MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2012 ii ABSTRACT Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) endemic to Africa is spread within and between rice fields by several species of Chrysomelid beetles and grasshoppers. In Tanzania and particularly in Kilombero District, the virus is increasingly becoming a serious problem to rice production. The relationships between the insect vectors and RYMV disease incidence and severity were not fully known hence the need for this study. The assessment of both disease incidence and severity of RYMV and population abundance of its insect’s vectors were conducted in the three divisions of Mngeta, Ifakara and Mang’ula in Kilombero District, Tanzania in 4m2 quadrat. Insect sampling was conducted using sweep net while RYMD incidence and severity were visually assessed in a 4 m2 quadrat. Results of the insect identification indicated the presence of two insect vectors of RYMV i.e. (Chaetocnema spp. and O. hyla). The population densities of these RYMV vectors were higher at the border parts of the rice fields than at the middle parts. On the other hand, the incidence and severity of RYMV disease increased with the age of the crop. Results of within field distribution also indicated a random distribution of RYMV-affected plants in the rice fields in the agro ecosystem. The field studies of the virus–vector relationship established that RYMV occurrence varied in space and time and crop development stages.

Therefore, control of viral pathogens continues to be an agronomic and scientific challenge requiring innovative and ground-breaking strategies to meet the demands of a growing world population. Over the last decade, RNA silencing has been employed to develop plants with an improved resistance to biotic stresses based on their function to provide protection from invasion by foreign nucleic acids, such as viruses. This natural phenomenon can be exploited to control agronomically relevant plant diseases. Recent evidence argues that this biotechnological method, called host-induced gene silencing, is effective against sucking insects, nematodes, and pathogenic fungi, as well as bacteria and viruses on their plant hosts. Here, we review recent studies which reveal the enormous potential that RNA-silencing strategies hold for providing an environmentally friendly mechanism to protect crop plants from viral diseases.

Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is the major viral constraint to rice production in Africa. RYMV was first identified in 1966 in Kenya and then later in most African countries where rice is grown. Several studies have been conducted so far on its evolution, pathogenicity, resistance genes, and especially its dissemination by insects. Many of these studies showed that, among RYMV vectors, insects especially leaf-feeders found in rice fields are the major source of virus transmission. Many studies have shown that the virus is vectored by several insect species in a process of a first ingestion of leaf material and subsequent transmission in following feedings. About forty insect species were identified as vectors of RYMV since 1970 up to now. They were essentially the beetles, grasshoppers, and the leafhoppers.

Virology Journal (2018) 15:72 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-018-0987-6 RESEARCH Open Access Development of leafhopper cell culture to trace the early infection process of a nucleorhabdovirus, rice yellow stunt virus, in insect vector cells Haitao Wang, Juan Wang, Yunjie Xie, Zhijun Fu, Taiyun Wei* and Xiao-Feng Zhang* Abstract Background: In China, the rice pathogen Rice yellow stunt virus (RYSV), a member of the genus Nucleorhabdovirus in the family Rhabdoviridae, was a severe threat to rice production during the1960s and1970s. Fundamental aspects of the biology of this virus such as protein localization and formation of the RYSV viroplasm during infection of insect vector cells are largely unexplored. The specific role(s) of the structural proteins nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein (P) in the assembly of the viroplasm during RYSV infection in insect vector is also unclear. Methods: In present study, we used continuous leafhopper cell culture, immunocytochemical techniques, and transmission electron microscopy to investigate the subcellular distributions of N and P during RYSV infection. Both GST pull-down assay and yeast two-hybrid assay were used to assess the in vitro interaction of N and P. The dsRNA interference assay was performed to study the functional roles of N and P in the assembly of RYSV viroplasm. Results: Here we demonstrated that N and P colocalized in the nucleus of RYSV-infected Nephotettix cincticeps cell and formed viroplasm-like structures (VpLSs). The transiently expressed N and P are sufficient to form VpLSs in the Sf9 cells. In addition, the interactions of N/P, N/N and P/P were confirmed in vitro.

It is endemic in the continent and became important after the introduction of new high yielding exotic varieties from Asia that are susceptible to the virus. The pathogen was first noticed in 1966 in Kenya but it has since spread to other parts of Africa countries. It is environmentally stable, highly infectious and about six strains of the virus now exist. Transmitted both mechanically and by insect vectors belonging to the families Chrysomelidae (Chaetocnema spp., Dactylispa spp., Hispa unsambarica Weise, Sesselia pusilla Gartucker, Trichispa sericea Guerin); Tettigonidae (Conocephalus longipennis de Haan, C. merumontamus Sjostedt) and Coccinelidane (Chnootriba similis Thunberg). Yield losses caused by the virus range from 25 to 100%. Integrated pest management and breeding for resistant varieties are the best strategies so far suggested to reduce havoc caused by this pathogen to rice. This paper reviews the economic importance, distribution, host range, symptom, transmission, varietal reaction, yield loss assessment, epidemiology, molecular characteristics, management strategies and future research needs of the virus.

    Taxonomic Implications for Fijiviruses Based on the Terminal Sequences of Fiji Disease fijivirus

    Arch Virol (1999) 144: 2259–2263 Taxonomic implications for Fijiviruses based on the terminal sequences of Fiji disease fijivirus Brief Report J. A. McMahon, J. L. Dale, and R. M. Harding Centre for Molecular Biotechnology, School of Life Sciences, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Accepted May 14, 1999 Summary. The 50 and 30 terminal sequences of the plus strand of Fiji disease fijivirus (FDV) segments 2, 3, 9 and 10 possess the conserved terminal sequences, 50AAGUUUUU.....CAGCAGAUGUC 30. The 50 sequence is identical to that of maize rough dwarf fijivirus (MRDV) and rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus (RB- SDV), whereas the FDV 30 sequence shares the consensus, CAGCNNNNGUC, with MRDV and RBSDV. The FDV terminal sequences, and the amino acid se- quences from FDV segment 9, are more closely related to those from MRDV and RBSDV than to those from oat sterile dwarf fijivirus (OSDV) and Nilaparvata lugens reovirus (NLRV; a putative Fijivirus). ∗ Plant-infecting reoviruses are classified into three genera, Phytoreovirus, Fijivirus and Oryzavirus, based on the number and size of genome segments and their elec- trophoretic profile, virion morphology, serology and insect vectors [2]. Fiji disease fijivirus (FDV) is the type member of the genus Fijivirus and the sole member of its serogroup 1. Serogroup 2 fijiviruses include rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV), maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) and pangola stunt virus, whereas the sole member of serogroup 3 is oat sterile dwarf virus (OSDV) [7]. Sequence analyses of several segments of MRDV and RBSDV have shown that the 50 and 30 terminal sequences, 50AAGUUUUU......GUC 30, are found in the genomes of the two serogroup 2 viruses [6, 1].

    End Uridylation in Eukaryotic RNA Viruses

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Widespread 3′-end uridylation in eukaryotic RNA viruses Yayun Huo1,*, Jianguo Shen2,*, Huanian Wu1, Chao Zhang1, Lihua Guo3, Jinguang Yang4 & Weimin Li1 Received: 01 March 2016 RNA 3′ uridylation occurs pervasively in eukaryotes, but is poorly characterized in viruses. In this Accepted: 15 April 2016 study, we demonstrate that a broad array of RNA viruses, including mycoviruses, plant viruses and Published: 06 May 2016 animal viruses, possess a novel population of RNA species bearing nontemplated oligo(U) or (U)-rich tails, suggesting widespread 3′ uridylation in eukaryotic viruses. Given the biological relevance of 3′ uridylation to eukaryotic RNA degradation, we propose a conserved but as-yet-unknown mechanism in virus-host interaction. Addition of non-templated nucleotides to 3′ -ends of RNA transcripts is a well-known type of post-transcriptional RNA modification in kingdoms of life. The most understood example within this category is polyadenylation, by which multiple adenosines are progressively added to the 3′ -ends of RNA substrates by the canonical poly(A) polymerase (PAP) or non-canonical PAP, thereby resulting in poly(A) or poly(A)-rich tails1–3. This process occurs in almost all organisms but plays opposite roles in control of RNA stability. The long poly(A) tail at the mature 3′ -ends of nucleus-encoded mRNAs in eukaryotes is a key determinant of transcripts stability, as well as nucle- ocytoplasmic export and translation initiation1,4. By contrast, the poly(A) or poly(A)-rich stretches, which are associated with the fragmented molecules of both coding and non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes, eukaryotes and organelles, serve as toeholds for 3′ to 5′ exoribonucleases to attack the RNA2,5,6.
