Prune dwarf virus (PDV) is a member of ilarviruses that infects stone fruit species such as cherry, plum and peach, and ornamentally grown trees worldwide. The virus lacks an RNA silencing suppressor. Infection by PDV either alone, or its mixed infection with other viruses causes deteriorated fruit marketability and reduced fruit yields. Here, we report the molecular identification of PDV from sweet cherry in the prominent fruit growing region of Ontario, Canada known as the Niagara fruit belt using next generation sequencing of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). We assessed its incidence in an experimental farm and determined the full genome sequence of this PDV isolate. We further constructed an infectious cDNA clone. Inoculation of the natural host cherry with this clone induced a dwarfing phenotype. We also examined its infectivity on several common experimental hosts. We found that it was infectious on cucurbits (cucumber and squash) with clear symptoms and Nicotiana benthamiana without causing noticeable symptoms, and it was unable to infect Arabidopsis thaliana. As generating infectious clones for woody plants is very challenging with limited success, the PDV infectious clone developed from this study will be a useful tool to facilitate molecular studies on PDV and related Prunus-infecting viruses.

Prune dwarf virus (PDV) is a plant RNA viral pathogen in many orchard trees worldwide. Our knowledge about resistance genes or resistant reactions of plant hosts to PDV is scant. To fill in part of this gap, an aim of this study was to investigate reactions to PDV infection in a model host, Chenopodium quinoa. Our investigations concentrated on morphological and ultrastructural changes after inoculation with PDV strain 0599. It turned out that PDV infection can cause deformations in host cells but also induce changes in the organelles, such as chloroplasts in inoculated leaves. Moreover, we also demonstrated specific reactions/changes, which could be associated with both types of vascular tissue capable of effectively blocking the systemic spread of PDV to upper leaves. Furthermore, the relative amount of virus, P1 protein deposition, and movement protein (MP) gene expression consequently decreased in PDV-inoculated leaves.
