at random in July and August from 20 plants per site at growth stages R4 to R5 (1) from 415 sites representing the entire soybean-producing area in Ontario. Samples were maintained under cool conditions until received at the laboratory, where they were promptly processed. A combined sub-sample was obtained from the 20 plants per site. The 415 sub-samples were tested for SMV, BPMV, Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV), and Tobacco streak virus (TSV) using polyclonal antibody kits for double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) (Agdia Inc., Elkart, IN). The ELISA plates were read with a plate reader (MRX, Dynex Technologies Inc., Chantilly, VA), and results were analyzed using ELISA software (Leading Edge Research, Merrickville, Ontario) and compared positive and negative controls (Agdia). TRSV was detected in one sample from Essex County and another sample from Middlesex County. SMV, BPMV, and TSV were not found in commercial soybean fields. However, SMV and BPMV were found in samples originating from two soybean breeding nurseries, one in Essex County and one in Kent County. Seedlings of soybean cv. Williams 82 were inoculated in the greenhouse with sap from leaf samples that tested positive for BPMV. Leaves of plants that developed mosaic symptoms were retested using ELISA and confirmed to be positive for BPMV. SMV and TRSV have been found previously in commercial soybean fields in Ontario (4). To our knowledge, this is the first report of BPMV on soybean plants in Canada. References: (1) W. R. Fehr et al. Merr. Crop. Sci. 11:929, 1971. (2) J. H. Hill et al. Plant Dis. 85:561, 2001. (3) A.

Background: Peanut stem necrosis disease (PSND) caused by Tobacco streak virus (TSV) is a major constraint for groundnut production in Andhra Pradesh (A.P.). However, studies on prevalence and spread of the disease confined to only few districts of A.P. with this background current study focused on incidence and spread of the disease in entire state of A.P. Further an isolate of TSV occurring in A.P. characterized on the basis of genetic features by comparing with other TSV isolates originated from different hosts and locations from world.Methods: Roving survey was conducted during kharif 2017-18 in groundnut growing districts of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) for peanut stem necrosis disease incidence. Groundnut plants showing PSND symptoms were collected and tested with direct antigen coating enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAC-ELISA). Groundnut samples found positive by ELISA once again tested by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The representative TSV-GN-INDVP groundnut isolate from Prakasham district was maintained on cowpea seedlings by standard sap inoculation method in glasshouse for further molecular characterization. The Phylogenetic tree for coat protein (CP) gene was constructed using aligned sequences with 1000 bootstrap replicates following neighbor-joining phylogeny.Result: Thirty-eight (52.7%) of seventy-two groundnut samples collected from different locations in A.P were given positive reaction to TSV by DAC-ELISA. For the first time, PSND incidence observed in coastal districts (Krishna, Guntur, Sri Pottisriramulu Nellore, Prakasham) of A.P. Maximum PSND incidence recorded from Bathalapalli (22.2%) and the minimum incidence in Mulakalacheruvu (4.1%). The coat protein (CP) gene of TSV-GN-INDVP groundnut isolate was amplified by RT-PCR and it shared maximum per cent nucleotide identity (97.51-98.62%) with TSV isolates from groundnut and other different crops reported in India. All Indian isolates cluster together irrespective of crop and location based on the phylogenetic analysis.

Blackberry chlorotic ringspot virus (BCRV), genus Ilarvirus, has been found in Rubus sp. in Scotland (2) and rose in the United States (4). The possibility that BCRV infects other hosts in the United States was explored. We tested 18 accessions of Fragaria sp. and 30 of Rubus sp. maintained at the National Clonal Germplasm Repository in Corvallis, OR. Ilarviruses had been detected in these plants by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, ELISA, or had caused symptoms typical of ilarviruses on indicator plants. The accessions were tested by RT-PCR with primers F (5′-GTTTCCTGTGCTCCTCA-3′) and R (5′-GTCACACCGAGGTACT-3′) (4) that amplify a 519 to 522 nt (depending on the isolate) region of the RNA 3 of BCRV. The virus was detected in two accessions of black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.): RUB433, cv. Lowden and RUB 9012, cv. New Logan. The sequences of the fragments amplified from these accessions (GenBank Accession Nos. EF041817 and EF041818, respectively) had 97% nt sequence identity to each other and 95 and 88% nt identity to the rose and Scottish isolates (GenBank Accession Nos. DQ329378 and DQ091195, respectively). Chenopodium quinoa indicator plants inoculated with isolate RUB 433 developed mild chlorotic spots on the inoculated leaves 4 days after inoculation. RT-PCR and sequencing of the amplicons verified BCRV infection of C. quinoa. RUB 9012 was used for the characterization of Black raspberry latent virus (BRLV), later thought to be an isolate of Tobacco streak virus (TSV). This accession was recently found to be infected with Strawberry necrotic shock virus (SNSV) but not TSV (3). It is possible that BRLV may be a mixture of SNSV and BCRV. SNSV is one of the most abundant viruses of Rubus sp. in the Pacific Northwest (1), and the finding of another ilarvirus, BCRV, may account in part for the rapid decline of Rubus sp. observed in several fields in Oregon and Washington. To our knowledge, this is the first report of BCRV infecting Rubus sp. outside the United Kingdom. References: (1) A. B. Halgren. Ph.D. Diss. Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, 2006. (2) A. T.

During spring 2001, plants of different tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cultivars grown in several commercial fields in the eastern Catalonia Region of Spain had fruit with brown patches and young leaves with rings and a bright necrotic mosaic that progressed to stem necrosis of the apex, which might die and later develop new symptomless shoots. The symptoms were similar to those of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Sap of tomato sample R1 (in buffered saline [0.02 M sodium phosphate, 0.15 M NaCl at pH 7.2, containing 0.2% 2-mercaptoethanol]) was infective to Cucumis sativus (local necrosis), tomato cv. Marmande (systemic infection consisting of chlorotic local lesions and necrotic mosaic), Nicotiana clevelandii and N. benthamiana (chlorosis and rosetting), and Chenopodium quinoa (chlorotic local lesions, systemic mottle, and leaf distortion). The sap was not infective to N. glutinosa, N. tabacum cv. Xanthi, Datura stramonium, or Gomphrena globosa. The host range data indicated that the infective agent in sample R1 could be Parietaria mottle virus (PMoV) (1). Symptomatic plants inoculated in a greenhouse with the R1 isolate and symptomatic from tomato plants from the field were analyzed by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and had minimum ELISA values at least 10-fold higher than healthy controls, using a polyclonal antiserum (provided by P. Roggero) of a tomato strain of PMoV denoted tomato virus 1 (2). The R1 isolate of PMoV was negative in ELISA when analyzed with commercial antisera to TSWV, CMV, Tomato mosaic virus, Tomato bushy stunt virus, Potato Y virus, Tobacco etch virus, Pelargonium zonate spot virus, and Tobacco streak virus.

Strawberry necrotic shock virus (SNSV) is an economically important viral pathogen that infects Fragaria and Rubus spp. SNSV was first identified in the 1950s and early studies indicated that SNSV was a strain of Tobacco streak virus (TSV). Recently, it was shown that SNSV was a distinct virus based on molecular characterization (2). Currently, SNSV is a tentative member of the Ilarvirus genus in the Bromoviridae family. In 2008, a small sampling survey for SNSV was done in Heilongjiang Province of China, and 15 strawberry samples were collected from symptomless strawberries in a home garden that had more than 5 years of strawberry cultivation history. Total nucleic acid was extracted from strawberry leaflets by modified cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide methods (3). Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was operated with the published primer pair CPbeg F/CPend R (2). Amplified DNA fragments with the predicted size were obtained only in one strawberry sample, which was further cloned and sequenced. The sequence (GenBank Accession No. HQ830017) was closely related and highly homologous (89.7 to 98.5% identity) to that of viral isolates (GenBank Accession Nos. AY363228-AY363242) from Fragaria and Rubus spp. Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequence of the coat protein gene was done with the neighbor-joining method of MEGA 4.0 software. The result showed that all the isolates of SNSV fell into two distinct clades. The Chinese isolate formed one small clade with Japanese isolate 1291. The isolate was also transmitted to Chenopodium quinoa by mechanical inoculation in the greenhouse, and the symptom of chlorotic mottling could be found in C. quinoa and detected by RT-PCR. To determine whether the sample was infected by other strawberry viruses, RT-PCR assays with the published primer pairs SVBVdeta/SVBVdetb, SMoVdeta/SMoVdetb, and SMYEVdeta/SMYEVdetb were also performed for detection of Strawberry vein banding virus, Strawberry mottle virus, and Strawberry mild yellow edge virus using total nucleic acid extracted from the SNSV-positive sample as a template (1). The result indicated that it had been also infected by Strawberry mild yellow edge virus, although no visible symptoms were observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SNSV in strawberry in China. Additional work is needed to elucidate the biological characterization and significance of the finding. References: (1) J.
