Susanne von Bargen, Elise Grubits, Risto Jalkanen and Carmen Büttner von Bargen, S., Grubits, E., Jalkanen, R. & Büttner, C. 2009. Cherry leaf roll virus – an emerging virus in Finland? Silva Fennica 43(5): 727–738. Cherry leaf roll virus, CLRV, is a plant pathogen that infects a variety of deciduous trees and shrubs in temperate regions. Little is known about its occurrence at high latitudes and especially in Finnish birch species. Still, symptoms that seemed to be associated with CLRV such as vein banding, leaf roll and decline have been observed in birch trees throughout the country since the summer of 2002. Six different birch species, subspecies or varieties, i.e. Betula pubescens subsp. pubescens (downy birch), B. pendula (silver birch), B. nana (dwarf birch), B. pubescens var. appressa (Kiilopää birch), B. pubescens subsp. czerepanovii (moun- tain birch) and B. pendula var. carelica (curly birch) originating from all over Finland were assessed by immunocapture-reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) for CLRV infection. It was shown that CLRV is widely distributed in B. pendula and B. pubescens throughout the country. Furthermore, dwarf birch, mountain birch, Kiilopää birch and curly birch were confirmed to be previously unkown hosts of CLRV. Genetic analysis of virus sequence variants originating from Finnish birch trees revealed atypical phylogenetic relationships. In contrast to CLRV isolates from birches growing in the United Kingdom and Germany which clustered exclusively within group A, Finnish CLRV isolates belonged either to group B, D or E.

Accepted 9 March, 2011 Two new cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) isolates (Ah and Ad) were isolated and detected from traditionally-grown walnuts that showed severe apical necrosis and chlorotic spots in systemically infected Cheneopodium amaranticolor , in the eastern part of Turkey. The 404 and 405 bp long DNA fragments of the 3’-non-coding region of both isolates from PCR reactions were cloned and sequenced. A significant genetic variability (up to 14% divergence between sequences) was found within the 3’ terminal region of viral genome of CLRV Turkish isolates compared with the isolates in databases. The sequence of Ad isolate was found to share 84 to 98% and the Ah isolate was found to share 85 to 97% nucleotide identity with corresponding sequences of the selected world isolates. An RNA riboprobe generated for CLRV-Ad isolate reacted also with the CLRV-Ah isolate in dot blot molecular hybridization test. Positive reactions were still visible in hybridization test when the extracts of infected fresh and dried leaf tissues of C. amaranticolor diluted 1:20. Western blot analysis revealed that the molecular mass of the coat protein of about 52 kDa for both isolates.

The most recorded natural hosts of CLRV are birch species (Betula spp.), black elderberry (Sambucus nigra), English walnut (Juglans regia) and sweet cherry (Prunus avium). To date, the host range comprises in total 26 plant genera. Known transmission pathways by seeds, pollen, water, or mechanically for instance, by roots intergrowth are considered as interacting factors for CLRV dispersal. Involvement of biological vectors in the epidemiology of CLRV has not been resolved by previous sporadic studies. So far, evidence of nematode´s attendance in CLRV transmission has not been supported (Jones et al. 1981; Wang et al. 2002). Also Myzus persicae (Sulzer) has been excluded as a vector of a CLRV-elm isolate by transmission experiments in previous studies 40 years ago (Ford et al.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL SOYBEAN-ASSOCIATED VIRUSES IDENTIFIED BY HIGH-THROUGHPUT SEQUENCING BY TUBA YASMIN THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Crop Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Associate Professor Leslie L. Domier, adviser Associate Professor Kristopher N. Lambert Professor Glen L. Hartman ABSTRACT High-throughput sequencing of mRNA from soybean leaf samples collected from North Dakota and Illinois soybean fields revealed the presence of two novel soybean-associated viruses. The first virus has a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome consisting of 8,693 nt that contains two large open reading frames (ORFs). The predicted amino acid sequence of the first ORF showed similarity to structural proteins, of members of the invertebrate-infecting Dicistroviridae and the sequence of the second ORF which is a nonstructural proteins lack affinity to other virus sequences available in GenBank. The presence of separate ORFs for the structural and nonstructural proteins was similar to members of the family Dicistroviridae, but the order of the two ORFs in the new virus was opposite to that of the family Dicistroviridae. Because of the virus’ unique genome organization and the lack of strong phylogenetic association with previously described virus families, the soybean-associated virus may represent a novel virus family. The second virus also has a single stranded positive sense RNA genome, but has two genomic segments.

  • Data Sheet on Cherry Leaf Roll Nepovirus in Rubus
    EPPO quarantine pest Prepared by CABI and EPPO for the EU under Contract 90/399003 Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests Cherry leafroll nepovirus in Rubus IDENTITY Name: Cherry leaf roll nepovirus Taxonomic position: Viruses: Comoviridae: Nepovirus Common names: CLRV (acronym) No specific disease name is used for infections in Rubus EPPO computer code: CRLRRX EPPO A2 list: No. 148 EU Annex designation: II/A1 HOSTS CLRV occurs commonly in woody species throughout Europe, Russia and North America (Jones, 1985), but not in Rubus in the EPPO region. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION EPPO region: Widespread, but found in Rubus in only a few R. procerus plants in southern England (UK) (Cropley & Tomlinson, 1971; Ormerod, 1972, 1975). Also recently recorded in wild Rubus in Czech Republic (EPPO Reporting Service, 512/14; FAO, 1991). Recorded in Slovakia. Not found in R. idaeus. Oceania: Found in Rubus only in R. idaeus in New Zealand (Jones & Wood, 1978). Although few comparative tests have been done, the raspberry isolate seems to differ in in vitro properties from others that have been described. EU: Present. BIOLOGY Many strains in hosts other than Rubus are known (Jones, 1985); most of those from different natural host species are serologically distinguishable from each other (Jones & Murant, 1971; Jones, 1976). CLRV from R. procerus is serologically distinguishable from most other strains (Jones, 1976) but no tests have been made with an isolate from R. idaeus. Unlike many nepoviruses, CLRV appears not to be transmitted by soil-inhabiting nematodes (Jones et al., 1981) despite earlier claims (Fritzsche & Kegler, 1964; Flegg, 1969), nor is it common in naturally infected herbaceous species.
