  • A Novel Species of RNA Virus Associated with Root Lesion Nematode Pratylenchus Penetrans
    SHORT COMMUNICATION Vieira and Nemchinov, Journal of General Virology 2019;100:704–708 DOI 10.1099/jgv.0.001246 A novel species of RNA virus associated with root lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans Paulo Vieira1,2 and Lev G. Nemchinov1,* Abstract The root lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans is a migratory species that attacks a broad range of plants. While analysing transcriptomic datasets of P. penetrans, we have identified a full-length genome of an unknown positive-sense single- stranded RNA virus, provisionally named root lesion nematode virus 1 (RLNV1). The 8614-nucleotide genome sequence encodes a single large polyprotein with conserved domains characteristic for the families Picornaviridae, Iflaviridae and Secoviridae of the order Picornavirales. Phylogenetic, BLAST and domain search analyses showed that RLNV1 is a novel species, most closely related to the recently identified sugar beet cyst nematode virus 1 and potato cyst nematode picorna- like virus. In situ hybridization with a DIG-labelled DNA probe confirmed the presence of the virus within the nematodes. A negative-strand-specific RT-PCR assay detected RLNV1 RNA in nematode total RNA samples, thus indicating that viral replication occurs in P. penetrans. To the best of our knowledge, RLNV1 is the first virus identified in Pratylenchus spp. In recent years, several new viruses infecting plant-parasitic assembly from high-throughput sequence data was supple- nematodes have been described [1–5]. Thus far, the viruses mented by sequencing of the 5¢ RACE-amplified cDNA have been identified in sedentary nematode species, such as ends of the virus. 5¢RACE reactions were performed with the soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines), two the virus-specific primers GSP1, GSP2 and LN715 potato cyst nematode (PCN) species, Globodera pallida and (Table S1, available in the online version of this article) in G.

  • 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.
