چکیده

background: the witches’ broom disease of lime caused by candidatus phytoplasma aurantifolia, is the most devastating disease of acidian lime in the southern parts of iran. objectives: at present, no effient method has been developed for controlling the disease, therefore quarantine approaches such as early detection and subsequent eradication of infected trees is very important. toward this aim, developing a reliable and sensitive detection method would be the fist step to prevent transportation of infected plant materials to other places.   background: the witches’ broom disease of lime caused by candidatus phytoplasma au­rantifolia, is the most devastating disease of acidian lime in the southern parts of iran.   objectives: at present, no efficient method has been developed for controlling the dis­ease, therefore quarantine approaches such as early detection and subsequent eradica­tion of infected trees is very important. toward this aim, developing a reliable and sensi­tive detection method would be the first step to prevent transportation of infected plant materials to other places.   materials and methods: in this study, immunodominant membrane protein (imp) of the pathogen was selected as a target for detection and preparation of polyclonal anti­body. the imp is the major protein present on the surface of phytoplasma cells. for this purpose, the dna region encoding imp gene was isolated and cloned into pet28a bacte­rial expression vector. the recombinant protein was expressed in a large scale in escheri­chia coli. purification was performed under native conditions and the purity and integ­rity of produced recombinant protein were confirmed by western immuno blot analysis using anti his-tag and anti-imp polyclonal antibodies. the purified recombinant imp was used for immunization of rabbit. purification of immunoglobulin was performed by affinity chromatography using protein a column. the purified immunoglobulin was conjugated with the alkaline phosphatase enzyme.   results: the purified antibodies and conjugates were applied for efficient detection of infected plants in double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (das-elisa) and dot immunosorbent assay (diba).   conclusions: these antibodies were proven to be very powerful tools to detect the can­didatus phytoplasma aurantifolia in plants.

Generation and expression in plants of a single-chain variable fragment antibody against the immunodominant membrane protein of Candidatus phytoplasma aurantifolia.

Witches' broom of lime is a disease caused by Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia, which represents the most significant global threat to the production of lime trees (Citrus aurantifolia). Conventional disease management strategies have shown little success, and new approaches based on genetic engineering need to be considered. The expression of recombinant antibodies and fragments thereof in ...

In-Depth Transcriptome Sequencing of Mexican Lime Trees Infected with Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia

Witches' broom disease of acid lime greatly affects the production of Mexican lime in Iran. It is caused by a phytoplasma (Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia). However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie phytoplasma pathogenicity and the mode of interactions with host plants are largely unknown. Here, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing was conducted to explore gene expression signatu...

Genetic analysis of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia’ associated with witches’ broom on acid lime trees

"Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia" is associated with witches' broom disease of lime in Oman and the UAE. A previous study showed that an infection by phytoplasma may not necessarily result in the physical appearance of witches' broom symptoms in some locations in Oman and the UAE. This study investigated whether phytoplasma strains belonging to "Ca. P. aurantifolia" (based on the 16S rRNA g...

In vitro interactions between immunodominant membrane protein of lime witches’ broom phytoplasma and leafhopper vector proteins

Lime witches’ broom phytoplasma (16SrII, LWB) causes major losses to lime cultivation in Iran. The role of its immunodominant membrane protein (IMP) in the specific interaction with vector proteins was addressed. The carboxy terminal moiety of LWB IMP, coding the extracellular part of the protein, was expressed (LWB f∆IMP) as a tool to study IMP interactions with insect proteins. In preliminary...
