Abstract Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is a new member of the genus Tobamovirus , and has potential to affect production marketability tomatoes peppers. In this study, we sequenced analyzed complete genome ToBRFV isolates from tomato plants showing mosaic mottling symptoms in Yunnan Province China. We constructed full-length infectious cDNA clone ToBRFV, which could induce systemic i...

Tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum Dunal) is a solanaceous weed, armed with prickles on stems, leaves, petioles, and calyxes. It is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay (26) and was introduced in the 1980s into Florida, where it thrives as a perennial, particularly in the southern part of the state (11). It has spread rapidly throughout Florida, now occurring on more than 405,000...

The proposed phylogenetic structure of the genus Tobamovirus supports the idea that these viruses have codiverged with their hosts since radiation of the hosts from a common ancestor. The determinations of genome sequence for two strains of Passion fruit mosaic virus (PafMV), a tobamovirus from plants of the family Passifloraceae (order Malpighiales) from which only one other tobamovirus (Marac...

Compared to other vegetable crops, the major viral constraints affecting pepper crops in the Mediterranean basin have been remarkably stable for the past 20 years. Among these viruses, the most prevalent ones are the seed-transmitted tobamoviruses; the aphid-transmitted Potato virus Y and Tobacco etch virus of the genus Potyvirus, and Cucumber mosaic virus member of the genus Cucumovirus; and t...

We previously demonstrated a specific interaction between Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) coat protein (CP) and a tobacco protein designated IP-L that may be involved in the long-distance movement of ToMV. Here, using the yeast two-hybrid system and GST pull-down assay, we demonstrated that the N-terminal helical region (residues 3-18) of IP-L is required for the interaction, while two alpha-helical...

Tobamovirus is a group of viruses that have become serious pathogens of crop plants. As part of a study informing risk of wild plant virus spill over to crops, we investigated the capacity of a solanaceous-infecting tobamovirus from an isolated indigenous flora to adapt to new exotic hosts. Yellow tailflower mild mottle virus (YTMMV) (genus Tobamovirus, family Virgaviridae) was isolated from a ...

The tobamoviruses tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and cucumber green mottle mosaic (CGMMV) have caused severe crop damages worldwide. Soil-mediated dispersion of the mechanically transmitted constitute a major hindrance toward mitigating disease spread in crops carefully planted under sanitized conditions. Tobamoviruses are viable for months soil plant debris more than year adhere to c...
