Effect of Natural Infection with Onion Yellow Dwarf Virus (OYDV) on Yield of Onion and Garlic Crops in Egypt Journal of Life Sciences 5 (2011) 634-638 Effect of Natural Infection with Onion Yellow Dwarf Virus (OYDV) on Yield of Onion and Garlic Crops in Egypt Salah Elnagar, Mohamed Abdel-Kader El-Sheikh and Abeer Salah El-Deen Abd El-Wahab Department of Economic Entomology and Pesticides, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Cairo 12613, Egypt Received: December 10, 2010 / Accepted: February 17, 2011 / Published: August 30, 2011. Abstract: Present work highlights, first time in Egypt, the impact of OYDV infection on crops production. Plants grown in the field were individually labelled as either apparently healthy or diseased and were marked for harvesting. The percentage of yield loss due to viral infection was determined, on the basis of the average yield parameters of the healthy plant. The natural infection with OYDV in onion and garlic fields resulted in a substantial reduction in pseudo-stem length, number of leaves, plant weight and weight of bulb as well as number and weight of cloves. Results clearly indicate the impact of natural infection with OYDV on the crop yield of infected onion and garlic plants in comparison with the virus-free (uninfected) ones. The largest reduction in the yield of infected plants occurred in Chinese garlic (Seds40) followed by (Baladi) garlic and onion Giza 20. This information suggests that measures have to be taken to prevent natural infection with OYDV into and within onion and garlic fields in order to avoid yield loss. Key words: Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV), yield reduction, onion, garlic. 1. Introduction according to the cultivars [9]. OYDV may reduce the seed production of onion seed crops by up to 50%. Both onion and garlic are important field crops OYDV caused significant decline in seed yield, cultivated in many areas in Egypt. The bulbs have to be however seed vitality was not affected [10].

Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) is an economically important pathogen causing severe disease in gar- lic, onion and other Allium crops. Eleven isolates of OYDV, all from onion originating from Calabria, southern Italy, were genetically analyzed. An OYDV onion isolate from Sudan was also included in this study. The 3’ terminal region of about 2.5 kb of the twelve isolates were sequenced and the sequences comprising a part of the nuclear in- clusion a (NIa-Pro), the complete nuclear inclusion b (NIb) and coat protein (CP) genes and the 3’ untranslated re- gion (3’UTR), were compared to each other and to corresponding sequences of other OYDV isolates from different countries and Allium hosts. The within-population nucleotide identity of the Italian OYDV onion isolates was very high (more than 99.3%), whereas nucleotide identity between them and OYDV onion isolates from Germany was 94%, Argentina 92% and Sudan 87%.

Received: 13 May 2020; Accepted: 15 July 2020; Published: date Abstract: Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner and have been extensively studied vis-à-vis their structure, taxonomy, evolution, diagnosis, transmission and molecular interactions with hosts. This comprehensive review exclusively discusses potyviruses and their transmission by aphid vectors, specifically in the light of several virus, aphid and plant factors, and how their interplay influences potyviral binding in aphids, aphid behavior and fitness, host plant biochemistry, virus epidemics, and transmission bottlenecks. We present the heatmap of the global distribution of potyvirus species, variation in the potyviral coat protein gene, and top aphid vectors of potyviruses. Lastly, we examine how the fundamental understanding of these multi-partite interactions through multi-omics approaches is already contributing to, and can have future implications for, devising effective and sustainable management strategies against aphid- transmitted potyviruses to global agriculture.

It is national in scope and practical in emphasis. It is designed to assist in the diagnosis of onion diseases and pests whether in the field, laboratory, or diagnostic clinic, and to provide an overview of pest management strategies that can be employed to reduce their impacts. In addition, an overview of primary production practices is provided. To simplify technical terminology, trade names of products and equipment occasionally will be used. No endorsement of products named is intended nor is criticism implied of products not mentioned. This handbook resulted from the efforts of many people as authors, photographers, reviewers, and sponsors to whom we express our deepest thanks. The editor gratefully acknowledges the support, time and facilities provided by our sponsors and the home institutions of our authors to this effort on behalf of the national onion community.

    Potyvirus Leek Yellow Stripe Virus Scientific Name: Potyvirus Leek Yellow Stripe Virus (Bos, 1978) Synonyms: Garlic mosaic virus, garlic yellow stripe virus, garlic yellow streak virus Common Name(s) Leek Yellow Stripe Virus (LYSV) Type of Pest Plant pathogenic virus Taxonomic Position Class: Not assigned, Order: Not assigned, Family: Potyviridae Reason for Inclusion in Manual Additional Pest of Concern Pest Description Allium species (garlic, onion, and leek) are grown commercially all over the world for consumption or ornamental decoration. Leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV) is the causal agent of yellow stripe disease in leek and mosaic disease in garlic. Severe epidemics of yellow stripe disease on leek in Germany in the 1950s, and twenty years later in the Netherlands catalyzed more intensive research into the viral causal agent of the disease (Bos, 1983). These investigations proved difficult, as the causal agents of yellow striping occurred in virus complexes that were challenging to characterize. Figure 1.

The virus particles (Fig. 1) are flexuous (rod-like and bendable) particles 815 to 820nm long that aggregate end-to-end. The protein coat of the virus is 34 kDa with a buoyant density in a cesium chloride gradient of 1.326 g/cm3 (Bos, 1981).
