Observations and experiments on the use of an avirulent mutant strain of tobacco mosaic virus as a means of controlling tomato mosaic

In 1973 tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) strain M II-16 was successfully used by growers in the United Kingdom to protect commercial tomato crops against the severe effects of naturally occurring strains of TMV. However, plants in many crops had mosaic leaf symptoms which were occasionally severe, so possible reasons for symptom appearance were examined. The concentration of the mutant strain in commercially produced inocula (assessed by infectivity and spectrophotometry) ranged from 28 to 1220 μg virus/ml; nevertheless all samples contained sufficient virus to infect a high percentage of inoculated tomato seedlings. Increasing the distance between the plants and the spray gun used for inoculation from 5 to 15 cm resulted in a significant decrease in the number of tomato seedlings infected. When M II-16 infected tomato plants were subsequently inoculated with each of fifty-three different isolates of TMV, none showed severe symptoms of the challenging isolates within 4 wk, although some isolates of strain o induced atypically mild leaf symptoms. In a further experiment, M II-16 infected plants showed conspicuous leaf symptoms only 7 wk after inoculation with a virulent TMV isolate. M II-16 multiplied more slowly in tomato plants and had a lower specific infectivity than a naturally occurring strain of TMV. More than 50% of plants in crops inoculated with strain M II-16 which subsequently showed conspicuous leaf mosaic contained TMV strain 1 or a form intermediate between strains o and 1. It is suggested that the production of TMV symptoms in commercial crops previously inoculated with strain M II-16 may result from an initially low level of infection, due to inefficient inoculation, which allows subsequent infection of unprotected plants by virulent strains. Incomplete protection by strain M II-16 against all naturally occurring strains may also be an important factor.     

Identification of regions affecting virulence, RNA processing and infectivity in the virulent satellite of turnip crinkle virus.

Turnip crinkle virus (TCV) supports a small family of satellite RNAs (RNAs C, D and F). RNA C is a virulent satellite, producing severe symptoms in host plants, while RNAs D and F are avirulent satellites. The virulent satellite (RNA C) has two major domains--a 5'-domain similar to the avirulent satellites and a 3'-domain similar to the 3'-end of the TCV genome. To demonstrate that the 3'-domain of RNA C determines virulence, a chimeric satellite was constructed composed mostly of the 5'-domain of the avirulent satellite (RNA F) and the 3'-domain of the virulent satellite (RNA C). To locate other functional regions, small DNA fragments were inserted or deleted at various sites in the cDNA of virulent satellite (RNA C). Most small internal deletions and insertions in the midsection of the molecule had no detectable effects while those near the 3'-end of RNA C destroyed infectivity. Modifications in a small region centering on an AGCAGC repeat in the domain of satellite homology blocked the accumulation of monomers and presumably the processing of RNA C. Other modifications in this region produced more intense symptoms. Hence, these experiments reveal regions of the satellite which determine virulence, are essential for infectivity, affect monomer accumulation (RNA processing) and modulate symptom expression.     

Resistance of tomato infected with cucumber mosaic virus satellite RNA to potato spindle tuber viroid

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cvs Rutgers and Lichun) plants were firstly pre-inoculated either with a cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolate containing satellite RNA (CMV-S52) or with a CMV isolate without satellite RNA, and then challenged 14 days later with a severe strain of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). Also, tomato plants transformed with CMV satellite cDNA and non-transgenic control plants were directly inoculated with PSTVd. Protection effects were assessed by the observation of symptoms and by assay of PSTVd accumulation in tomato plants using return polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. The results indicated that the satellite-transgenic plants and plants pre-inoculated with CMV-S52 showed much milder symptoms of PSTVd infection than the respective control plants. The concentration of PSTVd RNA in the satellite-transgenic plants and CMV-S52 pre-inoculated plants was reduced to about 0.02-0.03 of the controls. PSTVd infection did not increase the amount of satellite ds-RNA in plants. It is concluded that the plant resistance to PSTVd is induced by the presence of satellite RNA rather than the CMV infection. It is suggested that as there is considerable sequence similarity between satellite RNA and PSTVd, base pairings may be a cause of reduction of both symptoms and the accumulation of PSTVd.

Satellite RNA for the control of plant diseases caused by cucumber mosaic virus

Two virus-protecting strains, S₅₁ and S₅₂, were obtained for the control of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) by local lesion selection after adding satellite RNA to the RNA genome of CMV. Both were found to protect pepper plants against a virulent strain of CMV under greenhouse and field conditions. Results from 14 localities in China indicated that the use of protective strains decreased the disease index by 21.6% to 82.8% and increased fruit yields by 10.8% to 55.6%. The host reactions and safety of S₅₁ and S₅₂ were tested, and the effects of the strains on plant growth were also investigated. Possible mechanisms of control of CMV-caused plant diseases by mild strains are discussed.     

Transformed tomato plants express a satellite RNA of cucumber mosaic virus and produce lethal necrosis upon infection with viral RNA.

Tomato plants transformed with a single copy of a tomato necrosis causing satellite RNA of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) express the satellite sequence, but the plants show no disease symptoms and have a normal appearance. Upon challenge infection of the F1 progeny with a CMV strain free of any detectable encapsidated satellite the plants accumulated single and double-stranded forms of satellite RNA and developed lethal necrosis.     

带卫星RNA黄瓜花叶病毒保护接种的植物中病毒积累与基因组RNA合成及病状表达

本文报道了三生烟在接种带卫星RNA的黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV-S52)后,或接种后用强毒CMV攻击,其病状表现、组织中病毒含量,病毒基因组RNA合成与卫星RNA合成的关系.植物在接种CMV-S52后7～10天,所有接种植物都表现出不同程度的轻度花叶症状,此期正是组织内病毒含量最高,而卫星dsRNA占总dsRNA百分比较低时期.接种后不同时间的测定证明,组织内病毒基因组dsRNAl和dsRNA2的合成水平均较低,而卫星dsRNA则始终保持较高的合成水平;到接种后15天病状消失时,卫星dsRNA占总dsRNA合成百分比的84.79％之多. 用CMV-S52保护接种后再用强病毒攻击,植物中的病毒含量、病毒ssRNA合成不增加或稍有增加;而基因组dsRNA和卫星dsRNA合成都有增加,但卫星dsRNA合成仍占绝对优势.保护作用的效果,取决于攻强病毒时已存在于组织内的卫星RNA与基因组RNA合成量的相对比例。讨论了卫星RNA的保护机理。     

Cross protection in transgenic tobacco plants expressing a mild strain of tobacco mosaic virus

Summary Cross protection of plant viruses is a phenomenon in which plants infected with one strain of a virus are protected from the effects of superinfection by other related strains. Recently, we have succeeded in the introduction and expression of a cDNA copy of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) genomic RNA in transgenic tobacco plants. Using this system, we introduced a cDNA copy of a mild strain of TMV into tobacco plants. The transgenic plants did not develop any severe symptoms upon inoculation with a virulent TMV strain, indicating that these transgenic plants were cross protected against TMV infection. The system described here can be a useful model system to study the mechanism(s) of cross protection.     

Potato spindle tuber viroid as inducer of RNA silencing in infected tomato.

Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), an RNA plant pathogen encoding no known proteins, induces systemic symptoms on tomato plants. We report detection of small RNAs of approximately 25 nucleotides with sequence specificity to PSTVd in infected plants: an indication of the presence of RNA silencing. RNA silencing, however, did not appear to be responsible for the differing symptoms induced by a mild and a severe strain of PSTVd. The unique structural and biological features of viroids make them attractive experimental tools to investigate mechanisms of RNA silencing and pathogen counterdefense.
