Transmission of a strain of tomato black ring virus by Longidorus elongatus (Nematoda).

چکیده
Longidorus elongatus (de Man) was always found in soil from patches in raspberry and strawberry plantations where the plants were infected with the beet ringspot (Scottish) strain of tomato black ring virus but rarely elsewhere in the same plantations. L. elongatus hand-picked from virus-containing field soil transmitted the virus to sugar beet, turnip, and spinach seedlings, but did so less often than might have been expected from the infectivity of the whole soil from which the nematodes came. Noninfective L. elongatus acquired and subsequently transmitted the virus from infected cucumber and potato plants. When hand-picked adult and larval L. elongatus were used separately, only larvae transmitted. Also, when infective soil was fractionated by sieving through meshes of successively smaller size, the infectivity of the fraction retained on each sieve, relative to the number of L. elongntus it contained, was greatest for samples containing the smallest larvae. 9 previously undescribed species of Longidorus, closely related to L. elongatus, was associated with an outbreak of the lettuce ringspot (English) strain of tomato black ring virus.

Ingestion, retention, and transmission of two strains of raspberry ring-spot virus by Longidorus macrosoma.
The transmission of two strains of raspberry ringspot virus (RRV) by small numbers of nematodes was compared. A strain of RRV from Scotland (RRV-S), originally found in the field associated with Longidorus elongatus, was transmitted frequently by L. elongatus but only once by L. macrosoma. A strain from England (RRV-E) associated with L. macrosoma in the field was transmitted infrequently by ea...
متن کاملInfluence of Temperature on Multiplication and Egg Hatching of Longidorus africanus.
Longidorus africanus multiplication on tomato was highest at 29 degrees C. Few nematodes were recovered after 6 weeks at soil temperatures of 35 degrees C or below 23 degrees C. The time to egg hatching was shortest and the percentage of eggs hatching was highest at 29 degrees C. The minimum temperature and the heat sum above this temperature required for egg development were calculated to be 1...

Total DNA was isolated from individual nematodes of the species Longidorus helveticus, L. macrosoma, L. arthensis, L. profundorum, L. elongatus, and L. raskii collected in Switzerland. The ITS region and D1-D2 expansion segments of the 26S rDNA were amplified and cloned. The sequences obtained were aligned in order to investigate sequence diversity and to infer the phylogenetic relationships am...
متن کاملDetection and Identification of Tomato Ring Spot Virus in Ornamental Plants in North Khorasan Province
In recent years, the symptoms of viral diseases such as dwarfism, mosaic, discoloration, necrosis, and circular spots have been prevalent in ornamental plants in parks, gardens, and streets in North Khorasan Province. Tomato ring spot virus (ToRSV) belongs to the Nepovirus genus of Secoviridae family. This virus is a major cause of the infection of ornamental plants in the world. In this study,...
متن کاملTranslation Products of Genome and Satellite RNAs of Tomato Black Ring Virus
In wheat germ extracts and reticulocyte lysates the genome RNA molecules of tomato black ring virus (TBRV), RNA-I (tool. wt. 2.8 × lO 6) and RNA-2 (mol. wt. 1.6 × IO6), were translated into products of maximum mol. wt. 2.2 × lO 5 and 1.6 × lO 5, respectively. These products represent about 8o % and IOO % of the coding capacity of the two RNA species. The 1.6× Io 5 mol. wt. polypeptide reacted w...
