Use of VIRAZOLE® to eradicate odontoglossum ringspot virus from in vitro cultures of Cymbidium Sw.

Odontoglossum Ringspot Virus has been eradicated from Cymbidium Sw. through chemotherapy based on incorporation of ribavirin (VIRAZOLE^®) into the in vitro culture medium of protocorms. Applications of the virustatic agent for several consecutive subcultures freed protocorms of the virus. Acclimated plantlets regenerated from those protocorms are healthy as determinated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). No resurgence of virus occurred over a period of 5 years. Besides, trueness to type was total at flowering level and the batch grown was perfectly homogeneous.To secure fast and effective eradication of the virus during the consecutive subcultures of protocorms with ribavirin, three factors proved to be of prime importance: accurate isolation of new growths from initial tissues, VIRAZOLE^® concentration and frequency of transplanting in new media.

不同感染状态下EB病毒核抗原亚型表达的研究

本实验用免疫印迹法纯化的抗ＥＢＮＡ亚型抗体,结合显微荧光分光光度检测技术,检测在不同感染状态下,三种亚型ＥＢＮＡ抗原在细胞中的表达程度。结果表明,处于潜伏感染状态下的Ｒａｊｉ细胞ＥＢＮＡ－１表达量较大,经巴豆油和正丁酸诱导进入钝挫感染状态后ＥＢＮＡ－１表达减少,而ＥＢＮＡ－２的表达增强。Ｂ＿（９５－８）细胞也有相似的趋势。表明ＥＢ病毒的激活可能与不同ＥＢＮＡ亚型表达量的改变有关。     

ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY OF CULTURED BLUE-GREEN ALGAE (CYANOPHYTA)1

Lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts from approximately 600 strains of cultured cyanophytes, representing some 300 species, were examined for antiviral activity against three pathogenic viruses. Approximately 10% of the cultures produced substances that caused significant reduction in cytopathic effect normally associated with viral infection. The screening program identified the order Chroococcales as commonly producing antiviral agents.     

Study of multiplication of cucumber mosaic virus in susceptible and resistant Capsicum annuuum lines

A previous survey on pepper lines (Capsicum annuum L.) indicated that a susceptible cultivar, Yolo Wonder, reacted to cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) by producing a systemic yellow mosaic. By contrast, CMV caused no symptoms on lines Perennial and Vania. The virus is recoverable from the uninoculated leaves of Perennial, while in Vania CMV is restricted to the inoculated leaves. To interpret these phenomena, a comparative study on CMV multiplication rates, yield, specific infectivity and relative proportion of RNAs was made in the inoculated leaves of the three pepper varieties. The rate of CMV multiplication, as estimated by the double antibody sandwich form of enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay, was lower in Perennial than in Vania or Yolo Wonder. The yield of virus purified from Perennial was very low when compared with Vania or Yolo Wonder. The specific infectivity of the virus extracted from Perennial was less than that from Vania or Yolo Wonder. These results suggest that Perennial is resistant to CMV multiplication, while restriction of the virus in inoculated leaves of Vania is not due to the inhibition of the virus replication. However, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that the RNA profiles of CMV purified from the three pepper lines were similar.     

Seed transmission of turnip yellow mosaic virus in winter turnip and winter oilseed rapes

This is the first record of seed transmission of turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) in oilseed and turnip rapes. The seed transmission of TYMV in a naturally infected winter turnip rape (Brassica napus var. silvestris) cultivar Perko PVH was investigated. By ELISA 1.6%, 3.2% and 8.3% seed transmission of the virus was found in seed of plants from three localities. The proportion of infected seeds produced by artificially infected plants of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus ssp. oleifera) and winter turnip rape cultivars was determined. The virus transmission rate, expressed as the proportion of virus-infected plants which germinated from the seed was for the oilseed rape cvs Jet Neuf 0.1%, Solida 0.4%, Silesia 0.8%, Darmor 1.2%, SL-507 0.2%, SL-509 0.0% and for the winter turnip rape cv. Perko 1.5%. ELISA cannot be used in direct tests on bulk seed lots to estimate proportion of infected seed, but must be used on germinated seedlings.
