  • Detection and Complete Genome Characterization of a Begomovirus Infecting Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus) in Brazil
    Tropical Plant Pathology, vol. 36, 1, 014-020 (2011) Copyright by the Brazilian Phytopathological Society. Printed in Brazil www.sbfito.com.br RESEARCH ARTICLE / ARTIGO Detection and complete genome characterization of a begomovirus infecting okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) in Brazil Silvia de Araujo Aranha1, Leonardo Cunha de Albuquerque1, Leonardo Silva Boiteux2 & Alice Kazuko Inoue-Nagata2 1Departamento de Fitopatologia, Universidade de Brasília, 70910-900, Brasília, DF, Brazil; 2Embrapa Hortaliças, 70359- 970, Brasília, DF, Brazil Author for correspondence: Alice K. Inoue-Nagata, e-mail. [email protected] ABSTRACT A survey of okra begomoviruses was carried out in Central Brazil. Foliar samples were collected in okra production fields and tested by using begomovirus universal primers. Begomovirus infection was confirmed in only one (#5157) out of 196 samples. Total DNA was subjected to PCR amplification and introduced into okra seedlings by a biolistic method; the bombarded DNA sample was infectious to okra plants. The DNA-A and DNA-B of isolate #5157 were cloned and their nucleotide sequences exhibited typical characteristics of New World bipartite begomoviruses. The DNA-A sequence shared 95.6% nucleotide identity with an isolate of Sida micrantha mosaic virus from Brazil and thus identified as its okra strain. The clones derived from #5157 were infectious to okra, Sida santaremnensis and to a group of Solanaceae plants when inoculated by biolistics after circularization of the isolated insert, followed by rolling circle amplification. Key words: Sida micrantha mosaic virus, geminivirus, SimMV. RESUMO Detecção e caracterização do genoma completo de um begomovírus que infecta o quiabeiro (Abelmoschus esculentus) no Brasil Um levantamento de begomovírus de quiabeiro foi realizado no Brasil Central.

Virus transcript abundance was assessed by quantifying selected gene transcripts of Tomato mottle virus (ToMoV, a New World bipartite begomovirus) and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV, an Old World monopartite begomovirus) in whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci biotype B) after feeding on virus-infected tomato plants and after subsequent transfer to cotton, a plant that is immune to the selected begomoviruses. Real-time RT-PCR was performed using specific primers for three ToMoV genes (AV1, BC1 and BV1) and three TYLCV genes (V1, V2 and C3). The ToMoV gene transcripts rapidly became undetectable in whiteflies following transfer from tomato to cotton, probably because degradation was not accompanied by new synthesis. On the other hand, TYLCV transcripts increased after transfer of whiteflies to cotton, indicating active TYLCV transcription. Interestingly, the difference observed Received 5 October 2004 in ToMoV and TYLCV transcripts in the vector parallel observations on the different biological Accepted 4 February 2005 effects of these viruses on whiteflies, i.e.

Viral particles were enriched from the feces of 51 wild urban pigeons (Columba livia) from Hong Kong and Hungary, their nucleic acids randomly amplified and then sequenced. We identified sequences from known and novel species from the viral families Circoviridae, Parvoviridae, Picornaviridae, Reoviridae, Adenovirus, Astroviridae, and Caliciviridae (listed in decreasing number of reads), as well as plant and insect viruses likely originating from consumed food. The near full genome of a new species of a proposed parvovirus genus provisionally called Aviparvovirus contained an unusually long middle ORF showing weak similarity to an ORF of unknown function from a fowl adenovirus. Picornaviruses found in both Asia and Europe that are distantly related to the turkey megrivirus and contained a highly divergent 2A1 region were named mesiviruses.

Vainio 2 and Carmen Büttner 1 1 Faculty of Life Sciences, Albrecht Daniel Thaer-Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Ber- lin, Germany; [email protected], [email protected] 2 Natural Resources Institute Finland, Latokartanonkaari 9, 00790, Helsinki, Finland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Forest health is dependent on the variability of microorganisms interacting with the host tree/holobiont. Symbiotic mi- crobiota and pathogens engage in a permanent interplay, which influences the host. Thanks to the development of NGS technol- ogies, a vast amount of genetic information on the virosphere of temperate forests has been gained the last seven years. To estimate the qualitative/quantitative impact of NGS in forest virology, we have summarized viruses affecting major tree/shrub species and their fungal associates, including fungal plant pathogens, mutualists and saprotrophs. The contribution of NGS methods is ex- tremely significant for forest virology. Reviewed data about viral presence in holobionts, allowed us to address the role of the virome in the holobionts. Genetic variation is a crucial aspect in hologenome, significantly reinforced by horizontal gene transfer among all interacting actors. Through virus-virus interplays synergistic or antagonistic relations may evolve, which may drasti- cally affect the health of the holobiont. Novel insights of these interplays may allow practical applications for forest plant protec- tion based on endophytes and mycovirus biocontrol agents.

Academic Editor: John Burand and Madoka Nakai Received: 25 November 2014 / Accepted: 15 January 2015 / Published: 21 January 2015 Abstract: Since the development of methods for inserting and expressing genes in baculoviruses, a line of research has focused on developing recombinant baculoviruses that express insecticidal peptides and proteins. These recombinant viruses have been engineered with the goal of improving their pesticidal potential by shortening the time required for infection to kill or incapacitate insect pests and reducing the quantity of crop damage as a consequence. A wide variety of neurotoxic peptides, proteins that regulate insect physiology, degradative enzymes, and other potentially insecticidal proteins have been evaluated for their capacity to reduce the survival time of baculovirus-infected lepidopteran host larvae. Researchers have investigated the factors involved in the efficient expression and delivery of baculovirus-encoded insecticidal peptides and proteins, with much effort dedicated to identifying ideal promoters for driving transcription and signal peptides that mediate secretion of the expressed target protein.

Será uma temporada especial, em que a OSB comemorará os seus 70 anos. Ainda estão na memória as difi culdades que essa orquestra enfrentou em passado recente. Tanto maior a satisfação e alegria em ver a situação em que a OSB se encontra no ano desse seu importante aniversário: setor administrativo harmonizado, situação fi nanceira equilibrada e uma verba de R$ 30 milhões anuais que, se ainda não confi gura uma condição ideal, ultrapassa em muito a realidade de suas congêneres brasileiras (à exceção da Osesp).

  • The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales
    The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales ERODOTUS never fails to fascinate with his rich and detailed descriptions of the varied peoples and nations H mustered against Greece by Xerxes;1 but one of his most tantalizing details, a brief notice of the existence of an oracle of Ares somewhere in Asia Minor, has received little comment. This is somewhat understandable, as the name of the proprietary people or nation has disappeared in a textual lacuna, and while restoring the name of the lost tribe has ab- sorbed the energies of some commentators, no moderns have commented upon the remarkable and unexpected oracle of Ares itself. As we shall see, more recent epigraphic finds can now be adduced to show that this oracle, far from being the fantastic product of logioi andres, was merely one manifestation of Ares’ unusual cultic prominence in south/southwestern Asia Minor from “Homeric” times to Late Antiquity.
