Tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) is an emerging seed-transmissible tobamovirus that infects tomato and pepper. Since the first report in 2013 Mexico, ToMMV has spread worldwide, posing a serious threat to production of both crops. To prevent this virus, early accurate detection infection required. In study, we developed method for based on reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplif...

Nicotiana benthamiana often displays more intense symptoms after infection by RNA viruses than do other Nicotiana species. Here, we examined the role of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) in N. benthamiana antiviral defense. cDNAs representing only two genes encoding RdRPs were identified in N. benthamiana. One RdRP was similar in sequence to SDE1/SGS2 required for maintenance of transgene s...

Sequence comparison of a non-biologically active full-length cDNA clone of Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) pOT1 with a biologically active ORSV cDNA clone pOT2 revealed a single nucleotide change of T-->C at position 211. This resulted in the change of Phe50 in OT2 to Ser50 in OT1. It was not the nucleotide but the amino acid change of Phe50 that was responsible for the inability of OT1 to ...

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) produces large quantities of RNA and protein on infection of plant cells. This and other features, attributable to its autonomous replication, make TMV an attractive candidate for expression of foreign sequences in plants. However, previous attempts to construct expression vectors based on plant RNA viruses, such as TMV, have been unsuccessful in obtaining systemic an...

Tobamoviruses encode a silencing suppressor that binds small RNA (sRNA) duplexes in vitro and supposedly in vivo to counteract antiviral silencing. Here, we used sRNA deep-sequencing combined with transcriptome profiling to determine the global impact of tobamovirus infection on Arabidopsis sRNAs and their mRNA targets. We found that infection of Arabidopsis plants with Oilseed rape mosaic toba...

The incidence and distribution of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and related tobamoviruses was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on 1,926 symptomatic horticultural crops and 107 asymptomatic weed samples collected from 78 highly infected fields in the major horticultural crop-producing areas in 17 provinces throughout Iran. The results were confirmed by host range studies and re...

The tomato Tobacco mosaic virus resistance-22 (Tm-22 ) gene encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide binding site-Leu-rich repeat protein lacking a conventional plasma membrane (PM) localization motif. Tm-22 confers plant extreme resistance against tobamoviruses including Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) by recognizing the avirulence (Avr) viral movement protein (MP). However, the subcellular compartment whe...

Abstract Tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) poses a threat to production and quality of tomato fruits. The Tm-2 2 gene confers resistance some tobamoviruses by recognizing viral movement proteins. However, -mediated against ToMMV is not well known. Here, we found that could infect wild-type but transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants also cultivar Moneymaker resistant Jili with homozygous . Chi...
