Elisabeth Mendes Martins De Moura Diversidade De Vírus DNA
Elisabeth Mendes Martins de Moura Diversidade de vírus DNA autóctones e alóctones de mananciais e de esgoto da região metropolitana de São Paulo Tese apresentada ao Programa de Pós- Graduação em Microbiologia do Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas da Universidade de São Paulo, para obtenção do Titulo de Doutor em Ciências. Área de concentração: Microbiologia Orienta: Prof (a). Dr (a). Dolores Ursula Mehnert versão original São Paulo 2017 RESUMO MOURA, E. M. M. Diversidade de vírus DNA autóctones e alóctones de mananciais e de esgoto da região metropolitana de São Paulo. 2017. 134f. Tese (Doutorado em Microbiologia) - Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2017. A água doce no Brasil, assim como o seu consumo é extremamente importante para as diversas atividades criadas pelo ser humano. Por esta razão o consumo deste bem é muito grande e consequentemente, provocando o seu impacto. Os mananciais são normalmente usados para abastecimento doméstico, comercial, industrial e outros fins. Os estudos na área de ecologia de micro-organismos nos ecossistemas aquáticos (mananciais) e em esgotos vêm sendo realizados com mais intensidade nos últimos anos. Nas últimas décadas foi introduzido o conceito de virioplâncton com base na abundância e diversidade de partículas virais presentes no ambiente aquático. O virioplâncton influencia muitos processos ecológicos e biogeoquímicos, como ciclagem de nutriente, taxa de sedimentação de partículas, diversidade e distribuição de espécies de algas e bactérias, controle de florações de fitoplâncton e transferência genética horizontal. Os estudos nesta área da virologia molecular ainda estão muito restritos no país, bem como muito pouco se conhece sobre a diversidade viral na água no Brasil. -

In this study, we test the effects of host identity, location, and sampling year on the taxonomic composition of plant viruses in six native plant species [Ambrosia psilostachya (Asteraceae), Vernonia baldwinii (Asteraceae), Asclepias viridis (Asclepiadaceae), Ruellia humilis (Acanthaceae), Panicum virgatum (Poaceae) and Sorghastrum nutans (Poaceae)] from the Nature Conservancy’s Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in northeastern Oklahoma. We sampled over 400 specimens of the target host plants from twenty sites (plots) in the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve over 4 years and tested them for the presence of plant viruses applying virus-like particle and double-stranded RNA enrichment meth- ods. Many of the viral sequences identified could not be readily assigned to species, either due to their novelty or the short- ness of the sequence. -

An Abstract of the Dissertation Of
AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Alfredo Diaz Lara for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on December 16, 2016. Title: Identification of Endogenous and Exogenous Pararetroviruses in Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Robert R. Martin The Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington in the United States and British Columbia in Canada) is one of the major producers of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in the world. The expansion of growing area with these crops has resulted in the emergence of new virus diseases that cause serious economic losses. The majority of viruses affecting plants (including blueberry and red raspberry) contain RNA genomes. In contrast, plant viruses with DNA genomes are relatively rare and most of the time ignored in virus surveys. The family Caulimoviridae is a group of plant pararetroviruses (reverse-transcribing viruses) with the ability to integrate their DNA into the host genome, resulting in complex molecular interactions that lead to inconsistencies in terms of detection and disease symptoms. Albeit, few studies have been conducted to determine the nature of plant pararetroviruses and their relationships with the associated host. To investigate the presence of pararetroviruses in blueberry and red raspberry, and their possible integration events, different plant material suspected to be infected with viruses was collected in nurseries, commercial fields and clonal germplasm repositories for a period of four years. For blueberry, using rolling circle amplification (RCA) a new virus was identified and named Blueberry fruit drop-associated virus (BFDaV) because of its association with fruit-drop disorder. -
