Simultaneous detection of major pome fruit viruses and a viroid.

ABSTRACT: A rapid and sensitive two-step RT-PCR protocol for simultaneous detection of major apple viruses, namely Apple mosaic virus (ApMV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) and Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd), was developed. Five specific primer pairs were tested and confirmed for these viruses and viroid together in a single tube, giving amplicons of ~198, ~330, ~370, ~547 and ~645 bp corresponding to ASGV, ASSVd, ASPV, ApMV and ACLSV, respectively. Using a guanidinium-based extraction buffer along with a commercial kit resulted in better quality RNA as compared to kit, suited for multiplex RT-PCR. A rapid CTAB method for RNA isolation from apple tissue was developed, which produce good yield and saves time. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the simultaneous detection of five pathogens (four viruses and a viroid) from apple with NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (nad5) as an internal control.

Simultaneous detection of three pome fruit tree viruses by one-step multiplex quantitative RT-PCR.

Project description:A one-step multiplex real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) based on TaqMan probes was developed for the simultaneous detection of Apple mosaic virus (ApMV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) and Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) in total RNA of pome trees extracted with a CTAB method. The sensitivity of the method was established using in vitro synthesized viral transcripts serially diluted in RNA from healthy, virus-tested (negative) pome trees. The three viruses were simultaneously detected up to a 10-4 dilution of total RNA from a naturally triple-infected apple tree prepared in total RNA of healthy apple tissue. The newly developed RT-qPCR assay was at least one hundred times more sensitive than conventional single RT-PCRs. The assay was validated with 36 field samples for which nine triple and 11 double infections were detected. All viruses were detected simultaneously in composite samples at least up to the ratio of 1:150 triple-infected to healthy pear tissue, suggesting the assay has the capacity to examine rapidly a large number of samples in pome tree certification programs and surveys for virus presence.

Development of a novel polyprobe for simultaneous detection of six viruses infecting stone and pome fruits.

Project description:A biotin-labeled, non-isotopic, novel polyprobe was developed for the simultaneous detection of six viruses viz. apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), apple mosaic virus (ApMV), apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), cherry virus A (CVA), prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) and plum pox virus (PPV) infecting stone and pome fruit trees through dot-blot hybridization assay. The sensitivity of the polyprobe was checked by serial dilutions of total RNA extracted from the tissues of infected trees. ACLSV was detected up to a dilution of 5-5, whereas ApMV, ASGV, CVA, PPV and PNRSV up to 5-4. The developed assay was validated following testing a total of 45 symptomatic leaf samples collected from different geographical regions of Jammu and Kashmir (India), and the presence of the viruses was further confirmed by RT-PCR and sequencing. The polyprobe, designed for performing molecular hybridization assay can be developed quickly and avoid the tedious transformation and cloning procedures. Apart from simultaneously detecting viruses in stone and pome fruit trees, it holds great potential for virus indexing programmes to ascertain the supply of virus-free plant materials to the growers.

Genomic, Morphological and Biological Traits of the Viruses Infecting Major Fruit Trees.

Project description:Banana trees, citrus fruit trees, pome fruit trees, grapevines, mango trees, and stone fruit trees are major fruit trees cultured worldwide and correspond to nearly 90% of the global production of woody fruit trees. In light of the above, the present manuscript summarizes the viruses that infect the major fruit trees, including their taxonomy and morphology, and highlights selected viruses that significantly affect fruit production, including their genomic and biological features. The results showed that a total of 163 viruses, belonging to 45 genera classified into 23 families have been reported to infect the major woody fruit trees. It is clear that there is higher accumulation of viruses in grapevine (80/163) compared to the other fruit trees (each corresponding to less than 35/163), while only one virus species has been reported infecting mango. Most of the viruses (over 70%) infecting woody fruit trees are positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA), and the remainder belong to the -ssRNA, ssRNA-RT, dsRNA, ssDNA and dsDNA-RT groups (each corresponding to less than 8%). Most of the viruses are icosahedral or isometric (79/163), and their diameter ranges from 16 to 80 nm with the majority being 25-30 nm. Cross-infection has occurred in a high frequency among pome and stone fruit trees, whereas no or little cross-infection has occurred among banana, citrus and grapevine. The viruses infecting woody fruit trees are mostly transmitted by vegetative propagation, grafting, and root grafting in orchards and are usually vectored by mealybug, soft scale, aphids, mites or thrips. These viruses cause adverse effects in their fruit tree hosts, inducing a wide range of symptoms and significant damage, such as reduced yield, quality, vigor and longevity.

A diagnostic oligonucleotide microarray for simultaneous detection of grapevine viruses.

Project description:At least 58 viruses have been reported to infect grapevines causing economic damage globally. Conventional detection strategies based on serological assays, biological indexing and RT-PCR targeting one or few viruses in each assay are widely used. Grapevines are prone to contain mixed infections of several viruses, making the use of these techniques time-consuming. A 70-mer oligonucleotide microarray able to detect simultaneously a broad spectrum of known viruses as well as new viruses by cross-hybridization to highly conserved probes is reported in the present study. The array contains 570 unique probes designed against highly conserved and species-specific regions of 44 plant viral genomes. In addition probes designed against plant housekeeping genes are also included. By using a random primed RT-PCR amplification strategy of grapevine double stranded RNA-enriched samples, viral agents were detected in single and mixed infections. The microarray accuracy to detect 10 grapevine viruses was compared with RT-PCR yielding consistent results. For this purpose, grapevine samples containing single or mixed infections of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-1, -2, -3, -4, -7, -9, Grapevine fanleaf virus, Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus, Grapevine virus A, and Grapevine virus B were used. Genomic libraries containing complete viral genomes were also used as part of the validation process. The specific probe hybridization pattern obtained from each virus makes this approach a powerful tool for high throughput plant certification purposes and also for virus discovery if the new viral genomic sequences have partial similarity with the microarray probes. Three Closteroviridae members (Grapevine leafroll-associated virus -4, -7 and -9) were detected for the first time in Chilean grapevines using the microarray.

Simultaneous detection and identification of enteric viruses by PCR-mass assay.

Project description:Simultaneous detection of enteric viruses that cause similar symptoms (e.g. hand, foot and mouth disease) is essential to the prevention of outbreaks and control of infections. In this study, a novel PCR-Mass assay combining multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was developed and used for simultaneous detection of eight distinct human enteric viruses. Enteric viral isolates and standard viral RNAs were examined to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the PCR-Mass assay. Clinical performance was evaluated with a total of 101 clinical specimens from patients suspected of having hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The results were compared to those of previous analyses using real-time RT-PCR. The identification of specific viruses and clinical specimens shows that the PCR-Mass assay performed as well as or better than standard methods with respect to indicating the presence of multiplex pathogens in a single specimen.

Apple chlorotic fruit spot viroid: a putative new pathogenic viroid on apple characterized by next-generation sequencing.

Project description:Viroid-like symptoms were observed in 2016 on apple fruits of the cultivar "Ilzer Rose" in southern Burgenland, Austria. Preliminary molecular biological investigations indicated that the symptoms were caused by a new unknown viroid. Therefore, new primers were designed, and the whole genome sequence of the viroid (354 nt) was determined by next-generation amplicon sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq® platform (San Diego, California, USA). The viroid secondary structure has a rod-like conformation and contains conserved regions (the TCR, CCR upper strand, and CCR lower strand) that are characteristic of members of the genus Apscaviroid. Based on our results and the demarcation criteria for viroids, the tentatively named "apple chlorotic fruit spot viroid" should be considered a putative new member of the genus Apscaviroid.

A multiplex xTAG assay for the simultaneous detection of five chicken immunosuppressive viruses.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Chicken anemia virus (CAV), avian reovirus (ARV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), Marek's disease virus (MDV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) all cause immunosuppressive disease in birds through vertical or horizontal transmission. Mixed infections with these immunosuppressive pathogens lead to atypical clinical signs and obstruct accurate diagnoses and epidemiological investigations. Therefore, it is essential to develop a high-throughput assay for the simultaneous detection of these immunosuppressive viruses with high specificity and sensitivity. The aim of this study was to establish a novel method using a RT-PCR assay combined with fluorescence labeled polystyrene bead microarray (multiplex xTAG assay) to detect single or mixed viral infections. RESULTS:The results showed that the established xTAG assay had no nonspecific reactions with avian influenza virus (AIV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS). The limit of detection was 1.0?×?103 copies/?L for IBDV and 1.0?×?102copies/?L for the other four viruses. Ninety field samples were tested and the results were confirmed using conventional RT-PCR methods. The detection results of these two methods were 100% consistent. The established multiplex xTAG assay allows a high throughput and simultaneous detection of five chicken immunosuppressive viruses. CONCLUSION:The multiplex xTAG assay has been showed to be an additional tool for molecular epidemiology studies of five chicken immunosuppressive viruses in the poultry industry.
