由高粱花叶病毒和甘蔗花叶病毒引发的浙江甘蔗花叶病害

从浙江省5个地区采集表现花叶症状的甘蔗病叶,用马铃薯Y病毒科简并引物做PCR扩增及测序鉴定.序列分析表明,5个甘蔗样品均含有高粱花叶病毒(SrMV),其中3个样品中还存在甘蔗花叶病毒(SCMV)的复合侵染.序列比较和系统进化树分析表明,浙江甘蔗样品中的SrMV序列彼此很相似,核苷酸同源性大于93%,与已报道的4个美国分离物在CP区域同源性很高,但是3′非编码区的同源性却仅为70%左右.SCMV欧洲和中国玉米分离物及美国、南非和澳大利亚甘蔗分离物分别形成两个远缘群体,浙江甘蔗分离物群体位于两者之间;群体间CP氨基酸序列同源性均大于80%.甘蔗和玉米上的SCMV差异明显,多为无义突变.     

应用免疫电镜技术快速检测菜豆黄花叶病毒、马铃薯M病毒和燕麦花叶病毒

应用免疫吸附电流技术(ISEM)可有效地检测腐汁液中的菜豆黄花叶病毒(BYMV)、马铃薯M病毒(PVM)和燕麦花叶病毒(OMV)。BYMV,PVM和OMV三种抗血清的适宜工作浓度和对铜网的适宜包被时间均为1000倍和1小时,对同源病毒的适宜捕获时间分别为4℃下2、2和8小时。PVM和OMV的病汁液检测灵敏度均为稀释4000倍,而BYMV病汁液稀释16000倍时还能检测到少量病毒料子。ISEM捕获法和修饰法的结果表明,这三种病毒之间无血清学交叉反应。

Dielectric spectroscopy of Tobacco Mosaic Virus

The dielectric properties of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) have been measured using time domain dielectric spectroscopy (TDDS) in the temperature range from 1 to 40 degrees C. A single dielectric dispersion is observed in the MHz range. The activation energy of the process is found to be in the range 1-2 kcal/mol. The experimental data could not be completely accounted for by current theoretical models, but evidence indicates that the dielectric loss arises from polarisation of charge on and around the virus.

山东烟台小麦土传病毒病由小麦黄花叶病毒和土传小麦花叶病毒相关病毒复合侵染所致

在山东省烟台地区的小麦上发生一种由土壤中禾谷多粘菌Polymyxa graminis传播的病毒病,感病小麦植株表现矮化褪绿和花叶症状.我们于1997年4月从病区采集感病小麦植株,进行了病毒种类鉴定.直接电镜观察发现有二种病毒粒子,一种粒子呈棒状,占大多数,其长度约为300nm和150nm; 另一种粒子呈线状,数量较少,长度为500nm～700nm.免疫电镜结果表明,棒状病毒粒子仅与土传小麦花叶病毒(soil-borne wheat mosaic virus, SBWMV)抗血清反应,而不与小麦黄花叶病毒(wheat yellow mosaic virus,WYMV)抗血清和小麦梭条斑花叶病毒(wheat spindle streat mosaic virus,WSSMV)抗血清反应;反之,线状病毒仅与WYMV、WSSMV抗血清反应,而不与SBWMV抗血清反应.用WYMV和SBWMV两种抗血清同时进行修饰时,线状病毒粒子和棒状病毒粒子均发生反应.     

In Vitro Replication of Cowpea Mosaic Virus RNA III. Template Recognition by Cowpea Mosaic Virus RNA Replicase

Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) RNA replicase has been purified about 200-fold from CPMV-infected Vigna unguiculata leaves. Optimal reaction conditions for replicase activity have been established that allow RNA synthesis to proceed for at least 15 h. Using a polymerase assay under conditions optimal for CPMV RNA-directed RNA synthesis, all natural RNA species tested appeared to be able to direct the incorporation of labeled ribonucleotides, whereas synthetic homoribopolymers were either inactive or only slightly active. Using a nitrocellulose membrane filter assay to measure complex formation between the replicase preparation and various RNA species, all natural RNA species tested, except that of the comovirus radish mosaic virus, appeared to be unable to compete with ³²P-labeled CPMV RNA in binding to replicase. We propose that CPMV replicase is actually template specific but does not display this property in a polymerase assay, since labile complexes between heterologous templates and replicase become stabilized by the formation of phosphodiester bonds. From homoribopolymer competition binding experiments we conclude that the polyadenylic acid on the CPMV genome might be a part of the replicase binding site.     

A New Strain of Cucumber Mosaic Virus Causing Mosaic Disease of Muskmelon

The virus causing mosaic of muskmelon in the Punjab is transmitted through seed, sap and aphids but not through beetle, whitefly, fungi or contact. It systemically infected Nicotiana tabacum (var. “White Burley” and CTRI-Special), N. glutinosa, N. rustica and Capsicum annuum besides various cucurbit hosts when inoculated mechanically. The virus gave positive reaction with the antiserum of cucumber mosaic virus and the particles are spherical in shape. The virus has been identified as a distinct strain of cucumber mosaic virus and is designated as muskmelon strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-mst.).     

Properties of Johnsongrass Chlorotic Stripe Mosaic Virus

Physicochemical, biological, and cytopathological properties of Johnsongrass chlorotic stripe mosaic virus (JCSMV) found in Iran were investigated. Virus particles were polyhedral, showed a knobbed surface structure, were c. 30 nm in diameter and had a buoyant density of 1. 359 g/ml in cesium chloride. Virions contained one major protein with a molecular weight of 41 kd and a single species of ssRNA with a molecular weight of 1. 43 × 10⁶ d. Acid hydrolysis of the virus followed by thin-layer electrophoresis gave the following molar percentages of the bases: A: 23. 5, G: 27. 5, C: 26 and U: 23. Separation of nucleotides of the viral RNA using alkaline hydrolysis was not successful. Mechanical inoculation of freshly purified virus or isolated RNA failed to infect Johnsongrass or maize plants. The virus was readily detected by ELISA in seeds from infected plants and young seedlings raised from such seeds, but not in later stages of growth. Ultrathin sections of infected cells showed high concentrations of virus particles in the cytoplasm and vacuoles. Virus-like particles also occurred in the stroma of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) were often extremely inflated and filled by a fine fibrillar material. Small membrane-associated vesicles were frequently found in ER elements and occurred also in the permuclear space. Based on particle structure, properties of the nucleic acid, molecular weight of the coat protein and cytopathology, the virus resembles carmoviruses. However, lack of mechanical transmissibility is not known for any virus classified with this group. No serological reaction was detected with a total of 30 antisera to carmoviruses and other isometric viruses.
