CROSS-PROTECTION BETWEEN DIFFERENT PATHOTYPES OF Pepino mosaic virus REPRESENTING CHILEAN 2 GENOTYPE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Viral cross-protection in plants is a phenomenon, where a mild virus isolate can protect plants against damage caused by a severe challenge isolate of the same virus. It has been used on a large scale in cases where no resistant plants are available. We examined differences in cross-protection between pathotypes of Pepino mosaic virus representing Chilean 2 genotype. The potential of a mild PepMV-P22 isolate to protect tomato against more aggressive challenge isolates causing yellowing and necrotic symptoms was established. The challenge isolates were PepMV-P5-IY (yellowing), PepMV-P19 (necrotic) and PepMV-P22 K67E (artificial necrotic mutant of PepMV-P22 which differ from PepMV-P22 only by a point mutation). Efficient cross-protection was obtained using mild PepMV-P22 against PepMV-P5-IY. After a challenge inoculation with PepMV-P19 or PepMV-P22 K67E symptoms severity were significantly reduced in comparison to non-protected plants; however, necrotic symptoms appeared two months after coinfection. The real-time PCR analysis revealed that the level of accumulation of the necrotic isolate in tomato plants was even 5–7 times higher than that of PepMV-P22.

Rapid evolutionary dynamics of the Pepino mosaic virus – status and future perspectives
Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) has emerged as an important pathogen of greenhouse tomato crops and is currently distributed worldwide. Population genetic studies have revealed a shift in the dominant PepMV genotype from European (EU) to Chilean 2 (CH2) in North America and several European countries. New genetic variants are constantly being created by mutation and recombination events. Single nuc...

BACKGROUND The solanaceous fruit crop pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.), originating in the Andes, is grown commercially in South American countries and New Zealand. In these areas, pests and diseases of pepino have been identified well; however, to date, these have seldom been investigated in detail in Japan. Herein, we attempt to reconstruct an agricultural production system for commercial pepi...
متن کاملGenetics of resistance to two strains of soybean mosaic virus in differential soybean genotypes.
There are seven pathotypes of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) representing seven strain groups (G1-G7) in the United States. Soybean genotypes [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] may exhibit resistant (R), susceptible (S), or necrotic (N) reactions upon interacting with different SMV strains. This research was conducted to investigate whether reactions to two SMV strains are controlled by the same gene or by s...
متن کاملEvidence for RNA recombination between distinct isolates of Pepino mosaic virus.
Genetic recombination plays an important role in the evolution of virus genomes. In this study we analyzed publicly available genomic sequences of Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) for recombination events using several bioinformatics tools. The genome-wide analyses not only confirm the presence of previously found recombination events in PepMV but also provide the first evidence for double recombina...

Over a period of few years, Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) has become one of the most important viral pathogen in tomato production worldwide. So far, five PepMV genotypes (EU, LP, CH2, US2 and US1) have been detected. A real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) procedure, using the fluorescence dye SYBR Green was developed for a rapid and reliable detection of genetically ...
