  • A Mosaic of Submicroscopic Entities Causing Big Problems in Cassava in Brazil
    27 a 30 de Agosto de 2019 Recife-PE A mosaic of submicroscopic entities causing big problems in cassava in Brazil (Um mosaico de entidades submicroscópicas causando grandes problemas à mandioca no Brasil) ANDRADE, E.C. Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura, CNPMF, CEP 44380-000, Cruz das Almas, BA. E-mail: [email protected] Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the third most important source of calories for human nutrition in the world. It is mainly propagated by stem cuttings and this practice led to dissemination of viruses and other systemic pathogens. In Brazil, at least three viruses were reported causing economic losses in cassava. Cassava vein mosaic virus (CsVMV; Caulimoviridade/ Cavemovirus) is widespread in the northeast semi-arid environment. CsVMV induces initial stunning on germinated stems, and as plant grows, leaves display a range of symptoms that includes a chlorosis along the veins, leaf distortion and epinasty of the young leaves. Cassava common mosaic virus (CsCMV; Alphaflexiviridae/Potexvirus), is widespread in Latin America, and in Brazil is prevalent in the southern/southeast regions. CsCMC infection interferes with the photosynthesis of plants and consequently with its development, and thus cause serious losses in root yield and the quality of the propagation material. Cassava frog skin disease (CFSD), was initially restricted to the Amazon region, but nowadays has been causing serious losses in southern plantations. Plants infected with this disease usually have no symptoms on the aerial part, while the tuberous root exhibited a woody appearance, thickened cork-like peel with opaque aspect, and coalescent lip-like slits in a honeycomb pattern.

  • 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.

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.

For viruses with ssRNA genomes, the polarity of the infectious RNA (positive or negative) and the presence of one or more genomic RNA segments are the features that mostly determine the molecular mechanisms governing the replication process. RNA viruses cannot penetrate plant cell walls unaided, and must enter the cellular cytoplasm through mechanically-induced wounds or assisted by a 1 biological vector. After desencapsidation, their genome remains in the cytoplasm where it is translated, replicated, and encapsidated in a coupled manner. Replication occurs in large viral replication complexes (VRCs), tethered to modified membranes of cellular organelles and composed by the viral RNA templates and by viral and host proteins.
