Photosynthesis in Sugarcane Varieties Infected with Strains of Sugarcane Mosaic Virus

Symptoms of sugarcane mosaic virus disease caused by strains B and D were accompanied by a reduction in the rate of photosynthesis per unit area; the severe symptoms of strain A and the mild symptoms of strain I produced rates no different from those of healthy plants of variety C.P. 31-588. All four strains decreased chlorophyll content and increased the amount of light transmitted by the leaf. Photosynthetic rates were reduced less than the reduction of chlorophyll would indicate. Symptoms moderated on older leaves, but rates of photosynthesis per dm² were less in older leaves of both healthy and diseased plants. Sugarcane varieties differed in their rates of photosynthesis in both healthy and in virus-infected plants; a significant reduction in photosynthetic rate by sugarcane mosaic occurred in three of the four varieties.     

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.     

Purification and Properties of the Geminivirus Euphorbia Mosaic Virus

Euphorbia mosaic virus was purified from infected plants of Nicotiana benthamiana. Highest concentrations of virus particles were found in infected plant tissue between 10–12 days after inoculation. The enzyme driselase assisted in purification of the virus particles from the infected tissue yielding about 600 μg/kg of plant material. Purified preparations showed a maximum absorption at 260–263 nm and the ratio of absorption at 260 and 280 nm was 1.4. The viral nucleic acid was digestedby DNase I and S₁ Nuclease but not RNase A. A single coat protein with a MW of 32,000 d and two DNA bands with a MW 0.96 × 10⁶ d (2870 nucleotides) and 0.90 × 10⁶ d (2700 nucleotides) were associated with the purified virus particles. Virus specific DNA was isolated from infected tissue between 7 and 15 days after inoculations.     

Biological and Serological Properties of Strains of Barley Mild Mosaic Virus

The biological and serological properties of two Japanese barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV) strains (BaMMV-Kal and BaMMV-Nal) and a German BaMMV strain (BaMMV-M) were compared. Mechanical inoculation experiments showed that these three strains differed from one another in their ability to infect specific barley cultivars. BaMMV-Kal and BaMMV-M caused similar symptoms, but BaMMV-Nal clearly differed from them in its symptoms on some barley cultivars. The three BaMMV strains efficiently infected barley plants at 15°C, whereas at 20°C BaMMV-Kal and BaMMV-M also infected many plants but BaMMV-Nal infected only a few. BaMMV-Kal and BaMMV-M were indistinguishable by ELISA, while BaMMV-Nal was distinguished from both. The biological and serological variability reported shows that BaMMV occurs as two distinct strains in Japan.

Nematode Interactions with Weeds and Sugarcane Mosaic Virus in Louisiana Sugarcane

Weeds did not appear to serve as reservoirs for phytophagous Louisiana sugarcane nematode populations except for Criconemella spp., Meloidogyne spp., Tylenchorhynchus annulatus, and total phytophagous nematode densities were lower on weed-stressed cane and were accompanied by reduced accumulations of free cysteine, proline, and 13 other free amino acids in sugarcane. A significant weed-virus interaction for sugarcane free cysteine accumulation was detected; T. annulatus populations were highly correlated (r = 0.59, P ≤ 0.001) with the weed-induced and virus-induced changes in free cysteine. Sugarcane nematodes interacted differently with the weed and virus stresses and changes in host plant stress-related free amino acid concentrations.     

Purification and Characterization of Indian Cassava Mosaic Virus

The Indian cassava mosaic virus (ICMV) was transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci and sap inoculation. ICMV was purified from cassava and from systemically infected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Geminate particles of 16–18 × 30 nm in size were observed by electron microscopy. The particles contained a single major protein of an estimated molecular weight of 34,000. Specific antiserum trapped geminate particles from the extracts of infected cassava and N. benthamiana plants in ISEM test. The virus was detected in crude extracts of infected cassava, ceara rubber, TV. benthamiana and N. tabacum cv. Jayasri plants by ELISA. ICMV appeared serologically related to the gemini viruses of Acalypha yellow mosaic, bhendi yellow vein mosaic, Croton yellow vein mosaic, Dolichos yellow mosaic, horsegram yellow mosaic, Malvastrum yellow vein mosaic and tobacco leaf curl.     

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750nm。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33.6kD。病毒RNA1 3'端序列（1.8kb）与甘蔗茶花经叶病毒（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）同泊性最低,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。

甘蔗条纹花叶病毒P3蛋白与甘蔗Rubisco大亚基互作的研究

该研究以甘蔗条纹花叶病毒(Sugarcane streak mosaic virus,SCSMV)的P3蛋白(SCSMV-P3)为诱饵,采用酵母双杂交技术(yeast two-hybrid system,Y2HS)从甘蔗酵母文库中筛选到1个编码核酮糖-1,5-二磷酸羧化酶/加氧酶(ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase,Rubisco)大亚基的基因,命名为ScRbcL。序列分析表明,该基因开放读码框(open reading frame,ORF)长度为1 337bp,编码478个氨基酸残基。Y2HS和双分子荧光互补(bimolecular flourescence complementation,BiFC)实验表明,ScRbcL与SCSMV-P3存在互作关系。研究认为SCSMV-P3与ScRbcL的互作可能是SCSMV侵染甘蔗导致花叶症状发生的分子基础。
