  • Nucleotide Sequence and Phylogenetic Analysis of a Bamboo Mosaic Potexvirus Isolate from Common Bamboo (Bambusa Vulgaris Mcclure)

(1997) sequence 38: 77-84 of BaMV-V RNA 77 Nucleotide sequence and phylogenetic analysis of a bamboo mosaic potexvirus isolate from common bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris McClure) Chi-Chen Yang1,2, Jih-Shiou Liu1, Chan-Pin Lin2 and Na-Sheng Lin1,3 1Institute of Botany, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan 115, Republic of China 2Department of Plant Pathology and Entomology, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China (Received September 20, 1996; Accepted January 30, 1997) Abstract. The complete cDNA sequence corresponding to the genomic RNA of an isolate bamboo mosaic potexvirus (BaMV-V) from common bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris McClure) was determined. This isolate is the first potexvirus with which a satellite RNA has been associated. The genome organization of BaMV-V, similar to those of other potexviruses, contained five open reading frames (ORFs 15) coding for polypeptides with molecular weight of 156 kDa, 28 kDa, 13 kDa, 6 kDa, and 25 kDa, respectively. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed a 10.0% difference from the BaMV-O isolate previously described whereas the amino acid comparison showed a difference of 3.2%. When three conservative domains of RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) were used for phylogenetic analysis, the greatest variation between two strains of each virus was only 12.8% of that between the two closest members of the potexvirus group. The grouping of potexviruses distinct from other groups of plant viruses was also confirmed by a comparision of three conservative motifs of RdRp.

These viruses have all positive-sense single-stranded RNA genomes that consist of two to five RNA components. Three species of plasmodiophorids are recognized as vectors: Polymyxa graminis, P. betae, and Spongospora subterranea. The viruses can survive in soil within the long-lived resting spores of the vector. There are biological and genetic variations in both virus and vector species. Many of the viruses have become the causal agents of important diseases in major crops, such as rice, wheat, barley, rye, sugar beet, potato, and groundnut. Control measure is dependent on the development of the resistant cultivars. During the last half a century, several virus diseases have been rapidly spread and distributed worldwide. For the six major virus diseases, their geographical distribution, diversity, and genetic resistance are addressed.

  • The Development and Characterisation of Grapevine Virus-Based
    The development and characterisation of grapevine virus-based expression vectors by Jacques du Preez Presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy at the Department of Genetics, Stellenbosch University March 2010 Supervisors: Prof JT Burger and Dr DE Goszczynski Study leader: Dr D Stephan Declaration I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. ______________________ Date: _______________ Jacques du Preez Copyright © 2010 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Abstract Grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) is a very important agricultural commodity that needs to be protected. To achieve this several in vivo tools are needed for the study of this crop and the pathogens that infect it. Recently the grapevine genome has been sequenced and the next important step will be gene annotation and function using these in vivo tools. In this study the use of Grapevine virus A (GVA), genus Vitivirus , family Flexiviridae , as transient expression and VIGS vector for heterologous protein expression and functional genomics in Nicotiana benthamiana and V . vinifera were evaluated. Full-length genomic sequences of three South African variants of the virus (GTR11, GTG111 and GTR12) were generated and used in a molecular sequence comparison study. Results confirmed the separation of GVA variants into three groups, with group III (mild variants) being the most distantly related. It showed the high molecular heterogeneity of the virus and that ORF 2 was the most diverse. The GVA variants GTG111, GTR12 and GTR11 were placed in molecular groups I, II and III respectively.

  • Progress and Prospects of Studies on Polymyxa Graminis and Its Transmitted Cereal Viruses in China＊
    PROGRESS IN NATURAL SCIENCE V ol .15 , No .6 , June 2005 REVIEW ARTICLE Progress and prospects of studies on Polymyxa graminis and its transmitted cereal viruses in China＊ CH EN Jianping ＊＊ (Virology and Biotechnology Institute , Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Key Laboratory of Plant Virology , Ministry of Agri- culture and Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou 310021, China) Received October 8 , 2004 ;revised October 25 , 2004 Abstract Polymyxa gram inis is a eukaryotic obligate biotrophic parasite of plant roots that belongs to a poorly studied discrete taxonomic unit informally called “ plasmodiophorids” .P .graminis is nonpathogenic , but has the ability to acquire and transmit nine plant viruses w hich belong to genera Bymovirus and Furovirus and cause serious diseases in cereal crop speciesand also result in significant yield reductions in China and elsew here.Genus Bymovirus contains barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV), barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV), w heat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV), w heat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSS MV), and oat mosaic virus (OMV), and genus F urovirus contains soil-borne w heat mosaic virus(S BW MV), oat golden stripe virus(OGSV), and new ly identified Chinese w heat mosaic virus(CWM V)and soil-borne cereal mosaic virus(S BCMV).All these viruses have been sequenced and their w orldw ide distribu- tions have been studied .The viruses are protected by the environment w ithin P .gra minis resting spores that may remain dormant but vi- able for decades(probably until a suitable host plant is encountered).S pontaneous deletion mutants of S BW MV , OGS V and OMV are de- tected , and these deletion mutants are not transmissible by the fungus.The persistent, soil-borne nature of these diseases makes the use of virus-resistant crop varieties cu rren tly the only practical and environmentally friendly means to control them , and a large number of disease resistant germ plasms have been screened .
