Pest Categorisation of Non‐EU Viruses of Rubus L
SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 21 November 2019 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2020.5928 Pest categorisation of non-EU viruses of Rubus L. EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Claude Bragard, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Paolo Gonthier, Marie-Agnes Jacques, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Annemarie Fejer Justesen, Alan MacLeod, Christer Sven Magnusson, Panagiotis Milonas, Juan A Navas-Cortes, Stephen Parnell, Roel Potting, Philippe Lucien Reignault, Hans-Hermann Thulke, Wopke Van der Werf, Antonio Vicent Civera, Jonathan Yuen, Lucia Zappala, Thierry Candresse, Elisavet Chatzivassiliou, Franco Finelli, Stephan Winter, Domenico Bosco, Michela Chiumenti, Francesco Di Serio, Franco Ferilli, Tomasz Kaluski, Angelantonio Minafra and Luisa Rubino Abstract The Panel on Plant Health of EFSA conducted a pest categorisation of 17 viruses of Rubus L. that were previously classified as either non-EU or of undetermined standing in a previous opinion. These infectious agents belong to different genera and are heterogeneous in their biology. Blackberry virus X, blackberry virus Z and wineberry latent virus were not categorised because of lack of information while grapevine red blotch virus was excluded because it does not infect Rubus. All 17 viruses are efficiently transmitted by vegetative propagation, with plants for planting representing the major pathway for entry and spread. For some viruses, additional pathway(s) are Rubus seeds, pollen and/or vector(s). Most of the viruses categorised here infect only one or few plant genera, but some of them have a wide host range, thus extending the possible entry pathways. Cherry rasp leaf virus, raspberry latent virus, raspberry leaf curl virus, strawberry necrotic shock virus, tobacco ringspot virus and tomato ringspot virus meet all the criteria to qualify as potential Union quarantine pests (QPs). -
Tically Expands Our Understanding on Virosphere in Temperate Forest Ecosystems
Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 21 June 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202106.0526.v1 Review Towards the forest virome: next-generation-sequencing dras- tically expands our understanding on virosphere in temperate forest ecosystems Artemis Rumbou 1,*, Eeva J. 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. -

Highly Diverse Population of Picornaviridae and Other Members
Yinda et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:249 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-3632-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Highly diverse population of Picornaviridae and other members of the Picornavirales,in Cameroonian fruit bats Claude Kwe Yinda1,2, Roland Zell3, Ward Deboutte1, Mark Zeller1, Nádia Conceição-Neto1,2, Elisabeth Heylen1, Piet Maes2, Nick J. Knowles4, Stephen Mbigha Ghogomu5, Marc Van Ranst2 and Jelle Matthijnssens1* Abstract Background: The order Picornavirales represents a diverse group of positive-stranded RNA viruses with small non- enveloped icosahedral virions. Recently, bats have been identified as an important reservoir of several highly pathogenic human viruses. Since many members of the Picornaviridae family cause a wide range of diseases in humans and animals, this study aimed to characterize members of the order Picornavirales in fruit bat populations located in the Southwest region of Cameroon. These bat populations are frequently in close contact with humans due to hunting, selling and eating practices, which provides ample opportunity for interspecies transmissions. Results: Fecal samples from 87 fruit bats (Eidolon helvum and Epomophorus gambianus), were combined into 25 pools and analyzed using viral metagenomics. In total, Picornavirales reads were found in 19 pools, and (near) complete genomes of 11 picorna-like viruses were obtained from 7 of these pools. The picorna-like viruses possessed varied genomic organizations (monocistronic or dicistronic), and arrangements of gene cassettes. Some of the viruses belonged to established families, including the Picornaviridae, whereas others clustered distantly from known viruses and most likely represent novel genera and families. Phylogenetic and nucleotide composition analyses suggested that mammals were the likely host species of bat sapelovirus, bat kunsagivirus and bat crohivirus, whereas the remaining viruses (named bat iflavirus, bat posalivirus, bat fisalivirus, bat cripavirus, bat felisavirus, bat dicibavirus and bat badiciviruses 1 and 2) were most likely diet-derived. -
The Evolution of Genome Compression and Genomic Novelty in RNA Viruses
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 3, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Letter The evolution of genome compression and genomic novelty in RNA viruses Robert Belshaw,1,3 Oliver G. Pybus,1 and Andrew Rambaut2 1Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3PS, United Kingdom; 2Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JT, United Kingdom The genomes of RNA viruses are characterized by their extremely small size and extremely high mutation rates (typically 10 kb and 10−4/base/replication cycle, respectively), traits that are thought to be causally linked. One aspect of their small size is the genome compression caused by the use of overlapping genes (where some nucleotides code for two genes). Using a comparative analysis of all known RNA viral species, we show that viruses with larger genomes tend to have less gene overlap. We provide a numerical model to show how a high mutation rate could lead to gene overlap, and we discuss the factors that might explain the observed relationship between gene overlap and genome size. We also propose a model for the evolution of gene overlap based on the co-opting of previously unused ORFs, which gives rise to two types of overlap: (1) the creation of novel genes inside older genes, predominantly via +1 frameshifts, and (2) the incremental increase in overlap between originally contiguous genes, with no frameshift preference. Both types of overlap are viewed as the creation of genomic novelty under pressure for genome compression. Simulations based on our model generate the empirical size distributions of overlaps and explain the observed frameshift preferences. -

Here, we introduce the recently adopted com- prehensive taxonomy of viruses based on phylogenomic analyses, as applied to the plant virome. We further trace the evolutionary ancestry of distinct plant virus lineages to primordial genetic mobile elements. We discuss the growing evidence of the pivotal role of horizontal virus transfer from in- vertebrates to plants during the terrestrialization of these organisms, which was enabled by the evolution of close ecological associations between these diverse organisms. It is our hope that the emerging big picture of the forma- tion and global architecture of the plant virome will be of broad interest to plant biologists and virologists alike and will stimulate ever deeper inquiry into the fascinating field of virus–plant coevolution. -
Using New Tools to Detect and Characterise Plant Viruses
Using new tools to detect and characterise plant viruses by Mr Hao Luo This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University School of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia 2012 1 DECLARATION The work described in this thesis was undertaken while I was an enrolled student for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. To the best of my knowledge, it contains no material or work performed by others, published or unpublished without due reference being made within the text. SIGNED_____________________ DATE___________________ 2 ABSTRACT Executive summary: The overall aim of this study was to develop new methods to detect and characterise plant viruses. Generic methods for detection of virus proteins and nucleic acids were developed to detect two plant viruses, Pelargonium zonate spot virus (PZSV) and Cycas necrotic stunt virus (CNSV), neither of which were previously detected in Australia. Two new approaches, peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) and next-generation nucleotide sequencing (NGS) were developed to detect novel or unexpected viruses without the need for previous knowledge of virus sequence or study. In this work, PZSV was found for the first time in Australia and also in a new host Cakile maritima using one dimensional electrophoresis and PMF. The second new virus in Australia, CNSV, was first described in Japan and then in New Zealand.
