Vector Capability of Xiphinema americanum sensu lato in California 1 JOHN A. GRIESBACH 2 AND ARMAND R. MAGGENTI s Abstract: Seven field populations of Xiphineraa americanum sensu lato from California's major agronomic areas were tested for their ability to transmit two nepoviruses, including the prune brownline, peach yellow bud, and grapevine yellow vein strains of" tomato ringspot virus and the bud blight strain of tobacco ringspot virus. Two field populations transmitted all isolates, one population transmitted all tomato ringspot virus isolates but failed to transmit bud blight strain of tobacco ringspot virus, and the remaining four populations failed to transmit any virus. Only one population, which transmitted all isolates, bad been associated with field spread of a nepovirus. As two California populations of Xiphinema americanum sensu lato were shown to have the ability to vector two different nepoviruses, a nematode taxonomy based on a parsimony of virus-vector re- lationship is not practical for these populations. Because two California populations ofX. americanum were able to vector tobacco ringspot virus, commonly vectored by X. americanum in the eastern United States, these western populations cannot be differentiated from eastern populations by vector capability tests using tobacco ringspot virus.

  • Tomato Ringspot Virus
    -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ California Pest Rating Proposal for Tomato ringspot virus Current Pest Rating: C Proposed Pest Rating: C Realm: Riboviria; Phylum: incertae sedis Family: Secoviridae; Subfamily: Comovirinae Genus: Nepovirus Comment Period: 6/2/2020 through 7/17/2020 Initiating Event: On August 9, 2019, USDA-APHIS published a list of “Native and Naturalized Plant Pests Permitted by Regulation”. Interstate movement of these plant pests is no longer federally regulated within the 48 contiguous United States. There are 49 plant pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes) on this list. California may choose to continue to regulate movement of some or all these pathogens into and within the state. In order to assess the needs and potential requirements to issue a state permit, a formal risk analysis for Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV) is given herein and a permanent pest rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: Tomato ringspot virus is widespread in North America. Despite the name, it is of minor importance to tomatoes. However, it infects many other hosts and causes particularly severe losses on perennial woody plants including fruit trees and brambles. ToRSV is a nepovirus; “nepo” stands for nematode- transmitted polyhedral. It is part of a large group of more than 30 viruses, each of which may attack many annual and perennial plants and trees. They cause severe diseases of trees and vines. ToRSV is vectored by dagger nematodes in the genus Xiphinema and sometimes spreads through seeds or can be transmitted by pollen to the pollinated plant and seeds. ToRSV is often among the most important diseases for each of its fruit tree, vine, or bramble hosts, which can suffer severe losses in yield or be -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ killed by the virus.

  • 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).

Laboratorio di Nematologia Agraria del C.N.R. - 70126 Bari, Italy STUDIES ON XIPHINEMA AMERICANUM SENSU LATD WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF FIFTEEN NEW SPECIES (NEMATODA, LONGIDORIDAE) By FRANCO LAMBERTI AND TERESA BLEVE-ZACHEO Lima (1965) was the first to hypothesize that Xiphinema ameri­ canum Cobb, 1913 was a complex of different species in which he listed X. americanum, X. brevicolle Lordello et Da Costa, 1961, X. opisthohysterum Siddiqi, 1961 and four undescribed species (Lima, 1968). One of them was later described as X. mediterraneum Martelli et Lamberti, 1967 (Lamberti and Martelli, 1971) and recently synon­ ymized with X. pachtaicum (Tulaganov, 1938) Kirijanova, 1951 (Sid­ diqi and Lamberti, 1977). The morphometrical variability in X. ame­ ricanum was also studied by Tarjan (1968) who, after having examined 75 world-wide collected populations, concluded that the species status of X. brevicolle, X. opisthohysterum and Lima's Mediterranean species, presently X. pachtaicum, was justified but that all the other variations he had observed should be considered as geographical variants, cor­ related with climatic influences, within the X. americanum complex (Tarjan, 1969). In 1974 Heyns stated that «demarcation of species within the group is problematical and unsatisfactory although several of the species proposed by Lima seem to be justified ». Because of the importance of X. americanum as a vector of some plant viruses (Taylor and Robertson, 1975) we thought it useful to carry out studies which would clarify the identity of several popu­ lations from different geographical locations and establish the re­ lationships with this and the other related species.

These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 17 June 2019; Accepted: 28 July 2019; Published: 31 July 2019 Abstract: An emerging virus-like flower yellowing disease (FYD) of green Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum armatum v. novemfolius) has been recently reported. Four new RNA viruses were discovered in the FYD-affected plant by the virome analysis using high-throughput sequencing of transcriptome and small RNAs. The complete genomes were determined, and based on the sequence and phylogenetic analysis, they are considered to be new members of the genera Nepovirus (Secoviridae), Idaeovirus (unassigned), Enamovirus (Luteoviridae), and Nucleorhabdovirus (Rhabdoviridae), respectively. Therefore, the tentative names corresponding to these viruses are green Sichuan pepper-nepovirus (GSPNeV), -idaeovirus (GSPIV), -enamovirus (GSPEV), and -nucleorhabdovirus (GSPNuV). The viral population analysis showed that GSPNeV and GSPIV were dominant in the virome. The small RNA profiles of these viruses are in accordance with the typical virus-plant interaction model for Arabidopsis thaliana.

ITE contributes to and draws upon the collective knowledge of the fourteen sister institutes \Which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man- made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. Nearly half of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Nature Con- servancy Council who require information for wildlife conservation, the Forestry Commission and the Department of the Environment. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organisations in overseas projects and programmes of research.
