AbstractPotato virus X (PVX) is a widely distributed viral pathogen that causes significant losses in potato production by co-infecting with potato virus Y or potato virus A. In this study, the resistance of 23 potato cultivars to PVX was dissected in detail using a PVX infectious clone containing a yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). Among them, four potato cultivars (Longshu-3, Eugene, Atlantic and Waiyin-2) were found to carry an Rx gene that confers extreme resistance to PVX; one cultivar (Waiyin-1) displayed partial resistance and was able to delay PVX infection by ~ 5 days; while the rest eighteen potato cultivars were susceptible to PVX. Moreover, we found that the replication but not cell-to-cell or long-distance movement of PVX was inhibited in Waiyin-1. Finally, we determined that the expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes in Waiyin-1 was not triggered by PVX infection at early infection stage, whereas they were triggered in the Rx-carrying cultivar Atlantic during this period of time. In conclusion, our results confirm that Rx is a major type of resistance gene in potato cultivars in the Northeast part of China. Furthermore, the possible mechanism underlying Waiyin-1 resistance to PVX is discussed.

RNA silencing suppressor genes derived from six virus genera were transformed into Nicotiana benthamiana and N. tabacum plants. These suppressors were P1 of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV), P1 of Cocksfoot mottle virus, P19 of Tomato bushy stunt virus, P25 of Potato virus X, HcPro of Potato virus Y (strain N), 2b of Cucumber mosaic virus (strain Kin), and AC2 of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV). HcPro caused the most severe phenotypes in both Nicotiana spp. AC2 also produced severe effects in N. tabacum but a much milder phenotype in N. benthamiana, although both HcPro and AC2 affected the leaf tissues of the two Nicotiana spp. in similar ways, causing hyperplasia and hypoplasia, respectively. P1-RYMV caused high lethality in the N. benthamiana plants but only mild effects in the N. tabacum plants. Phenotypic alterations produced by the other transgenes were minor in both species. Interestingly, the suppressors had very different effects on crucifer-infecting Tobamovirus (crTMV) infections. AC2 enhanced both spread and brightness of the crTMV-green fluorescent protein (GFP) lesions, whereas 2b and both P1 suppressors enhanced spread but not brightness of these lesions. P19 promoted spread of the infection into new foci within the infiltrated leaf, whereas HcPro and P25 suppressed the spread of crTMV-GFP lesions.

Potato virus Y (PVY) is an economically important plant virus that infects Solanaceous crops such as tobacco and potato. To date, studies into the localization and movement of PVY in plants have been limited to detection of viral RNA or proteins ex vivo. Here, a PVY N605 isolate was tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP), characterized and used for in vivo tracking. In Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi, PVY N605-GFP was biologically comparable to nontagged PVY N605, stable through three plant-to-plant passages and persisted for four months in infected plants. GFP was detected before symptoms and fluorescence intensity correlated with PVY RNA concentrations. PVY N605-GFP provided in vivo tracking of long-distance movement, allowing estimation of the cell-to-cell movement rate of PVY in N. tabacum cv. Xanthi (7.1 ± 1.5 cells per hour). PVY N605-GFP was adequately stable in Solanum tuberosum cvs. Désirée and NahG-Désirée and able to infect S. tuberosum cvs. Bintje and Bea, Nicotiana benthamiana, and wild potato relatives. PVY N605-GFP is therefore a powerful tool for future studies of PVY-host interactions, such as functional analysis of viral and plant genes involved in viral movement.

Potato virus X (PVX) encodes three movement proteins, TGBp1, TGBp2 and TGBp3. The 8 kDa TGBp3 is a membrane-embedded protein that has an N-terminal hydrophobic sequence segment and a hydrophilic C terminus. TGBp3 mutants with deletions in the C-terminal hydrophilic region retain the ability to be targeted to cell peripheral structures and to support limited PVX cell-to-cell movement, suggesting that the basic TGBp3 functions are associated with its N-terminal transmembrane region. Fusion of green fluorescent protein to the TGBp3 N terminus abrogates protein activities in intracellular trafficking and virus movement. The intracellular transport of TGBp3 from sites of its synthesis in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to ER-derived peripheral bodies involves a non-conventional COPII-independent pathway. However, integrity of the C-terminal hydrophilic sequence is required for entrance to this non-canonical route.

Potato virus X (PVX) requires three proteins, p25, p12, and p8, encoded by the triple gene block plus the coat protein (CP) for cell-to-cell movement. When each of these proteins was co-expressed with a cytosolic green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the epidermal cells of Nicotiana benthamiana by the microprojectile bombardment-mediated gene delivery method, only p12 enhanced diffusion of co-expressed GFP, indicating an ability to alter plasmodesmal permeability. p25, p12, and CP, expressed transiently in the initially infected cells, transcomplemented the corresponding movement-defective mutants to spread through two or more cell boundaries. Thus, these proteins probably move from cell to cell with the genomic RNA. In contrast, p8 only functioned intracellularly and was not absolutely required for cell-to-cell movement. Since overexpression of p12 overcame the p8 deficiency, p8 appears to facilitate the functioning of p12, presumably by mediating its intracellular trafficking. Considering the likelihood that p12 and p8 are membrane proteins, it is suggested that intercellular as well as intracellular movement of PVX involves a membrane-mediated process.

Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is a covalently closed circular RNA molecule of 359 nucleotides that replicates within the nucleus of host cells. To determine how this small, highly structured RNA enters the nucleus, we have developed a virus-based, whole plant in vivo assay that uses green fluorescent protein (GFP) as the reporter molecule. The coding region of GFP was interrupted by insertion of an intron derived from the intervening sequence 2 of the potato ST-LS1 gene. A cDNA copy of the complete PSTVd genome was, in turn, embedded within the intron, and this construct was delivered into Nicotiana benthamiana plants via a vector based on Potato virus X. The intron-containing GFP subgenomic RNA synthesized during virus infection cannot produce a functional GFP unless the RNA is imported into the nucleus, where the intron can be removed and the spliced RNA returned to the cytoplasm. The appearance of green fluorescence in leaf tissues inoculated with constructs containing a full-length PSTVd molecule embedded in the intron indicates that nuclear import and RNA splicing events did occur.

Potential Interactions

The 25K, 12K, and 8K proteins and coat protein (CP) of Potato virus X (PVX) are required for virus cell-to-cell movement. In this study, experiments were conducted to determine whether the PVX 25K protein moves cell to cell and to explore potential interactions between the PVX 25K, 12K, and 8K proteins and CP. The PVX 25K gene was fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene and inserted into plasmids adjacent to the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. These plasmids were introduced by biolistic bombardment to transgenic tobacco expressing the PVX 12K, 8K, and CP genes. The GFP:25K fused proteins moved cell to cell on nontransgenic tobacco and tobacco expressing either the 12K or 8K proteins. However, the GFP:25K proteins did not move on transgenic tobacco expressing the combined 12K/8K genes or the CP gene. Thus, movement of the PVX 25K protein through plas-modesmata may be regulated by interactions with other PVX proteins.

When Ipomoea nil was coinfected with Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), a member of the genus Potyvirus, and Potato virus X (PVX) typical symptoms caused by PVX were observed on those by SPFMV on the first upper true leaves at 14 days postinoculation (dpi). On the other hand, no PVX-induced symptoms were observed on the first upper true leaves at 14 dpi when plants were infected with PVX alone. In the case of coinfection with PVX and SPFMV, PVX RNA was detected not only in the inoculated cotyledonary leaves but also in the first upper true leaves at 14 dpi. In the case of single infection with PVX, PVX RNA was detected in the inoculated cotyledonary leaves but not in the first upper true leaves at 14 dpi. The accumulation of SPFMV remained unchanged, regardless of whether the inoculum consisted of SPFMV alone or a mixture of SPFMV and PVX. Although recombinant PVX engineered to express the helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro) of SPFMV (PVX.HC) enhanced symptoms severity in Nicotiana benthamiana, PVX.HC induced the synergism characterized by an enhanced viral movement in Ipomoea nil. Immunofluorescence microscopic examination revealed that the HC-Pro was present in phloem of SPFMV-infected I. nil. These results suggest that SPFMV HC-Pro acts as an enhancer of long distance movement for PVX in I. nil.
