Genome structure and variability of Fijiviruses

The Fijivirus [Fiji disease virus, rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV), maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV), and pangola stunt virus (PaSV), the mal de Rio Cuarto virus (MRCV) strain of MRDV, and oat sterile dwarf virus] are distributed worldwide except for north America, and some of them cause serious disease. However, their genomes have not been extensively studied, and limited molecular data are available only for RBSDV, MRDV, PaSV and MRCV. ALl Fijiviruses have 10 segments, with an aggregate genome size larger than in other plant reovirus genera. All viruses analysed possess the same terminal conserved sequences, which differ from those of the phytoreoviruses and oryzaviruses. There are also sequence-specific inverted repeats adjacent to the terminal sequence. With MRDV and RBSDV, at least two of the segments are bicistronic. Homology studies suggest that MRDV and RBSDV, although known as separate viruses, should be considered as geographical races of the same virus. In contrast, limited data suggest that PaSV and MRCV are less close to each other and to MRDV/RBSDV. Electropherotyping has revealed variation among field isolates, with RBSDV, MRDV and MRCV.     

Understanding the epidemiological factors that intensify the incidence of maize rough dwarf disease in Spain

Currently the dominant limiting factor to maize production in Spain is caused by Maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV). This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiology factors involved in the increased incidence of MRD disease in Spain. We examined the maize planthopper dynamics and MRDV incidence throughout two maize growing seasons in six locations using a set of eight maize varieties: four Bt‐varieties (BT‐var) and their isogenic counterparts (NBT‐var). Our results indicate that MRDV incidence is greatly influenced by the first colonisation of maize by Laodelphax striatellus but not by Metadelphax propinqua and by the susceptibility of the maize varieties. No significant differences were observed between the BT‐var and NBT‐var, although BT‐var exhibited 1% less MRDV infection than NBT‐var. Cultivated wheat and Lolium perenne were found for the first time to be natural hosts of MRDV. However, wheat does not seem to be a preferred host for the development of L. striatellus. Partial sequencing of genome segments S1–S9 and full sequencing of segment S10 revealed that the Spanish MRDV isolate shares nucleotide identities ranging from 93% to 97% with the available sequences of segments S7–S10 of the Italian MRDV isolate. The highest nucleotide identities with other fijiviruses were observed with Rice black‐streaked dwarf virus. Molecular variability analysis of MRDV isolates collected over a ten years period showed high nucleotide (>97%) and amino sequence identities (>99%) on segment S10, suggesting a low temporal variability.     

Size and structure of the genome of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus.

The genome of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus consists of two segments of dsRNA, in equimolar amounts, with molecular weights of 2.5 X 10(6) and 2.3 X 10(6) daltons, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. The viral RNA was resistant to ribonuclease, and in sucrose gradient it co-sedimented at 14S with RNase resistant RNA from virus infected cells. Upon denaturation in 98% formamide, the viral genome sedi-mented at 24S in formamide sucrose gradient and became sensitive to RNase. Denatured 24S viral RNA did revert to its undenatured 14S form upon recentrifugation in aquaeous sucrose gradient (0.1 M NaCL), but co-sedimented with the denatured large size class of reovirus 25S RNA. The same results were obtained if the native viral RNA was pre-treated with ribonuclease before denaturation, indicating the absence of exposed single strainded regions in the viral genome. Since infectious pancreatic necrosis virus contains only two dsRNA segments it does not belong to the family Reoviridae and may represent a new group of viruses.     

Relatedness of the double-stranded RNAs present in yeast virus-like particles.

The relatedness of several double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA's) present in the virus-like particles of yeast was examined by T1 fingerprint analysis. The dsRNA's examined were L, the dsRNA encoding the capsid polypeptide of yeast virus-like particles; M, which appears to code for a toxic polypeptide and for resistance to the effects of the toxin; and two S dsRNA's present in particles analogous to the defective interfering particles of animal viruses. S3, a dsRNA of 0.46 X 10(6) daltons, was derived entirely from M, a dsRNA of 1.2 X 10(6) daltons. S1, a dsRNA of 0.92 X 10(6) daltons, was a duplication of S3. This conclusion has also been reached independently by heteroduplex mapping techniques (H. M. Fried and G. R. Fink, personal communication). S1 and S3, at least in one yeast strain, were unstable in sequence, apparently due to the accumulation of sequence variants of the same molecular weight. L was a species of 3 X 10(6) daltons, unrelated in sequence to M, S1, or S3. S1, S3, and M had a 3' T1 dodecanucleotide in common.     

The virome of maize rough dwarf disease: Molecular genome diversification,phylogeny and selection

The main threat to maize production in the Mediterranean area is maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) caused by Maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV). The analysis of virus diversification is necessary to assess the risk of MRDD outbreaks. We analysed the virome of MRDD by next-generation sequencing using pooled samples prepared from maize plants collected in Spain between 1999 and 2017. This yielded the sequences of all 10 genomic segments from six MRDV isolates plus an additional variant of S5 in one sample. Five of the genomes were 29,145 nucleotides (nt) in length, and the other was 3 nt longer. The six genomes were AT rich with low codon usage bias and the 13 open reading frames (ORFs) showed low potential expression levels. The highest expression levels were predicted for ORFs encoding the non-structural proteins P6, P5-1 and P9-1, and the structural protein P10. There was a strong correlation between higher level expression and T-ended codons, which were the most over-represented class. The concatenate and three individual segments (S3, S6 and S7) each formed a monophyletic group, whereas the remaining segments split into two groups with different clustering relationships relative to two other European MRDV isolates. The MRDV virome showed certain temporal and geographical diversification, but several proteins were highly conserved, especially P7-2. Three significant recombination hotspots were identified among genomic segments and four within segments. The ORFs encoding structural proteins appear under greater purifying selection.
