Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) infects mainly cruciferous plants. Isolates Tu-3 and Tu-2R1 of TuMV exhibit different infection phenotypes in cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) and Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus L.). Infectious full-length cDNA clones, pTuC and pTuR1, were constructed from isolates Tu-3 and Tu-2R1, respectively. Progeny virus derived from infections with pTuC induced systemic chlorotic and ringspot symptoms in infected cabbage, but no systemic infection in radish. Virus derived from plants infected with pTuR1 induced a mild chlorotic mottle in cabbage and infected radish systemically to induce mosaic symptoms. By exchanging genome fragments between the two virus isolates, the P3-coding region was shown to be responsible for systemic infection by TuMV and the symptoms it induces in cabbage and radish. Moreover, exchanges of smaller parts of the P3 region resulted in recombinants that induced complex infection phenotypes, especially the combination of pTuC-derived N-terminal sequence and pTuR1-derived C-terminal sequence. Analysis by tissue immunoblotting of the inoculated leaves showed that the distributions of P3-chimeric viruses differed from those of the parents, and that the origin of the P3 components affected not only virus accumulation, but also long-distance movement. These results suggest that the P3 protein is an important factor in the infection cycle of TuMV and in determining the host range of this and perhaps other potyviruses.

Soybean ‘Harosoy’ is resistant to Cucumber mosaic virus soybean strain C (CMV-SC) and susceptible to CMV-S strain D (CMV-SD). Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Northern hybridization, we characterized the Harosoy resistance and found that CMV-SC did not spread systemically but was restricted to the inoculated leaves in Harosoy. Harosoy resistance was not controlled by either a dominant or recessive single gene. To dissect this system controlling long-distance movement of CMV in soybean, we constructed infectious cDNA clones of CMV-SC and CMV-SD. Using these constructs and the chimeric RNAs, we demonstrated that two viral components were required for systemic infection by the virus. The region including the entire 2b gene and the 5′ region of RNA3 (mainly the 5′ untranslated region) together were required. By quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis using an F2 population and the F3 families derived from Harosoy and susceptible ‘Nemashirazu’, we also showed that at least three QTLs affected systemic infection of CMV in soybean. Our study on Harosoy resistance to CMV-SC revealed an interesting mechanism, in which multiple host and viral genes coordinately controlled viral systemic infection.

Cylindrical Inclusion Protein

Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) belongs to the genus Bymovirus in the family Potyviridae and has a bipartite genome (RNA1 and RNA2). WYMV in Japan is classified into three pathotypes (I to III) based on its pathogenicity to wheat cultivars. Among these three, pathotypes I and II are discriminated by their pathogenicity to the wheat cultivar Fukuho; pathotype I infects Fukuho but pathotype II does not. In the present study, the genomic regions that are involved in such pathogenicity were examined using infectious viral cDNA clones of pathotypes I and II. Reassortant experiments between viral RNA1 and RNA2 revealed the presence of a viral factor related to pathogenicity in RNA1. A chimeric pathotype II virus harboring a cylindrical inclusion (CI) cistron from pathotype I facilitated systemic infection of Fukuho, indicating that CI protein is involved in pathogenicity. Furthermore, analysis of chimeric and site-directed mutants revealed that three amino acids at the N-terminal region of CI protein were involved in pathogenicity to Fukuho. On the other hand, at the single-cell level, pathotype II replicated in protoplasts of Fukuho similar to that of pathotype I virus. These data suggest that differential pathogenicity between pathotypes I and II was considered to depend on the ability of cell-to-cell or long-distance viral movement, in which CI protein is involved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to show the involvement of the bymoviral CI protein in pathogenicity.

Under greenhouse conditions 12 maize hybrids derived from crosses of four resistant lines with several lines of different level of susceptibility were evaluated for resistance to Czech isolate of Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV). These hybrids were not fully resistant to isolate of SCMV, but the symptoms on their newly growing leaves usually developed 1 to 3 weeks later in comparison with particular susceptible line, the course of infection was significantly slower and rate of infection lower. As for mechanisms of resistance, the presence of SCMV was detected by ELISA in inoculated leaves both of resistant and susceptible lines, but virus was detected 7 days later in resistant line. Systemic infection developed only in susceptible lines. These results indicate restriction of viral long distance movement in the resistant line.

Abstract Background Cassava is an important crop for food security and industry in the least-developed and developing countries. The completion of the cassava genome sequence and identification of large numbers of candidate genes by next-generation sequencing provide extensive resources for cassava molecular breeding and increase the need for rapid and efficient gene function analysis systems in cassava. Several plant virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) systems have been developed as reverse genetic tools for rapid gene function analysis in cassava. However, these VIGS vectors could cause severe viral symptoms or inefficient gene silencing. Results In this study, we constructed agroinfection-compatible infectious cDNA clones of cassava common mosaic virus isolate CM (CsCMV-CM, genus Potexvirus, family Alphaflexiviridae) that causes systemic infection with mild symptoms in cassava. CsCMV-CM was then modified to a viral vector carrying the Nimble cloning frame, which facilitates the rapid and high-throughput cloning of silencing fragments into the viral genome. The CsCMV-based vector successfully silenced phytoene desaturase (PDS) and magnesium chelatase subunit I (ChlI) in different cassava varieties and Nicotiana benthamiana. The silencing of the ChlI gene could persist for more than two months. Conclusions This CsCMV-based VIGS system provides a new tool for rapid and efficient gene function studies in cassava.

Brome mosaic virus (BMV) requires the coat protein (CP) not only for encapsidation but also for viral cell-to-cell and long-distance movement in barley plants. This suggests that BMV infection is controlled by interactions of CP with putative host factors as well as with viral components. To identify the host factors that interact with BMV CP, we screened a barley cDNA library containing 2.4 × 106 independent clones, using a yeast two-hybrid system. Using full-length and truncated BMV CPs as baits, four candidate cDNA clones were isolated. One of the candidate cDNAs encodes a unique oxidoreductase enzyme, designated HCP1. HCP1 was found predominantly in the soluble fractions after differential centrifugation of BMV-infected and mock-inoculated barley tissues. A two-hybrid binding assay using a series of truncated BMV CPs demonstrated that a C-terminal portion of CP is essential for its interaction with HCP1. Interestingly, experiments with CP mutants bearing single amino acid substitutions at the C-terminus revealed that the capacity for mutant CP-HCP1 binding correlates well with the infectivity of the corresponding mutant viruses in barley. These results indicate that CP-HCP1 binding controls BMV infection of barley, interacting directly with CP, probably in the cell cytoplasm.

Long Distance Movement

The M strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) does not infect squash plants systemically and moves very slowly in inoculated cotyledons. Systemic infection and an increase in the rate of local movement were observed when amino acids 129 or 214 of the M-CMV capsid protein (CP) were altered to those present in the Fny strain of CMV. While the opposite alterations to the CP of Fny-CMV inhibited systemic infection of squash, they did not show the same effects on the rates of both cell-to-cell and long-distance movement. However, the ability of CMV to infect squash systemically was affected by the rate of cell-to-cell movement.

Abstract Two aphid-transmitted RNA viruses, broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), are the most prevalent viruses in Korean pepper fields and cause chronic damage in pepper production. In this study, we employed a screening system for pathotype-specific resistance of pepper germplasm to BBWV2 and CMV by utilizing infectious cDNA clones of different pathotypes of the viruses (two BBWV2 strains and three CMV strains). We first examined pathogenic characteristics of the BBWV2 and CMV strains in various plant species and their phylogenetic positions in the virus population structures. We then screened 34 commercial pepper cultivars and seven accessions for resistance. While 21 pepper cultivars were resistant to CMV Fny strain, only two cultivars were resistant to CMV P1 strain. We also found only one cultivar partially resistant to BBWV2 RP1 strain. However, all tested commercial pepper cultivars were susceptible to the resistance-breaking CMV strain GTN (CMV-GTN) and BBWV2 severe strain PAP1 (BBWV2-PAP1), suggesting that breeding new cultivars resistant to these virus strains is necessary. Fortunately, we identified several pepper accessions that were resistant or partially resistant to CMV-GTN and one symptomless accession despite systemic infection with BBWV2-PAP1. These genetic resources will be useful in pepper breeding programs to deploy resistance to BBWV2 and CMV.

We analyzed the susceptibility of Arabidopsis mutants with defects in salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA)/ethylene (ET) signaling to infection by Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV). Mutants cpr1-1 and cpr5-2, in which SA-dependent defense signaling is activated constitutively, were substantially more resistant than the wild type to systemic infection, implicating SA signaling in defense against CaMV. However, SA-deficient NahG, sid2-2, eds5-1, and pad4-1 did not show enhanced susceptibility. A cpr5 eds5 double mutant also was resistant, suggesting that resistance in cpr5 may function partially independently of SA. Treatment of cpr5 and cpr5 eds5, but not cpr1, with salicyl-hydroxamic acid, an inhibitor of alternative oxidase, partially restored susceptibility to wild-type levels. Mutants etr1-1, etr1-3, and ein2-1, and two mutants with lesions in ET/JA-mediated defense, eds4 and eds8, also showed reduced virus susceptibility, demonstrating that ET-dependent responses also play a role in susceptibility. We used a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing CaMV recombinant to monitor virus movement. In mutants with reduced susceptibility, cpr1-1, cpr5-2, and etr1-1, CaMV-GFP formed local lesions similar to the wild type, but systemic spread was almost completely absent in cpr1 and cpr5 and was substantially reduced in etr1-1. Thus, mutations with enhanced systemic acquired resistance or compromised ET signaling show diminished long-distance virus movement.
