Background: Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is the most known virus in the plant mosaic virus family and is able to infect a wide range of crops, in particularly tobacco, causing a production loss. Objectives: Herein, and for the first time in Lebanon, we investigated the presence of TMV infection in crops by analyzing 88 samples of tobacco, tomato, cucumber and pepper collected from different regions in North Lebanon. Methods: Double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA), revealed a potential TMV infection of four tobacco samples out of 88 crops samples collected. However, no tomato, cucumber and pepper samples were infected. The TMV+ tobacco samples were then extensively analyzed by RT-PCR to detect viral RNA using different primers covering all the viral genome. Results and Discussion: PCR results confirmed those of DAS-ELISA showing TMV infection of four tobacco samples collected from three crop fields of North Lebanon. In only one of four TMV+ samples, we were able to amplify almost all the regions of viral genome, suggesting possible mutations in the virus genome or an infection with a new, not yet identified, TMV strain. Conclusion: Our study is the first in Lebanon revealing TMV infection in crop fields, and highlighting the danger that may affect the future of agriculture.

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is grown on approximately 1,500 ha in commercial greenhouses and is of major economic importance in the Souss-Massa Region, Agadir, Morocco. Since October 2003, symptoms resembling a viral disease, consisting of pod mosaic and distortion and mild to severe mosaic in leaves, have been observed on bean plants in several greenhouses. Mechanical inoculation with symptomatic leaf extracts produced necrotic local lesions on P. vulgaris ‘Pinto’ and systemic symptoms similar to those observed in the naturally infected bean plants P. vulgaris ‘Donna’ (five plants per cultivar). Inoculated and naturally infected samples reacted positively using a double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) to Southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV) (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany), a member of the Sobemovirus genus that is transmitted by contact, soil, beetles, and seeds (1). Virions purified from a naturally infected ‘Donna’ plant contained a 30-kDa polypeptide that reacted positively using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blot analysis with SBMV antiserum (DSMZ). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction amplification with SMBV primers as described by Verhoeven et al. (2) produced an expected 870-bp band. The amplicon was cloned, sequenced (GenBank Accession No. AJ748276), and compared to those isolates available in GenBank and had a nucleotide sequence identity of 87% and a derived amino acid sequence identity of 95% with an SBMV isolate from Spain (2). During a survey in different areas of the Souss-Massa Region, 20 symptomatic leaf and pod samples were randomly collected from 12 greenhouses (50 ha) where significant commercial losses were suffered because of this virus disease, and all samples were positive using DAS-ELISA for SBMV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SBMV in Morocco. References: (1) J. H. Tremaine and R. I. Hamilton. Southern bean mosaic virus. No. 274 in: Descriptions of Plant Viruses.

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) causes serious damage to cucurbit crops worldwide and can be spread by aphids, by mechanical injury, and in seeds. With the popularization of cucurbit grafting, the use of susceptible rootstock has increased the risk of ZYMV infection in cucurbit crops. In China, the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is a widely used rootstock in grafted watermelon production. However, few resistant bottle gourds are available commercially. This study developed bottle gourd lines resistant to ZYMV using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis. A new mutated bottle gourd population (M1) was generated by treating seeds with EMS. Diverse phenotypes were observed in the seedlings, flowers, and fruit of M2 plants, some of which are of potential commercial interest, such as dwarfing and different fruit shapes. Based on the M2 phenotypes, 106 M3 lines were selected and screened for resistance to ZYMV by mechanical inoculation and agroinfiltration. Nine M3 lines were resistant to ZYMV during three tests. One inbred M4 line (177-8) was developed and showed stable resistance and no virus when tested using a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction. These resistant lines are promising materials for developing watermelon rootstock and exploring resistance genes as new ZYMV-resistant resources. EMS induction could be a practical strategy for creating resistant cucurbit crops.

During the 2000 growing season, tobacco plants showing blotching of the leaves with light and dark green areas suggestive of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection were observed in several counties in Georgia. Symptomatic plants appeared in the field within 4 weeks after transplanting. The incidence in individual fields was as high as 100%. A survey was conducted in several tobacco-growing counties, and the presence of TMV was verified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Symptomatic plants were collected from the following 20 counties: Appling, Bacon, Berrien, Coffee, Colquitt, Cook, Echols, Evans, Grady, Irwin, Jeff Davis, Lanier, Lowndes, Montgomery, Pierce, Tattnall, Tift, Toombs, Ware, and Wayne. Of the 79 samples tested by ELISA, TMV was found to be present in 76 samples. This high degree of incidence of TMV in Georgia's tobacco has not been observed in the past. Although the specific reasons are not clear, all severe cases of TMV were observed in two varieties, NC71 and NC72, or plants of other varieties out of beds or plant houses that held these two varieties and were clipped with the same mower. While TMV and Potato virus Y (PVY) were found most prevalent in Georgia's flue-cured tobacco in 1999 (2), none of the plants tested were positive for PVY in 2000. Cucumber mosaic virus was reported to be more common in Florida during the last 3 years (1). The severe outbreak of TMV highlights the importance of preventive measures such as observing sound sanitation practices. References: (1) T. A. Kucharek et al. Plant Dis. 82:1172, 1998; (2) H. R.

Abstract Virus-like particles are an emerging class of nano-biotechnology with the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) having found a wide range of applications in imaging, drug delivery, and vaccine development. TMV is typically produced in planta, and, as an RNA virus, is highly susceptible to natural mutation that may impact its properties. Over the course of two years, from 2018 until 2020, our laboratory followed a spontaneous point mutation in the TMV coat protein—first observed as a 30 Da difference in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The mutation would have been difficult to notice by electrophoretic mobility in agarose or SDS-PAGE and does not alter viral morphology as assessed by transmission electron microscopy. The mutation responsible for the 30 Da difference between the wild-type (wTMV) and mutant (mTMV) coat proteins was identified by a bottom-up proteomic approach as a change from glycine to serine at position 155 based on collision-induced dissociation data. Since residue 155 is located on the outer surface of the TMV rod, it is feasible that the mutation alters TMV surface chemistry. However, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays found no difference in binding between mutant and wild-type TMV. Functionalization of a nearby residue, tyrosine 139, with diazonium salt, also appears unaffected. Overall, this study highlights the necessity of standard workflows to quality-control viral stocks. We suggest that ESI-MS is a straightforward and low-cost way to identify emerging mutants in coat proteins.

`Wild White' African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha H. Wendl.) was previously reported to be probably immune to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection. In this study, 15 other S. ionantha cultivars were mechanically inoculated with 200 μg TMV/ml sodium phosphate buffer. Two weeks postinoculation, tissue was harvested and assayed for TMV infection by a) TMV-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and b) bioassay on the local lesion host, `Samsun NN' tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). There was evidence of TMV infection in directly inoculated tissue of each of the 15 S. ionantha cultivars but not in noninoculated tissue or in mock-inoculated control plants. The small amount of virus recovered from inoculated tissue was shown to be the result of de facto viral infection and not the detection of residual inoculum. Postinoculation treatment with ultraviolet light significantly enhanced virus recovery in directly inoculated tissue. These results suggest that S. ionantha is not immune to TMV infection and that this host undergoes an asymptomatic subliminal infection by TMV.

Papaya mosaic virus (PMV) is a member of the Potexvirus group and has filamentous particles of 530 nm with a positive sense single-stranded RNA of 6.6Kb. PMV was detected in Mexico in diseased papaya plants growing alone and in mixed plantations with pumpkin. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) and standard double-antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) procedures were used on 45 leaf samples from single plants in seven locations in southeast Mexico (States of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo). PCR primer design was based on a GenBank sequence with accession number D13957 (1). Amplified PCR products were cloned using a TOPO TA Cloning Kit and sequenced by the dideoxy chain termination method. Twenty-six samples tested positive for PMV using one or both detection techniques: 23 of 41 from papaya and three of four from pumpkin. The two sequences reported here, YY-15 and YY-22 (from papaya and pumpkin respectively, with accession numbers AYO17186 and AYO17187), were 1180 nucleotides long and contained a fragment of ORF3, the complete ORF4 and the putative CP gene, including the 3′ end untranslatable region. Within the CP gene sequence, the amino acid sequence derived had a similarity of 88% with that of D13957 from the GenBank. The similarity of the CP between the two Mexican isolates (from papaya and pumpkin) was 94% and would therefore represent two variants of PMV. A healthy papaya plant in the greenhouse, inoculated with tissue from an infected papaya plant from the field, tested positive for PMV in DAS-ELISA. (PVX was used as a negative control). These results confirmed the identity of the isolate as PMV. Reference: (1) T. L. Sit, M. G. AbouHaidar, and S. Holi. J. Gen. Virol. 70:2335-2331, 1989.
