Heterologous Movement Protein Strongly Modifies the Infection Phenotype of Cucumber Mosaic Virus

The role of the Cucumber mosaic virus 2b protein in viral movement and symptom induction.

The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein is a counter-defense factor and symptom determinant. Conserved domains in the 2b protein sequence were mutated in the 2b gene of strain Fny-CMV. The effects of these mutations were assessed by infection of Nicotiana tabacum, N. benthamiana, and Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Col-0) with mutant viruses and by expression of mutant 2b transgenes in A. thal...

Characterization of Coat Protein Gene of Cucumber Mosaic Virus Isolates in Iran

Background: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from the Bromoviridae family, is one of the most widespread plant viruses in the world. Objectives: In the present study tomato fields in Guilan, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces were surveyed to determine the presence of CMV subgroups during 2011-2012. Materials and Methods: Out of 305 symptomatic leaf samples ...

حذف ویروس موزاییک خیار (cucumber mosaic virus, cmv) از گلایل

ویروس موزاییک خیار از رایج‎ترین ویروس‎های گلایل در سراسر جهان است. تکثیر گلایل از طریق اندام رویشی پداژه است بنابراین بیماری‎های ویروسی در آن از نسلی به نسل بعد منتقل و سبب افزایش بیماری و کاهش کیفیت آن می‎شود. بنابراین تولید پداژه‎های سالم از اهمیت زیادی برخوردار است. در این تحقیق درصد آلودگی پداژه‎های گلایل موجود در بازار به ویروس موزاییک خیار در دو استان تهران و البرز تعیین شد و روش گرمادرما...

Movement Protein of Cucumber Mosaic Virus Associates with Apoplastic Ascorbate Oxidase

Plant viral movement proteins facilitate virion movement mainly through interaction with a number of factors from the host. We report the association of a cell wall localized ascorbate oxidase (CsAO4) from Cucumis sativus with the movement protein (MP) of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). This was identified first in a yeast two-hybrid screen and validated by in vivo pull down and bimolecular fluore...
