Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV; family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus) has emerged as a potentially devastating and widespread virus of onion. IYSV was first reported in the United States from Idaho in 1993 and has since spread to many of the onion-producing areas (1). In South America, the most recent reports of the virus on onion were from Peru and Chile (2,4). In 2005, onion plants in Uvalde County, Texas exhibited necrotic lesions on leaves typical of IYSV and disease incidence approached 100% in some fields with yield loss and quality problems. Five of six plants tested were positive for IYSV with double antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA; Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). In 2006, similar lesions were observed on onion plants in Uvalde County and approximately 400 km south in Hidalgo and Cameron counties. Infection points generally started as a single plant near the edge of fields and spread to plants in a 3- to 4-m area after 1 to 2 weeks. Early-season disease incidence was low in onions grown for bulbs and transplants, <10% in 2006. Disease incidence increased in some fields until the crop was harvested. Leaves of symptomatic plants were tested for IYSV and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) using DAS-ELISA, and 18 of 23 samples from the Hidalgo County area and 12 of 21 samples from the Uvalde County area were positive for IYSV. All samples tested for TSWV from these counties were negative. Virus infection in some ELISA-positive plants was verified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using primers derived from the small RNA of IYSV. The primers flanked the IYSV nucleocapsid (N) gene (5′-TAA AAC AAA CAT TCA AAC AA-3′ and 5′-CTC TTA AAC ACA TTT AAC AAG CAC-3′ (3). RT-PCR gave a PCR product of expected size (approximately 1.2 kb). The DNA amplicon was cloned and sequenced (GenBank Accession No. DQ658242). Nucleotide sequence analysis confirmed the identity of the amplicon as that of IYSV N gene and sequence comparisons with known IYSV N gene sequences showed 95 to 98% sequence identity. The primary vector of IYSV, onion thrips (Thrips tabaci), is a widespread and destructive pest of onion in south Texas. The year-to-year incidence of IYSV and the severity of the disease will probably depend on the onion thrips population levels. Bulb yield reduction could be severe during years with high thrips populations. More research is needed to determine the impact of IYSV on bulb yield in Texas, the relationship between IYSV incidence and T. tabaci population levels, and oversummering hosts. To our knowledge, this is the first known report of IYSV in Texas. References: (1) D. H. Gent et al. Plant Dis. 88:446, 2004, (2) S. W. Mullis et al. Plant Dis. 90:377, 2006, (3) H. Pappu et al.

In December 2006, symptoms typical of iris yellow spot caused by Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV; genus Tospovirus, family Bunyaviridae) were observed on scapes (seed stalks) in an onion (Allium cepa L.) seed crop in the Klein Karoo of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Symptoms included diamond-shaped chlorotic or necrotic lesions on the scapes, some of which had ‘green-islands’ with nested diamond-shaped lesions, as well as indistinct, circular to irregular, chlorotic or necrotic lesions of various sizes. At the time symptoms were observed, approximately 5% of the scapes had lodged as a result of extensive lesions resembling those caused by IYSV. The crop was 2 to 3 weeks from harvest. Symptomatic tissue from two plants (two samples from one plant and four samples from the other plant) was tested for IYSV by reverse-transcriptase (RT)-PCR. Total RNA was extracted from symptomatic scape tissue with the SV Total RNA Isolation System (Promega, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer's instructions. First strand cDNA was synthesized with the RevertAid H Minus First Strand cDNA Synthesis kit (Fermentas Inc., Hanover, MD), followed by PCR amplification with primers IYSV-For (TGG YGG AGA TGY RGA TGT GGT) and IYSV-Rev (ATT YTT GGG TTT AGA AGA CTC ACC), which amplify the nucleocapsid (NP) gene of IYSV. An amplicon of expected size (approximately 750 bp) was observed for each of the symptomatic plants assayed and was sequenced. Comparison of the sequence (GenBank Accession No. EF579801) with GenBank sequences revealed 95% sequence identity with the NP gene of IYSV GenBank Accession No. EF419888, with eight amino acid differences. The known geographic distribution of IYSV in onion bulb or seed crops has increased rapidly in recent years in many areas of the world (1). To our knowledge, this is the first confirmation of IYSV in South Africa. Approximately 6,100 ha of onion bulb crops are grown annually in South Africa in the Western Cape, Kwazulu Natal, Limpopo, and Northern Cape provinces, and 600 ha of onion seed crops are grown primarily in the semi-arid regions of the Western Cape. Examination of an additional 10 onion seed crops in the Klein Karoo during January 2007 revealed the presence of iris yellow spot in three more crops at approximately 5% incidence in each crop. The four symptomatic crops had all been planted as bulb-to-seed crops, using vernalized bulbs produced on the same farm. This suggests that IYSV may have been disseminated into the seed crops on the vernalized bulbs, either as infected bulb tissue or in viruliferous thrips on the bulbs. Reference: (1) D. H. Gent et al.

<p>En cultivos de cebolla <em>Allium cepa</em> del estado de Morelos, México, se observan síntomas típicos y severos asociados a <em>Iris yellow spot virus </em>(IYSV). En esta investigación se estudiaron las alteraciones que ocasionan los aislamientos de IYSV procedentes de síntomas típicos y severos en <em>Nicotiana benthamiana</em>, las diferencias en el gen N y su filogenia. Cuatro aislamientos típicos y cinco severos inoculados mecánicamente causaron infección sistémica. En cámara bioclimática los aislamientos severos ocasionaron mayor severidad de síntomas. La secuencia del gen N de ambos aislamientos tuvo 98-99% de identidad con la nucleoproteína de IYSV y no se observaron cambios en la secuencia de nucleótidos entre ellos. Ambos aislamientos se agruparon con el genotipo IYSV<sub>BR</sub> y tuvieron mayor similitud con los reportados en Canadá y Estados Unidos.</p>

A new tospovirus was identified in iris cultivations in the Netherlands. Both serological comparisons and sequence determination of the S RNA demonstrate that this virus represents a new and distinct species, belonging to a separate serogroup, and for which the name iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) is proposed. The disease symptoms on iris are characterized by yellow spots on the leaves. Its experimental host range is very narrow and, in addition to iris, only includes Nicotiana benthamiana and Datura stramonium. The nucleoprotein of IYSV shows only 30 to 44% sequence identity with those of other tospoviruses identified so far; the highest homology being found with the tospovirus species of serogroup IV.

Iris yellow spot virus and its onion thrips vector (Thrips tabaci) are yield limiting pests of onion in the western United States. This two-year project investigated the relationship of iris yellow spot to thrips populations, soil properties, and grower management practices in six onion fields during 2005 and 2006 in Colorado. Thrips density (average number of thrips per plant per day) was negatively associated with soil pH (r = -0.61). The incidence of iris yellow spot at harvest was positively associated with organic matter, zinc, potassium, percent sodium, percent hydrogen, copper, iron, and soil pH. Thrips-days had a clear non-linear association with disease incidence at harvest. Onion plant population was positively associated with levels of iron, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc; and negatively associated with calcium, salts, percent potassium, and cation exchange capacity (CEC). Marketable (medium or larger sized bulbs) yield was negatively associated with phosphorus and percent potassium, and positively associated with salts, calcium, and CEC. Results from this project could contribute to the development of a risk index to predict potential risk from Iris yellow spot virus and its onion thrips vector. Accepted for publication 6 July 2010. Published 20 August 2010.
