Development of multiplex RT-PCR assay for simultaneous detection of four viruses infecting apple (Malus domestica)

The major viruses infecting apple cultivars throughout the world including India are apple mosaic virus (ApMV), apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), and recently, a new virus, apple necrotic mosaic virus (ApNMV), was reported from mosaic-infected apple cultivars in India. The aim of this study was to detect the ApNMV virus along with the other three viruses (ApMV, ASPV and ASGV) simultaneously by multiplex RT-PCR. Four primer-pair-produced amplicons of 670, 550, 350 and 210 bp corresponding to ApNMV, ApMV, ASPV and ASGV, respectively, were found to be specific for these viruses when tested individually. The annealing temperature (55°C), primer concentration (0·8 µl) and other components of the master mix were standardized for the development of one-step m-RT-PCR assay. The m-RT-PCR protocol developed was further validated with 30 samples from seven symptomatic or asymptomatic apple cultivars, which revealed the presence of more than one virus in these cultivars. Most of the viruses were found to be present either alone or in mixed infection; however, ASPV was more common in tested cultivars. An easy, cost-effective and rapid multiplex RT-RCR protocol was developed to detect the four viruses, which infect apple plants either in individually or together in the field. This assay will help in the surveying and indexing of apple germplasm and the distribution of all four viruses in the apple growing regions of India.     

Detection and Molecular Variability of Apple Stem Grooving Virus in Shaanxi,China

Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) is one of the economically important latent viruses that are distributed in apple production areas worldwide. The presence of ASGV in apple trees was studied by serological assay and molecular biology methods. A total of 550 apple leaf samples from 14 different areas in Shaanxi were tested by DAS‐ELISA, and the results revealed an ASGV infection level of 55%. Those samples were also examined by RT‐PCR, and an infection level of 67% was found. Fourteen complete coat protein gene sequences of ASGV were obtained; phylogenetic analysis revealed that these 14 sequences separated into two clusters regardless of the geographic origin or host plants. To our knowledge, this is the first report of molecular variability analysis of ASGV in apple trees in China.     

Analysis of the Coat Protein Gene of Indian Strain of Apple Stem Grooving Virus

A survey was undertaken in the temperate fruit growing regions of Himachal Pradesh (HP) and Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), a Capillovirus, was detected in different cultivars of apple, nectarines, plum, cherry, quince and apricot by double antibody sandwich ELISA (DAS-ELISA). The coat protein (CP) gene sequence of an amplicon produced by RT-PCR, confirmed the association of ASGV in apple cultivar Starkrimson, collected from Himachal Pradesh. The CP of Indian ASGV isolate shared 100 % sequence identity with a Brazilian isolate (AF438409). Sequence analysis by Recombination Detection Program (RDP2) indicated no recombination event for the Indian isolate. However, recombination was detected in Chinese, Korean and Citrus tatter leaf virus-Taiwan (CTLV) strains of ASGV. The study describes first report of ASGV infection in India and characterization of its CP gene.     

Elimination of apple stem grooving virus by chemotherapy and development of an immunocapture RT-PCR for rapid sensitive screening

Ombuin (7,4′-dimethyl quercetin) (10 μg ml^-1, for 12 wk), glycyrrhizin/quercetin (80 μg ml^-1and 10 μg ml^-1respectively, for 18 wk), ribavirin (10 μg ml^-1, for 12 wk) and quercetin/ribavirin (10 μg ml^-1each, for 9–12 wk) reduced the titre of apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) when applied in vitro to infected tissue cultures of Nicotiana occidentalis obliqua Wheeler, and/or Malus domestica. ASGV was not detectable in both plant species after the quercitin/ribavirin treatment when tested by ISEM, herbaceous host indexing, RT-PCR, and immunocapture RT-PCR. A sensitive immunocapture RT-PCR procedure for the detection of ASGV was developed for the screening of treated samples to assess antiviral activity.     

Nucleotide sequences of a Korean isolate of apple stem grooving virus associated with black necrotic leaf spot disease on pear (Pyrus pyrifolia)

Pear black necrotic leaf spot (PBNLS) is a disease of pears caused by capillovirus-like particles, which can be observed under the electron microscope. The disease was analyzed by Western blot analysis with antisera raised against apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) coat protein. cDNAs covering the entire genome were synthesized by RT-PCR and RACE using RNA isolated from Chenopodium quinoa infected with sap extracted from pear leaves carrying black necrotic spot disease. The complete genome sequence of the putative pear virus, 6497 nucleotides in length excluding the poly (A) tail, was determined and analyzed. It contains two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1, spans from nucleotide position 37 to 6354, producing a putative protein of 241 kDa. ORF2, which is in a different reading frame within ORF1, begins at nucleotide 4788 and terminates at 5750, and produces a putative protein of 36 kDa. The 241 kDa protein contains sequences related to the NTP-binding motifs of helicases and RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. The 36-kDa protein contains the consensus sequence GDSG found in the active sites of several cellular and viral serine proteases. Morphological and serological analysis, and sequence comparison between the putative pear virus, ASGV, citrus tatter leaf virus and cherry virus A of the capillovirus suggest that PBNLS may be caused by a Korean isolate of ASGV.     

Shoot tip culture and cryopreservation for eradication of Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) and Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) from apple rootstocks ‘M9’ and ‘M26’

This study attempted to eradicate Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) and Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) from virus‐infected in vitro shoots of apple rootstocks ‘M9’ and ‘M26’ using shoot tip culture and cryopreservation. In shoot tip culture, shoot tips (0.2 mm in length) containing two leaf primordia failed to show shoot regrowth. Although shoot regrowth rate was the highest in the largest shoot tips (1.0 mm in length) containing four leaf primordia, none of the regenerated shoots was virus‐free. Shoot tips (0.5 mm in length) containing two and three leaf primordia produced 100% and 10% of ASPV‐free shoots, respectively, while those (1.0 mm) containing four leaf primordia were not able to eradicate ASPV. ASGV could not be eradicated by shoot tip culture, regardless of the size of the shoot tips tested. In cryopreservation, shoot tips (0.5 mm in length) containing two leaf primordia did not resume shoot growth. Although 1.0‐mm and 1.5‐mm shoot tips gave similarly high ASPV‐free frequencies, the latter had much higher shoot regrowth rate than the former. Very similar results of shoot regrowth and virus eradication by shoot tip culture and cryopreservation were observed in both ‘M9’ and ‘M26’. Histological observations showed that only cells in upper part of apical dome and in leaf primordia 1–3 survived, while other cells were damaged or killed, in shoot tips following cryopreservation. Virus immunolocalization found ASPV was not detected in upper part of apical dome and leaf primordia 1 and 2, but was present in lower part of apical dome, and in leaf primordium 4 and more developed tissues in all samples tested. ASPV was also detected in leaf primordium 3 in about 16.7% and 13.3% samples tested in ‘M9’ and ‘M26’. ASGV was observed in apical dome and leaf primordia 1–6, leaving only a few top layers of cells in apical dome free of the virus. Different abilities of ASPV and ASGV to invade leaf petioles and shoot tips were also noted.     

Occurrence and Diversity of Pome Fruit Viruses in Apple and Pear Orchards in Latvia

Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and Apple mosaic virus are economically important viruses infecting fruit tree species worldwide. To evaluate the occurrence of these pome fruit viruses in Latvia, a large‐scale survey was carried out in 2007. Collected samples were tested for infection by DAS ELISA and multiplex RT‐PCR. The accuracy of the detection of the viruses in multiplex RT‐PCR was confirmed by sequencing amplified PCR fragments. The results showed a wide occurrence of viruses in apple and pear commercial orchards established from non‐tested planting material. More than 89% of the tested apple trees and more than 60% of pear trees were infected with one or more pome fruit viruses. Analyses showed that the high occurrence of viruses in several apple cultivars is due to the propagation of infected clonal rootstocks and scions from infected mother trees. Sequence analyses targeting the 3′‐terminal region of the tested viruses showed various degrees of genetic diversity within respective virus isolates. This is the first report of the occurrence of ACLSV, ASGV and ASPV in apple and pear trees in Latvia and demonstrates their genetic diversity in different host genotypes.
