چکیده
ALTERATIONS IN BIOCHEMICAL COMPONENTS IN MESTA PLANTS: Yellow vein mosaic disease of mesta (kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus L.; and roselle, H. sabdariffa L.) is a new entrant to the disease scenario and it is associated with a novel monopartite Begomovirus. Changes in different biochemical parameters in diseased mesta plants were observed as compared to healthy ones. Isozyme pattern and assays of different enzymes, namely catalase, acid phosphatase, peroxidase, esterase, polyphenol oxidase and superoxide dismutase, revealed lower activities of catalase, acid phosphatase and peroxidase enzymes and enhanced activities of esterase, polyphenol oxidase and superoxide dismutase in diseased plants as compared to healthy ones. Due to the infection, chlorophyll content, phenolics and total soluble protein decreased whereas free amino acid, proline and disease-related proteins increased in the host plants. Differential responses of polyacetylene and isoflavone content as well as SDS-PAGE band profiling of total soluble proteins were also observed in plants due to the infection.

Blackberry yellow vein disease causes devastating losses on blackberry in the south and southeastern United States. Blackberry yellow vein associated virus (BYVaV) was identified as the putative causal agent of the disease but the identification of latent infections of BYVaV led to the investigation of additional agents being involved in symptomatology. A potyvirus, designated as Blackberry vir...

Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) samples showing yellow vein mosaic disease in Varanasi region were identified with begomovirus infection using PCR amplification. A sequencing analysis of the full genome revealed that it is a strain of Tomato leaf curl Palampur virus (GenBank ID. FJ931537). Phytochemical composition and antioxidative enzyme levels were compared in infected and healthy plants. The s...

The occurrence of viral co-infection is a common phenomenon in cultivated and native plant species and can alter the dynamics of virus infection. In this study, disease progress was examined in single and mixed infections of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) by measuring the rate of symptom development, disease severity and area under disease progress curve on infe...

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is a malvaceous bast fibre crop and the most promising source of “tree-free” newsprint in the world. For the last few years a begomovirus associated leaf curl disease of kenaf, characterized by upward leaf curling and stunted growth, has been observed at different locations in India. In this study biological and molecular analyses of kenaf leaf curl disease-associ...

Abstract Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) and Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) are the causal agents of most important diseases of citrus. Previously we reported a novel variant of HSVd that constantly associated with the yellow corky vein disease. Here, 19 individual citrus leaves with yellow corky vein symptoms were sampled for CTV by ELISA. In this study, most symptomatic samples were found to be inf...
