The agent of raspberry yellows disease is transmitted by grafting but not by aphids and is resistant to thermotherapy. Further studies showed that it is transmitted by inoculation of sap through seed; it is probably transmitted to plants by pollination. Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) shares all these attributes and is known to infect all yellows-sensitive raspberry cultivars except Puyallup and Sumner; however, neither of these cultivars has been tested by graft inoculation with RBDV. RBDV commonly infects plants symptomiessly, even those of yellows-sensitive cultivars, but it induced yellows when inoculated either manually to Norfolk Giant raspberry or by grafting to a yellows-sensitive raspberry selection. The evidence suggests that RBDV is the causal agent of yellows disease but that symptom expression is greatiy dependent on genetic and environmental factors. Many red raspberry cultivars are resistant, probably immune, to the type culture of RBDV and this character was shown to be conferred by a single dominant gene designated Bu. 相似文献

RASPBERRY YELLOW DWARF, A SOIL-BORNE VIRUS 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
B. D. HARRISON 《The Annals of applied biology》1958,46(2):221-229
An apparently undescribed virus, provisionally named raspberry yellow dwarf virus (RYDV), was isolated from naturally infected raspberry, strawberry, blackberry and several weed species by mechanical inoculation of sap to Chenopodium amaranticolor. The severe disease it caused in Malling Exploit raspberry usually occurred patchily in otherwise normal plantations: these patches increased in size from year to year. RYDV was differentiated from raspberry ringspot and tomato black ring viruses by the symptoms produced in C. amaranticolor , tobacco and Petunia hybrida. RYDV lost infectivity when sap was heated for 10 min. at 61° C., diluted 10-5 or kept for 15 days at 18° C. RYDV was precipitated without inactivation by acetone and by ammonium sulphate.
Isolates of RYDV from different plants and localities, and of different virulence, were identified by plant-protection and serological tests. Such tests gave no evidence that RYDV was related to raspberry ringspot, tobacco ringspot, tomato black ring or cucumber mosaic viruses.
Raspberry and sugar-beet plants became systemically infected with RYDV when grown under glass in soil from a field where the disease had occurred in raspberry plants, and where the virus persisted in the soil for 3 years after the raspberry plants were removed. RYDV seems to be widely disseminated in England but recently introduced and rare in eastern Scotland.
Like raspberry ringspot and tomato black ring viruses, RYDV causes symptoms of the ringspot type in tobacco, has a wide natural and experimental host range, is soil-borne and of local importance. Such features seem characteristic of ringspot viruses as a group. 相似文献

Three diseases characterized by vein chlorosis of varying grades of severity are shown to be graft transmissible to a wide range of raspberry varieties. The diseases are thought to be caused by related strains of a virus transmissible by Doralis (Aphis) idaei V. d. G. and rarely, if at all, by Amphorophora rubi Kalt. It is proposed to refer to the diseases and viruses respectively as mild, moderate and severe vein chlorosis. 相似文献

Lethal or chronic diseases of the raspberry caused by the nematodeborne viruses raspberry ringspot, arabis mosaic and tomato black ring can cause serious reductions in the productivity of raspberry plantations, but the existence of clear-cut immunities from these diseases provides a basis for control through plant breeding. The inheritance of these immunities was studied by means of graft tests on families of raspberry seedlings. Immunity from each virus was found to be dominant to susceptibility, but there was evidence that more than one gene was concerned in each case: while it was not possible to decide whether the second gene was a dominant complementary or a linked recessive affecting the viability of the immune segregates, the frequent occurrence in the raspberry of aberrant segregation ratios due to such lethal genes makes the latter explanation the more probable. There was also evidence of linkage between the genes for the three immunities. The experiment confirmed the practicability of breeding to incorporate genes for immunities from these three viruses into new raspberry varieties. 相似文献

Six blackberry or hybrid berry cultivars and 19 raspberry cultivars were assessed for their infectibility with, and sensitivity to, graft inoculation with 10 distinct viruses found infecting Rubus in the UK. Cultivars were grafted with each of, two isolates of the pollen borne raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV), five aphid borne viruses: black raspberry necrosis, raspberry leaf mottle (RLMV), raspberry leaf spot (RLSV), rubus yellow net and raspberry vein chlorosis (RVCV); and isolates of the nematode transmitted nepoviruses, arabis mosaic, raspberry ringspot, strawberry latent ringspot and tomato black ring. All tested cultivars were infectible with a resistance breaking isolate of RBDV but only about half of that number with the Scottish type isolate of the virus. The raspberry cvs Autumn Bliss, and occasionally Glen Garry and Glen Prosen, developed leaf yellowing symptoms following infection with RBDV, but none of the other infected cultivars showed obvious leaf symptoms when kept in a heated glasshouse during the growing season. All tested cultivars were infectible with each of the four viruses transmitted in nature by the aphid, Amphorophora idaei. Most were infected symptomlessly, but seven cultivars developed severe leaf spotting symptoms due to infection with RLMV or RLSV. All but one of the raspberry cultivars were infectible with RVCV, which is transmitted in nature by the aphid Aphis idaei, and almost all infected plants developed leaf symptoms; only one of the hybrid berry or blackberry cultivars tested was infected with RVCV. In tests with the four nepoviruses, all tested cultivars, except Tummelberry, were infectible with at least one or more of these viruses. However, cultivars responded differently to challenge inoculation with different isolates of individual nepoviruses. Several cultivars developed chlorotic leaf mottling following infection with some nepovirus isolates. The implications of these results for virus control are discussed in the light of the changing pattern of virus and virus vector incidence in the UK. 相似文献

After graft inoculation with rubus yellow net virus (RYNV), 12 of 34 Rubus species and cultivars developed noticeable symptoms. R. macraei developed the most conspicuous symptoms and is recommended as an improved indicator plant. In attempts to determine the cause of raspberry veinbanding mosaic, a disease in which RYNV is involved, several European and North American red raspberry cvs were graft-inoculated with RYNV and three other aphid-borne viruses, black raspberry necrosis (BRNV), raspberry leaf mottle (RLMV) and raspberry leaf spot, singly and in all combinations. In periods of up to 4 yr, classical veinbanding mosaic symptoms developed in sensitive cvs only when they contained both RYNV and RLMV. These symptoms were intensified in plants co-infected with additional viruses. Veinbanding mosaic disease did not develop in any of 11 cvs infected with RYNV + BRNV, the combination of viruses previously assumed to be responsible for this disease in Britain and North America. 相似文献

Identification of Rubus yellow net virus as a distinct badnavirus and its detection by PCR in Rubus species and in aphids 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Rubus yellow net virus (RYNV) infects Rubus species and cultivars worldwide and is an essential component of raspberry veinbanding mosaic (RVBMD), a virus disease complex that causes serious decline in plant vigour and productivity. The virus is transmitted, probably in a semi‐persistent manner, by the large raspberry aphid, Amphorophora idaei in Europe, and A. agathonica in North America. The particles of RYNV are bacilliform in shape and measure 80–150 × 25–30 nm, similar to those of badnaviruses. A1.7 kb fragment of the viral DNA was amplified by PCR and then directly sequenced. Analysis of this sequence suggests that RYNV is possibly a distinct species in the genus Badnavirus and is most closely related to Gooseberry vein banding associated virus (GVBAV) and Spiraea yellow leaf spot virus, two other badnaviruses described recently. Using the sequence derived from the PCR‐amplified viral DNA fragment, RYNV‐specific primers were designed and used in PCR to assay for RYNV in a range of Rubus germplasm infected with RYNV, with other unrelated viruses and virus‐like diseases found in Rubus, and in healthy plants. RYNV was detected in all glasshouse cultures of RYNV‐infected plants, whether alone or in complex infections with other viruses, but not from healthy Rubus plants, nor from plants infected with other viruses. It was also detected in field‐grown raspberry plants with and without symptoms of RVBMD and in raspberry plants infected with RYNV by viruliferous A. idaei. RYNV was also detected by PCR in A. idaei following access feeds on RYNV‐infected plants of 1 h or more. PCR failed to amplify DNA from gooseberry infected with GVBAV confirming the specificity of the RYNV analysis. PCR detection of RYNV in dormant raspberry buds allows assays to be made outside the natural growing season, providing a useful application for plant introduction and quarantine programmes. 相似文献

SOME EFFECTS OF TANNIC ACID AND OF LEAF EXTRACTS WHICH CONTAIN TANNINS ON THE INFECTIVITY OF TOBACCO MOSAIC AND TOBACCO NECROSIS VIRUSES 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J. M. THRESH 《The Annals of applied biology》1956,44(4):608-618
The inhibition of infection by tobacco necrosis and tobacco mosaic viruses by tannic acid, and by extracts of raspberry and strawberry leaves, was associated with the precipitation of the viruses. Precipitation and inhibition were reversible, and infective virus was obtained from the precipitate formed between the viruses and tannins. Infectivity was fully restored by diluting mixtures of virus and tannin adequately and partially restored by adding alumina or nicotine sulphate.
Viruses and tannins are thought to form non-infective complexes, in which the virus and tannin components are held together by co-ordinate linkages or hydrogen bonds.
Macerating tobacco leaves infected with tobacco mosaic virus together with raspberry leaves greatly decreased the infectivity of the extracts; adding nicotine sulphate to the mixture of leaves before it was ground increased the infectivity, even though nicotine sulphate alone decreases the infectivity of tobacco mosaic virus. Even in the presence of nicotine sulphate, much of the virus was precipitated by substances from the raspberry leaves.
Extracts of roots of Fragaria vesca plants, infected with a tobacco necrosis virus, were more infective when made by macerating the roots with four times their weight of buffer at pH 8 than when made without buffer. Various methods are suggested for facilitating the transmission of viruses from plants that contain tannin. 相似文献

1 The European large raspberry aphid Amphorophora idaei Börner is the most important vector of viral diseases afflicting commercially grown red raspberry ( Rubus idaeus L.) in Northern Europe, with European raspberry production amounting to 416 000 tonnes per annum. This review synthesizes existing knowledge on its biology and interactions with other organisms, including its host plant and the viral pathogens it vectors.
2 Information about trophic interactions with other insect herbivores and natural enemies is reviewed. Vine weevils Otiorhynchus sulcatus compromise aphid resistance in some raspberry cultivars, increasing A. idaei abundance by 80%. Parasitoids show mixed success in parasitizing A. idaei , although Aphidius ervi attack rates more than doubled when A. idaei fed on a partially susceptible raspberry cultivar, compared with a resistant variety. These findings are discussed in the context of potential biological control as part of an integrated pest and disease management framework.
3 Amphorophora idaei transmits four known viruses: Black raspberry necrosis virus, Raspberry leaf mottle virus, Raspberry leaf spot virus and Rubus yellow net virus , with A. idaei taking as little as 2 min to transmit some viruses.
4 Existing control strategies, including resistant cultivars, insecticides and eradication of disease from parent plants, are described. In particular, strong selection pressures have resulted in A . idaei overcoming genetic resistance in many raspberry cultivars and most insecticides are now ineffective.
5 Future directions for the sustained control of A. idaei are suggested, taking into consideration the possible effects of climate change and also changes in agronomic practices in U.K. agriculture. 相似文献

The frequency with which the four virus-vector species of longidoroid nematodes occurring in Britain transmitted their associated plant viruses were compared in a series of experiments using a standard procedure. In these tests Xiphinema diversicaudatum proved an effective vector of British isolates of arabis mosaic virus and strawberry latent ringspot virus and Longidorus attenuatus of an isolate of tomato black ring virus from England. In comparison, isolates of raspberry ringspot virus and tomato blackring virus from Scotland and of raspberry ringspot virus from England were transmitted much less readily by their respective vectors, L. elongatus and L. macrosoma. These differences in ability to transmit virus were not related to differences in feeding access on the virus source- or bait-plants, in the extent to which virus was retained within the nematode feeding apparatus or in the frequency with which virus was recovered from Longidorus in concurrent slash tests. Three Scottish isolates of raspberry ringspot and tomato black ring viruses were transmitted equally infrequently by two populations of L. elongatus and the frequency with which virus was transmitted was not greatly increased when the species of source or bait plants was changed. 相似文献

Sprays of demeton-methyl insecticide decreased the spread of yellowing viruses by aphids in sugar-beet crops in England. Between 1957 and 1960, when yellows was prevalent, the incidence, assessed as ‘infected-plant-weeks’, was decreased by 36–41 % by one spray, depending on when it was applied, and by 55 % by two sprays, giving average yield increases of 1½ and 2 ton/acre of roots respectively. Between 1962 and 1966, when yellows spread less, a spray at the time when growers were advised to spray by the British Sugar Corporation decreased yellows incidence by 37 %, whereas sprays 2 weeks earlier or later decreased it by 24 % and 25 % respectively. Between 1958 and 1966 an annual average of 160000 of the country's 440000 acres of sugar beet has been sprayed, often to control Aphis fabae as well as to check the spread of yellows. A spray gives a profitable yield increase when yellows incidence in unsprayed plots is 20 % at the end of August. 相似文献

Black raspberry necrosis virus (BRNV) induces a severe apical necrosis in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) but fails to induce diagnostic symptoms in red raspberry. However, BRNV infection of F1, F2 and F3 hybrids from the cross black raspberry × red raspberry induced mosaic symptoms of varying intensity but no typical apical necrosis. In a survey of 28 red raspberry cultivars, a few developed severe angular chlorotic leaf spots when infected with raspberry leaf mottle virus and a few others did so when infected with raspberry leaf spot virus. These reactions were determined by single dominant genes designated Lm and Ls respectively. The value of the different host reactions for controlling the effects and spread of these viruses is discussed. 相似文献

Thin sections of diseased raspberry (Rubus idaeus) were examined by electron microscopy. Plants of the cv. Baumforth's B and of an aphid (Amphorophora rubi)-resistant breeding selection (6820/54), both infected with raspberry vein chlorosis virus (RVCV) but not with other detectable viruses, contained large bacilliform particles c. 430 × 65 nm. Particles occurred in the cytoplasm and perinuclear space of a small proportion of xylem parenchyma cells. They had an inner core c. 25–30 nm in diameter with cross-banding of periodicity 4·5 nm, and were bounded by an outer membrane. They are probably the particles of RVCV. Plants of cv. Mailing Jewel and of a selection (M14) both showing symptoms of raspberry mosaic (veinbanding) disease contained smaller bacilliform particles c. 125 × 30 nm, which occurred singly or in clusters in the cytoplasm of a small proportion of vascular parenchyma cells. It is not known which, if any, of the viruses associated with raspberry mosaic are represented by the particles. 相似文献

DNA was isolated from clover proliferation (CP) mycoplasmalike organism (MLO)-diseased periwinkle plants (Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don.) and cloned into pSP6 plasmid vectors. CP MLO-specific recombinant DNA clones were biotin labeled and used as probes in dot hybridization and restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses to study the genetic interrelatedness among CP MLO and other MLOs, including potato witches'-broom (PWB) MLO. Results from dot hybridization analyses indicated that both a Maryland strain of aster yellows and a California strain of aster yellows are distantly related to CP MLO. Elm yellows, paulownia witches'-broom, peanut witches'-broom, loofah witches'-broom, and sweet potato witches'-broom may be very distantly related, if at all, to CP MLO. A new Jersey strain of aster yellows MLO, tomato big bud MLO, clover phyllody MLO, beet leafhopper-transmitted virescence MLO, and ash yellows MLO are related to CP MLO, but PWB MLO is the most closely related. Similarity coefficients derived from restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses revealed that PWB and CP MLOs are closely related strains and thus provided direct evidence of their relatedness in contrast to reliance solely on biological characterization. 相似文献

The effectiveness of resistance to the aphid Amphorophora rubi in restricting the spread of aphid-borne viruses was assessed in a field experiment using six genotypes of red raspberry. In one block of the experiment, the genotypes alternated with rows of virus-infected Mailing Jewel raspberry, and in the other they alternated with virus-free Mailing Jewel. During 4 years, the numbers of A. rubi and the amount of 52V virus spread in the two blocks were similar, suggesting that this virus was mostly introduced from outside the plots. Lloyd George and Mailing Jewel raspberry became heavily infested with A. rubi and were rapidly infected with raspberry leaf mottle, raspberry leaf spot and 52V viruses. Glen Clova and Norfolk Giant raspberry, which contain minor genes for resistance to A. rubi, were infested with fewer A. rubi and virus spread more slowly in these cultivars. A. rubi were rare on Mailing Orion and an East Mailing raspberry selection (888/49) which have genes A1 and A10 respectively for resistance to A.rubi, and these plants remained largely free of virus. The role of minor and major gene resistance to A. rubi in restricting virus spread is discussed. A few Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Myzus ornatus were recorded on several of the raspberry genotypes. 相似文献

Cryotherapy of shoot tips is a new method for pathogen eradication based on cryopreservation techniques. Cryopreservation refers to the storage of biological samples at ultra-low temperature, usually that of liquid nitrogen (−196°C), and is considered as an ideal means for long-term storage of plant germplasm. In cryotherapy, plant pathogens such as viruses, phytoplasmas and bacteria are eradicated from shoot tips by exposing them briefly to liquid nitrogen. Uneven distribution of viruses and obligate vasculature-limited microbes in shoot tips allows elimination of the infected cells by injuring them with the cryo-treatment and regeneration of healthy shoots from the surviving pathogen-free meristematic cells. Thermotherapy followed by cryotherapy of shoot tips can be used to enhance virus eradication. Cryotherapy of shoot tips is easy to implement. It allows treatment of large numbers of samples and results in a high frequency of pathogen-free regenerants. Difficulties related to excision and regeneration of small meristems are largely circumvented. To date, severe pathogens in banana ( Musa spp.), Citrus spp., grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ), Prunus spp., raspberry ( Rubus idaeus ), potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) and sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas ) have been eradicated using cryotherapy. These pathogens include nine viruses (banana streak virus, cucumber mosaic virus, grapevine virus A, plum pox virus, potato leaf roll virus, potato virus Y, raspberry bushy dwarf virus, sweet potato feathery mottle virus and sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus), sweet potato little leaf phytoplasma and Huanglongbing bacterium causing 'citrus greening'. Cryopreservation protocols have been developed for a wide variety of plant species, including agricultural and horticultural crops and ornamental plants, and can be used as such or adjusted for the purpose of cryotherapy. 相似文献

SUGAR-BEET YELLOWS: FURTHER STUDIES ON VIRUSES AND VIRUS STRAINS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION IN EAST ANGLIA, 1958-59 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Experiments have shown that, as in the years 1955-57, two yellowing viruses, beet yellows virus (SBYV) and sugar-beet mild yellowing virus (SBMYV), were present in commercial sugar-beet crops in East Anglia in 1958 and 1959. The evidence that they are not closely related viruses has been confirmed. In both years the prevalence of the two viruses was estimated by aphid transmissions from yellowed sugar-beet leaves to healthy sugar beet and Chenopodium capitatum seedlings in the glasshouse, and in 1959 additionally by examination of symptoms on field plants. SBMYV was more common than SBYV over the whole region in 1958, but in 1959 SBYV was slightly more prevalent than SBMYV. In both years SBYV was found more often in the southern than in the northern parts of the region. The results described in this paper suggest that breeding for tolerance to SBMYV may be at least as important economically in East Anglia as breeding for tolerance to SBYV. A wide range of SBYV strains was present in East Anglia in 1959, most of the strains being those which caused severe symptoms in sugar beet and C. capitatum. 相似文献

Apple mosaic virus and raspberry bushy dwarf virus were detected by ELISA in plantlets of red raspberry still growing in vitro. The plantlets were derived from explants which were excised from plants infected by either of the viruses mentioned. Detection by ELISA of prune dwarf virus in 4-month-old in vitro cultures of sour cherry was reported earlier. Thus, application of ELISA to tissue cultured plants in vitro seems to be an appropriate method for early detection of virus-infected plant cultures. 相似文献

Aphid transmission of poleroviruses is highly specific, but the viral determinants governing this specificity are unknown. We used a gene exchange strategy between two poleroviruses with different vectors, Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) and Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV), to analyze the role of the major and minor capsid proteins in vector specificity. Virus recombinants obtained by exchanging the sequence of the readthrough domain (RTD) between the two viruses replicated in plant protoplasts and in whole plants. The hybrid readthrough protein of chimeric viruses was incorporated into virions. Aphid transmission experiments using infected plants or purified virions revealed that vector specificity is driven by the nature of the RTD. BWYV and CABYV have specific intestinal sites in the vectors for endocytosis: the midgut for BWYV and both midgut and hindgut for CABYV. Localization of hybrid virions in aphids by transmission electron microscopy revealed that gut tropism is also determined by the viral origin of the RTD. 相似文献

Scottish isolates of raspberry ringspot (RRV) and tomato black ring viruses (TBRV) showing slight serological differences were associated in the field with the nematode Longidorus elongatus and were all transmitted equally efficiently by this species in laboratory experiments. Forms of both viruses from southern England and Germany that are distantly serologically related to the Scottish isolates were also transmitted experimentally by L. elongatus, although in the field they are associated with other Longidorus species. L. elongatus transmitted English isolates of RRV almost as efficiently as the Scottish isolates but it transmitted English and German isolates of TBRV only occasionally. Four isolates each of TBRV and RRV were detected by inoculating plants with extracts of nematodes; the results paralleled those of the vector studies. 相似文献
