杭州地区发生的玉米花叶病由甘蔗花叶病毒引起

从杭州地区呈现玉米矮花叶典型症状的玉米病组织中提纯得到大量线状病毒粒子,大多数长度为750?nm。病组织中含有大量风轮状内含体和板状集结体。病毒外壳蛋白为33.6 kD。病毒RNA13’端序列(1.8 kb)与甘蔗花叶病毒(SCMV)同源性最高,达71.5%～99.1%,与高梁花叶病毒(SrMV)同源性次之,为67.8%～68.5%,与玉米矮花叶病毒(MDMV)同源性最低,仅为38.4%～48.4%,从而初步认为此病害由SCMV引起。根据已发表的SCMV外壳蛋白氨基酸序列作亲缘性分析,表明SCMV可分为美国、南非、澳大利亚;德国和中国三大类。

Fine mapping of Rscmv2, a major gene for resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus in maize

Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is one of the most devastating virus diseases in maize. In our previous study, two dominant complementary genes, Rscmv1 and Rscmv2, were identified in the resistant inbred line Siyi to confer resistance against SCMV. In this study, we report on the fine mapping of Rscmv2 and prediction of candidate genes. We developed a near-isogenic mapping population comprising 9,856 individuals segregating at Rscmv2, but not the Rscmv1 region. Combining the screening of the recombinants in the Rscmv2 region with 16 newly developed molecular markers, we fine-mapped Rscmv2 to an interval of 196.5?kb. Two overlapping bacterial artificial chromosomes covering this region were analyzed to identify putative candidate genes. Two predicted genes, encoding an auxin-binding protein and a Rho GTPase-activating protein, respectively, can be suggested as candidate genes for Rscmv2. The information from fine-mapping Rscmv2 can contribute to map-based cloning of this gene and molecular-assisted breeding in maize resistance breeding programs.     

Genetic basis of resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus in European maize germplasm

 Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) causes considerable damage to maize (Zea mays L.) in Europe. The objective of the present study was to determine the genetic basis of resistance to SCMV in European maize germplasm and to compare it with that of U.S. inbred Pa405. Three resistant European inbreds D21, D32, and FAP1360A were crossed with four susceptible inbreds F7, KW1292, D408, and D145 to produce four F₂ populations and three backcrosses to the susceptible parent. Screening for SCMV resistance in parental inbreds and segregating generations was done in two field trials as well as under greenhouse conditions. RFLP markers umc85, bnl6.29, umc10, umc44, and SSR marker phi075 were used in F₂ populations or F₃ lines to locate the resistance gene(s) in the maize genome. Segregation in the F₂ and backcross generations fitted to different gene models depending on the environmental conditions and the genotype of the susceptible parent. In the field tests, resistance in the three resistant European inbreds seems to be controlled by two to three genes. Under greenhouse conditions, susceptibility to SCMV in D32 appears to be governed by one dominant and one recessive gene. Allelism tests indicated the presence of a common dominant gene (denoted as Scm1) in all three resistant European inbreds and Pa405. Marker analyses mapped two dominant genes: Scm1 on chromosome 6S and Scm2 on chromosome 3. Received: 17 November 1997 / Accepted: 25 November 1997     

Development of RGA-CAPS markers and genetic mapping of candidate genes for sugarcane mosaic virus resistance in maize

Three previously published resistance gene analogues (RGAs), pic13, pic21 and pic19, were mapped in relation to sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) resistance genes ( Scmv1, Scmv2) in maize. We cloned these RGAs from six inbreds including three SCMV-resistant lines (D21, D32, FAP1360A) and three SCMV-susceptible lines (D145, D408, F7). Pairwise sequence alignments among the six inbreds revealed a frequency of one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) per 33 bp for the three RGAs, indicating a high degree of polymorphism and a high probability of success in converting RGAs into codominant cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers compared to other sequences. SNPs were used to develop CAPS markers for mapping of the three RGAs in relation to Scmv1 (chromosome 6) and Scmv2 (chromosome 3), and for pedigree analyses of resistant inbred lines. By genetic mapping pic21 was shown to be different from Scmv2, whereas pic19 and pic13 are still candidates for Scmv1 and Scmv2, respectively, due to genetic mapping and consistent restriction patterns of ancestral lines.     

High-resolution mapping of loci conferring resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus in maize using RFLP, SSR, and AFLP markers

Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is one of the most important virus diseases of maize in Europe. Genetic analysis on backcross five (BC5) progeny derived from the cross FAP1360A (resistant) × F7 (susceptible) confirmed that at least two dominant genes, Scm1 and Scm2, are required for resistance to SCMV in the progeny of this cross. With the aid of RFLP and SSR marker analyses, Scm1 was mapped in the region of 8.7 cM – between the nucleolus organizer region (nor) and RFLP marker bnl6.29 on the short arm of chromosome 6, while Scm2 was mapped to an interval of 26.8 cM flanked by the RFLP markers umc92 and umc102 near the centromere region of chromosome 3. Both chromosome regions were further enriched for AFLP markers by successful application of a bulked segregant analysis to this oligogenic trait. A total of 23 linked AFLP markers were identified, clustered in chromosome regions adjacent to either Scm1 or Scm2. Seven AFLP markers linked to Scm1 resided within the nor-bnl6.29 interval, and one of them, E3M8-1, showed no recombination with Scm1. Three AFLP markers linked to Scm2 are located between umc92 and umc102. Received: 13 October 1998 / Accepted: 18 January 1999     

QTL mapping of resistance to Sporisorium reiliana in maize

We mapped and characterized quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to Sporisorium reiliana. A population of 220 F₃ families produced from the cross of two European elite inbreds (D32, D145) was evaluated with two replications at a French location with high natural incidence of S. reiliana and at a Chinese location employing artificial inoculation. The 220 F₃ families were genotyped with 87 RFLP and seven SSR markers. Using composite interval mapping, we identified two different sets of 3 and 8 QTL for the French and the Chinese locations explaining 13% and 44% of respectively. Individual QTL explained up to 14% of σ^² _p. The 11 QTL mapped to eight maize chromosomes and displayed mostly additive or partial dominant gene action. Significant digenic epistatic interactions were detected for one pair of these QTL. Only a few QTL for S. reiliana were in common with QTL for resistance to Ustilago maydis and Puccinia sorghi, identified at a German location for the same population. Consequently, in our materials resistance to these three fungal pathogens of maize seems to be inherited independently. Received: 14. December 1998 / Accepted: 30 January 1999     

Molecular mapping of a major gene conferring resistance to maize mosaic virus

 The objective of this study was to determine the genetic basis of resistance to maize mosaic virus (MMV). Molecular markers were used to map resistance loci to MMV in a set of 91 maize (Zea mays L.) recombinant inbred lines (RILs), derived from the cross between Hi31 (a B68 conversion resistant to MMV) and Kil4 (a Thai inbred susceptible to MMV). The RILs were evaluated for MMV resistance in disease nurseries in Hawaii in the winter of 1993 and the summer of 1994. Twenty-eight highly susceptible RILs were chosen for gene mapping using the pooled-sampling approach. Initial evidence from the pooled DNA indicated that restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) probes on chromosome 3 near the centromere were biased to the susceptible parent allele. Analysis of 91 RILs at 103 RFLP loci confirmed the presence of a major MMV resistance gene on chromosome 3. The resistant allele at this locus, previously named Mv1, is present in the resistant parent Hi31 and traces back to the Argentine parent used in conferring common rust resistance to B68. We conclude that resistance to MMV in B68 and Caribbean flints involves a major gene mv1 on chromosome 3 located between RFLP markers umc102 and php20508.

QTL mapping for resistance of maize to grey leaf spot

Grey leaf spot (GLS) is a global maize leaf disease that seriously endangers maize production. Discovering and utilizing genetic loci for GLS resistance would be useful for breeding new varieties with improved resistance. In this study, 233 F_2:3 families (produced from the susceptible inbred line 08‐641 × the resistant inbred line 446) were used for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping of resistance to GLS. Five GLS resistance QTLs were detected on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, which explained 6.7%‐21.3% of the phenotypic variation. The QTLs, qRgls.CH‐4, qRgls.CH‐1, qRgls.CH‐2, and qRgls.CH‐6, were stably expressed in the four environments, and all loci for GLS resistance were derived from the resistant parent, 446. The additive effects of qRgls.CH‐4, qRgls.CH‐1, and qRgls.CH‐6 were significantly greater than their single dominant effects, which may be beneficial for GLS resistance breeding. The QTL qRgls.CH‐6, located in bins 6.02–6.05, did not overlap with any previously reported resistance QTL and thus was identified here for the first time. QTL analysis of PI (leaf performance index) detected three leaf function QTLs on chromosomes 4, 8, and 9 were related to GLS resistance and explained 4.8%‐6.2% of the phenotypic variation. Among them, qPI.CH‐4 was significantly stronger expressed in several environments; this allele associated with increased leaf function came from the resistant parent, 446, and its interval overlapped with that of qRgls.CH‐4. Furthermore, both qRgls.CH‐4 and qPI.CH‐4 were located in a hotspot area for GLS resistance in bins 4.05‐4.06, indicating that GLS resistance was significantly related to leaf performance and that GLS significantly reduced leaf photosynthetic performance.     

RNA interference-mediated resistance to maize dwarf mosaic virus

Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) is a widespread pathogen that causes serious yield loss to maize crops. A hairpin RNA expression vector was constructed herein to overcome the low efficiency of cultural protection against MDMV and to improve the MDMV resistance mediated by a shorter transgenic inverted-repeat sequence. This expression vector contained a 451 bp inverted-repeat sequence, homologous to the protease gene (P1) of MDMV. It was used for the Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of maize calli induced from a susceptible inbred line. A total of 17 T₂ transgenic lines were identified by both specific PCR amplification and Southern blot hybridization. Of these lines, 15 were evaluated for MDMV resistance in inoculation field trials under two environments. The relative replication levels of the P1 gene were analyzed by quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR. Results demonstrated that all of the 15 T₂ lines showed an enhanced resistance to MDMV in comparison with that of the non-transformed parent line. Six lines were deemed to be ‘resistant’ with an average disease index below 25 %, which was not significantly different from that of the resistant control. The relative replication levels of the virus gene were significantly reduced in these resistant T₂ transgenic lines. The efficiency of virus gene silencing was directly related to the transgene copy numbers presented in these transgenic lines.     

The complete sequence of a sugarcane mosaic virus isolate causing maize dwarf mosaic disease in China

The complete sequence of a potyvirus from maize in Zhejiang Province was determined. The RNA was 9596 nucleotides long, excluding the 3'-poly (A) tail, and there was a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 9192 nts encoding a 346.1 ku polyprotein. The polyprotein had substantial amino acid sequence homology with those encoded by the RNAs of a Chinese isolate of sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV-C) and a Bulgarian isolate of maize dwarf mosaic virus, but it was most closely related to sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) isolates, for which only partial sequences have been published. According to the published criteria for distinguishing potyviruses, the sequence reported here is clearly a strain of SCMV, but it also showed a surprisingly high amino acid homology with SrMV-C in the HC-Pro, P3 and Cl proteins.
