Detection of members of the Secoviridae in the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA.

چکیده
Viruses are most frequently discovered because they cause disease. To expand knowledge of plant-associated viruses beyond these narrow constraints, non-cultivated plants of the Tallgrass Prairie of the United States were systematically surveyed for evidence of viruses. This report discusses putative viruses of the family Secoviridae identified by the survey. Sequence analysis suggests the presence of at least six viruses in the study site, including Bean pod mottle virus, Maize chlorotic dwarf virus, three previously undescribed viruses within the subfamily Comovirinae and one unclassifiable virus.

متن کاملHearing and spatial behavior in Gryllotalpa major Saussure (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae).
The prairie mole cricket (Gryllotalpa major Saussure) is a rare orthopteran insect of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem of the south central USA. Populations are known to currently occupy fragmented prairie sites in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri, including The Nature Conservancy's Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in north central Oklahoma.

متن کاملEcosystem characteristics of remnant, headwater tallgrass prairie streams.
North America has lost >95% of its native tallgrass prairie due to land conversion, making prairie streams one of the most endangered ecosystems. Research on the basic ecosystem characteristics of the remaining natural prairie streams will inform conservation and management. We examined the structure and function of headwater streams draining tallgrass prairie tracts at Osage Prairie in Missour...
متن کاملNon-cultivated plants of the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve of northeastern Oklahoma frequently contain virus-like sequences in particulate fractions.
The diversity of viruses associated with non-cultivated plants was assessed from plant samples collected in the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve of northeastern Oklahoma, USA. The samples were processed to determine the sequences of nucleic acids extracted from the virus-like particle fraction of plant homogenates. Sequences from 95 specimens of 52 plant species included those of probable origin from...
