Reconstructing the history of Maize streak virus
64 65 Maize streak virus (MSV) strain A, the causal agent of Maize streak disease is 66 today one of the most serious biotic threats to African food security. Determining 67 where MSV-A originated and how it spread trans-continentally could yield 68 valuable insights into its historical emergence as a crop pathogen. Similarly, 69 determining where the major extant MSV-A lineages arose could ide...
متن کاملPerennial Wheat Germ Plasm Lines Resistant to Eyespot, Cephalosporium Stripe, and Wheat Streak Mosaic
The Palouse Prairie of eastern Washington was identified in the 1997 USDA National Resources Inventory as one of the most highly erodible areas in the United States. It is estimated that 10% of the original topsoil in eastern Washington has been lost since cultivation began in the region in the late 1800s (32). Furthermore, runoff from agricultural land reduces water quality in streams and rive...
متن کاملDating the origins of the maize-adapted strain of maize streak virus, MSV-A
Maize streak virus (MSV), which causes maize streak disease (MSD), is one of the most serious biotic threats to African food security. Here, we use whole MSV genomes sampled over 30 years to estimate the dates of key evolutionary events in the 500 year association of MSV and maize. The substitution rates implied by our analyses agree closely with those estimated previously in controlled MSV evo...
متن کاملInducible Resistance to Maize Streak Virus
Maize streak virus (MSV), which causes maize streak disease (MSD), is the major viral pathogenic constraint on maize production in Africa. Type member of the Mastrevirus genus in the family Geminiviridae, MSV has a 2.7 kb, single-stranded circular DNA genome encoding a coat protein, movement protein, and the two replication-associated proteins Rep and RepA. While we have previously developed MS...
متن کاملAldolase from Maize Derived from cDNA
A cDNA library was synthesized from maize anaerobic root mRNA and screened with cDNA specific to the anaerobically induced Zea mays cytoplasmic aldolase. At least 1% of the cDNA of the library corresponded to maize cytoplasmic aldolase. The sequence of four overlapping cDNA clones encoded a protein of molecular weight 38,611 homologous to aldolase. These cDNAs were polymorphic at three bases an...
