木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒基因重组和缺失产生DNAβ相关的新型小分子

【目的】棉花曲叶病是棉花生产上的一种重要的病毒病害,在巴基斯坦和印度等国家地区大面积流行,造成严重的经济损失。近年在中国广西南宁的棉花田间发现了棉花曲叶病害,在广西的黄秋葵中也发生了曲叶病,二者的病原均为木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒(Cotton Leaf Curl Multan Virus,CLCuMV),为了对这2个病害有更深的了解,本文对该双生病毒伴随的DNA小分子进行测序分析。【方法】分别从广西南宁地区感染CLCuMV的3棵棉花和3棵黄秋葵中提取总DNA,用CLCuMV DNAβ的特异引物进行PCR扩增,将产物分离纯化并克隆测序,进行序列比对分析。【结果】从棉花曲叶病害中分离得到了1384 nt的新型重组DNA分子,以及从黄秋葵曲叶病害中分离得到了754 nt的新型缺失型DNA分子。研究结果表明1384 nt重组分子是由CLCuMV GX1的DNA-A和DNAβ重组而成。重组分子大部分来源于CLCuMV的DNA-A,包含基因间隔区,附近的部分AV2和AC1基因,以及反向互补的部分AC3基因。其余部分来源于伴随的DNAβ,包含A-rich区域。分析拼接片段的附近序列,发现接头部分含有2-3个共同碱基,推测为重组作用发生的位点。与以前报道的在实验室中产生的CLCuMV重组分子进行比较显示,DNA-A的基因间隔区和DNAβ的A-rich区在重组过程中非常保守。另外,754 nt的重组小分子是由CLCuMV Okra1 DNAβ缺失突变产生,缺失了大部分的编码C1蛋白开放阅读框(Open Reading Frame,ORF)以及小部分的A-rich区。【结论】本研究在自然条件下分离到了来源于CLCuMV和卫星DNAβ的重组分子,以及DNAβ缺陷型分子。这2种重组小分子以前未见报道,这也是在中国发现的棉花曲叶病毒中首次发现重组分子。这种基因组变异现象在棉花曲叶病毒的进化和寄主适应过程中可能有重要的意义。

入侵我国的木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒及其为害

棉花曲叶病是世界棉花生产上最具毁灭性的病毒病害,已在巴基斯坦、印度、苏丹、埃及和南非等国棉花产区广泛流行,造成巨大经济损失。目前,已克隆了与该病害相关的植物病毒8种,木尔坦棉花曲叶病毒（CLCuMV）即是其中之一,这些病毒均属双生病毒科菜豆金色花叶病毒属。CLCuMV是引起巴基斯坦、印度棉花曲叶病大流行的主要病原之一。该病毒由烟粉虱以持久方式传播,也可以嫁接传播,但不能通过机械摩擦接种传播和种子带毒传播;其基因组仅含有DNA-A组分,并伴随卫星β分子。自2006年首次在我国广东朱槿上检测与鉴定到该病毒以来,目前已在我国广东、广西和海南等多个地理区域发现该病毒引起的病害,受侵染寄主植物包括朱槿、黄秋葵、棉花和垂花悬铃花;同时,已入侵我国的CLCuMV及其卫星β分子的各地理区域和不同寄主来源的分离物DNA序列相似性均大于99％,遗传较稳定。基于文献报道及作者近年的研究,本文对棉花曲叶病的分布、病原、CLCuMV特性、已入侵我国的CLCuMV现状进行了较全面的综述,同时对入侵我国的CLCuMV来源及其威胁我国棉花生产的风险进行了讨论。CLCuMV＂对我国棉花等作物的威胁日益加剧,本研究可为该病毒的防控提供参考。

Host range, vector relationships and sequence comparison of a begomovirus infecting hibiscus in India

Hibiscus leaf curl disease (HLCuD) occurs widely in India. Infected hibiscus plants show vein thickening, upward curling of leaves and enations on the abaxial leaf surface, reduction in leaf size and stunting. The commonly‐occurring weeds (Ageratum conyzoides, Croton bonplandianum and Euphorbia geniculata), Nicotiana benthamiana, Nicotiana glutinosa and Nicotiana tabacum (var. Samsun, Xanthi), cotton and tomato were shown to be susceptible to HLCuD. One of the four species of hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa‐sinensis) and 75 of the 101 commercial hybrids/varieties grown in the Bangalore area of southern India were also susceptible. Two virus isolates associated with HLCuD from Bangalore, South India (Ban), and Bhubaneswar, North India (Bhu), were detected serologically and by PCR‐mediated amplification of virus genomes. The isolates were characterised by sequencing a fragment of DNA‐A component (1288 nucleotides) and an associated satellite DNA molecule of 682 nucleotides. Phylogenetic analyses of these DNA‐A sequences clustered them with Old World cotton‐infecting begomoviruses and closest to Cotton leaf curl Multan virus (CLCuMV) at 95–97% DNA‐A nucleotide identities. The 682‐nucleotide satellite DNA molecules associated with the HLCuD samples Ban and Bhu shared 96.9% sequence identity with each other and maximum identity (93.1–93.9% over positions 158–682) with ～1350‐nucleotide DNA‐β satellite molecules associated with cotton leaf curl disease in Pakistan and India (accession nos AJ298903, AJ316038). HLCuD in India, therefore, appears to be associated with strains of CLCuMV, a cotton‐infecting begomovirus from Pakistan, which is transmitted in a persistent manner by Bemisia tabaci.     

A modified viral satellite DNA that suppresses gene expression in plants

DNAbeta is a type of single-stranded (ss) circular satellite DNA found in association with monopartite-genome begomoviruses, such as Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus isolate Y10 (TYLCCNV-Y10). Y10 DNAbeta is required for symptom expression in plants but depends on TYLCCNV-Y10 genomic DNA (DNA-A) for replication and encapsidation. When we converted DNAbeta into a gene-silencing vector (modified DNAbeta (DNAmbeta)) by replacing its C1 open-reading frame (ORF) with a multiple cloning site (MCS), it was replicated but no longer induced symptoms in association with TYLCCNV-Y10 DNA-A, so allowing the effects of gene inserts to be recognized easily. Insertion into DNAmbeta of sequences from any of the three host genes (proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), phytoene desaturase (PDS), and sulfur (Su)), or from a transgene (green fluorescent protein (GFP)), resulted in silencing of the cognate gene in Nicotiana benthamiana. The silencing persisted for more than a month and was associated with decreased levels of mRNA of the gene targeted. Although DNAmbeta probably does not enter meristematic tissue, the PCNA gene could be silenced there. DNAmbeta was an effective silencing vector in tested N. glutinosa, N. tabacum Samsun (NN or nn), and Lycopersicon esculentum plants, and was able to silence two genes simultaneously. This satellite DNA vector-based form of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) promises to be applicable to other begomovirus/DNAbeta systems, which are recently reported to occur in several dicotyledonous crop species, thereby providing a powerful approach to gene discovery and the analysis of gene function in these crops.     

Mixed Infection of Two Begomoviruses in Malvastrum coromandelianum in Fujian, China

Virus isolates were obtained from three Malvastrum coromandelianum plants showing vein thickening symptoms in Fujian Province, China. A fragment of approximately 500 bp was amplified from all the samples by PCR using the special degenerate primer pair PA/PB for begomoviruses. Sequence differences among the partial DNA-A fragments revealed that all three samples contained two virus isolates. Isolate I and isolate II share the highest nucleotide sequence identity (98–99%), respectively, with Malvastrum leaf curl Guangdong virus (MLCuGdV) and Ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV). The complete nucleotide sequences of Fs1 and Fs2 isolates representing each virus were determined to be 2741 and 2756 nucleotides, respectively. Alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that the complete DNA-A sequences of Fs1 and Fs2 were most closely to those of MLCuGdV (AM503104) and AYVV (AB100305), with 90.4% and 93.3% nucleotide sequence identity, respectively. Fs1 and Fs2 are considered therefore to be isolates of MLCuGdV and AYVV, respectively. This is the first report of AYVV in M. coromandelianum.     

Molecular Characterization of a Distinct Begomovirus Infecting Euphorbia pulcherrima in China

Virus isolate G35 was obtained from Euphorbia pulcherrima showing leaf curl and vein thickening symptoms in Tianyang, Guangxi Province, China. The virus was transmitted by whiteflies to Nicotiana tabacum, Lycopersicon esculentum, Datura stramonium and E. pulcherrima. DNA‐A contains 2746 nucleotides, with two open reading frames (ORFs) in the virion‐sense DNA and four ORFs in the complementary‐sense DNA. When compared with the DNA‐A sequence of other begomoviruses, the total DNA‐A of isolate G35 was most closely related to that of Ageratum enation virus (79.9% sequence identity). However, the deduced coat protein of G35 is most like that of Pepper leaf curl virus from Bangladesh (94.9% amino acid sequence identity), and the AC1 of G35 is most like that of Cotton leaf curl Multan virus‐Okra (87.2% amino acid sequence identity). The molecular data showed that G35 is a distinct Begomovirus species, for which the name Euphorbia leaf curl virus (ELCV) is proposed.     

Molecular characterizations of two begomoviruses infecting Vinca rosea and Raphanus sativus in India

Dear Editor Samples of Vinca rosea and Raphanus sativus leaves showing typical leaf curling were collected from gardens and fields of Bhatinda,Punjab (India).An expected product of ～550 bp in size was amplified from total DNA extracts of symptomatic leaf samples with universal primers on the coat protein region of begomoviral DNA-A component.Moreover,DNA β were also detected in both V.rosea and R.sativus using β satellite universal primers.This is the first report of a β satellite associated with V.rosea in India.The presence of begomoviruses was also confirmed by Southern blot analysis using cloned DNA-A probe of Papaya leaf curl virus.Sequence analysis of viruses infecting V.rosea (Vinca yellow vein virus) and R.sativus (Raphanus sativus leaf curl Bhatinda virus) showed 74％ and 84％ nucleotide sequence identity with Papaya leaf curl virus,respectively.
