Accepted 15 August, 2012 During March and April of 2011, 436 samples showing viral disease symptoms were collected from canola fields in the Khorasan Razavi province. The samples were tested by double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the presence of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). Among the 436 samples, 117 samples were found to be infected with TuMV. One of the infected samples from Govareshk region (TuMV-IRN GSK) was selected for biological purification. Total RNA of this isolate were extracted and reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR was performed with specific primers according to the coat protein gene. PCR products (986 bp) was first purified and then directly sequenced. Phylogenetic analyses based on ClustalW multiple alignments with previously reported 33 isolates indicated 88 to 98% similarity in nucleotide and 94 to 99% in amino acid levels among isolates. TuMV-IRN GSK represented the highest identity to another Iranian isolate (IRN TRa6). Phylogenetic tree clustered all sequences into four groups and IRN GSK fell into the basal-B group. Nucleotide and amino acid distances between IRN GSK and other isolates in the basal-B group showed that this isolate was closely related to another Iranian isolate IRN TRa6, and distinct from other isolates in the basal-B group. These results indicate that TuMV is a common pathogen of canola crops in the Khorasan Razavi province. Key words: Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), canola, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), coat protein gene, sequence analysis. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, oilseed rape or canola (Brassica napus L.), a plants by aphids in a non-persistent manner. The most member of the Brassicaceae family (Brassicaceae important vectors have been proposed to be Myzus Burnett, syn. Crusiferae Juss.) is the world’s third-leading persicae, Brevicoryne brassicae, Lipaphis erysimi, Aphis source of both vegetable oil and oil extraction meal, craccivora and Aphis gossypii (Sako, 1980; Wang and behind oil palm and soybean (Vollmann and Rajcan, Pirone, 1999; Dombrovsky et al., 2005; Ghorbani et al., 2010). In Iran, the areas of oilseed rape production are 2007; Haj Kassem and Walsh, 2008). The CP gene is a going to be more distributed, due to an increasing variable region in potyvirus genomes and has been demand for rapeseed oil. This increased production has widely accepted for classification of different isolates in led to prevalence of infectious diseases. Turnip mosaic the genus (Sanches et al., 2003). The complete virus (TuMV) is an important member of the Potyvirus sequences of Iranian, Italian, German, Canadian, genus, in the Potyviridae family. Wide host range of this Japanese, Danish, Russian, Polish, New Zealand and UK virus can infect several plant families including isolates have been determined and numerous partial Brassicaceae. TuMV could be transmitted to healthy sequences, especially of the coat protein (CP) and 3′- UTR, have also been obtained (Nicolas and Laliberte, 1992; Ohshima et al., 1996; Jenner et al., 2000; Kozubek et al., 2007; Chen et al., 2006; Farzadfar et al., 2005; *Corresponding author.

Received: 13 May 2020; Accepted: 15 July 2020; Published: date Abstract: Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner and have been extensively studied vis-à-vis their structure, taxonomy, evolution, diagnosis, transmission and molecular interactions with hosts. This comprehensive review exclusively discusses potyviruses and their transmission by aphid vectors, specifically in the light of several virus, aphid and plant factors, and how their interplay influences potyviral binding in aphids, aphid behavior and fitness, host plant biochemistry, virus epidemics, and transmission bottlenecks. We present the heatmap of the global distribution of potyvirus species, variation in the potyviral coat protein gene, and top aphid vectors of potyviruses. Lastly, we examine how the fundamental understanding of these multi-partite interactions through multi-omics approaches is already contributing to, and can have future implications for, devising effective and sustainable management strategies against aphid- transmitted potyviruses to global agriculture.

  • The Genetic Structure of Turnip Mosaic Virus Population Reveals the Rapid
    Li et al. Virology Journal (2017) 14:165 DOI 10.1186/s12985-017-0832-3 RESEARCH Open Access The genetic structure of Turnip mosaic virus population reveals the rapid expansion of a new emergent lineage in China Xiangdong Li1†, Tiansheng Zhu2†, Xiao Yin1†, Chengling Zhang4, Jia Chen1, Yanping Tian1* and Jinliang Liu3* Abstract Background: Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is one of the most widespread and economically important virus infecting both crop and ornamental species of the family Brassicaceae. TuMV isolates can be classified to five phylogenetic lineages, basal-B, basal-BR, Asian-BR, world-B and Orchis. Results: To understand the genetic structure of TuMV from radish in China, the 3′-terminal genome of 90 TuMV isolates were determined and analyzed with other available Chinese isolates. The results showed that the Chinese TuMV isolates from radish formed three groups: Asian-BR, basal-BR and world-B. More than half of these isolates (52.54%) were clustered to basal-BR group, and could be further divided into three sub-groups. The TuMV basal-BR isolates in the sub-groups I and II were genetically homologous with Japanese ones, while those in sub-group III formed a distinct lineage. Sub-populations of TuMV basal-BR II and III were new emergent and in a state of expansion. The Chinese TuMV radish populations were under negative selection. Gene flow between TuMV populations from Tai’an, Weifang and Changchun was frequent. Conclusions: The genetic structure of Turnip mosaic virus population reveals the rapid expansion of a new emergent lineage in China. Keywords: Turnip mosaic virus, Potyvirus, Genetic structure, Population, China Background has flexuous filamental particles of 700–750 nm long Due to the error-prone nature of their RNA-dependent and can be transmitted by 40–50 species of aphids in a RNA polymerases, populations of plant RNA viruses are non-persistent manner [4, 5].

  • The Vpgpro Protein of Turnip Mosaic Virus: in Vitro Inhibition of Translation from a Ribonuclease Activity ⁎ Sophie Cotton 1, Philippe J
    Virology 351 (2006) 92–100 www.elsevier.com/locate/yviro The VPgPro protein of Turnip mosaic virus: In vitro inhibition of translation from a ribonuclease activity ⁎ Sophie Cotton 1, Philippe J. Dufresne 1, Karine Thivierge 1, Christine Ide, Marc G. Fortin Department of Plant Science, McGill University, 21,111 Lakeshore, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Québec, Canada H9X 3V9 Received 16 January 2006; returned to author for revision 6 February 2006; accepted 14 March 2006 Available online 2 May 2006 Abstract A role for viral encoded genome-linked (VPg) proteins in translation has often been suggested because of their covalent attachment to the 5′ end of the viral RNA, reminiscent of the cap structure normally present on most eukaryotic mRNAs. We tested the effect of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) VPgPro on translation of reporter RNAs in in vitro translation systems. The presence of VPgPro in either wheat germ extract or rabbit reticulocyte lysate systems lead to inhibition of translation. The inhibition did not appear to be mediated by the interaction of VPg with the eIF(iso) 4E translation initiation factor since a VPg mutant that does not interact with eIF(iso)4E still inhibited translation. Monitoring the fate of RNAs revealed that they were degraded as a result of addition of TuMV VPgPro or of Norwalk virus (NV) VPg protein. The RNA degradation was not the result of translation being arrested and was heat labile and partially EDTA sensitive. The capacity of TuMV VPgPro and of (NV) VPg to degrade RNA suggests that these proteins have a ribonucleolytic activity which may contribute to the host RNA translation shutoff associated with many virus infections.

Abstract Viruses are infectious and obligate intracellular parasites. Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is a member of the genus Potyvirus which comprises many agriculturally important viral pathogens that threaten crop production. Potyviruses are fully dependent on the host cellular machinery to fulfil their infection cycle in plant hosts. It is well accepted that viral coat protein (CP) is a multifunctional protein that plays key roles in virus propagation and host- virus interactions. This dissertation project aimed to investigate the role of CP in TuMV cell- to-cell movement, to identify the host interactors of TuMV CP, and further to characterize their roles in TuMV infection.

For A turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) isolate from asymptom- example, TuMV with just a single-nucleotide mutation in atic Phalaenopsis sp. was detected by indirect ELISA. Its the cylindrical inclusion gene (CI) can overcome the resis- presence was confirmed by RT-PCR with a pair of degen- tance gene TuRB01 (Walsh et al., 2002). A single mutation erate primers whose design was based on reported coat (+ 3394 T > C) in the viral P3 protein induces local necrotic protein gene sequences. Further analysis of the genomic lesions and overcomes extreme resistance in Brassica napus. sequence of this isolate designated as TuMV-ZH1 (Gen- Such a change results in systemic non-necrotic infection Bank accession No. KF246570) showed a high nucleotide when another mutation (+ 5447 T > C) in CI protein is in- sequence identity with isolate Lu2 (96.7%) and CHN 12 troduced (Jenner et al., 2002).
