Draft Genome Sequence of a "Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris"-Related Strain (Aster Yellows, Subgroup 16SrI-B) from South Africa.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a phytoplasma discovered in grapevine. The genome size is 600,116?nucleotides (nt), with 597 predicted open reading frames. It is most similar to a maize bushy stunt phytoplasma of group 16SrI-B (aster yellows). The possible presence of a 3,833-nt plasmid was also noted.

Draft genome sequence of the New Jersey aster yellows strain of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris'.

Project description:The NJAY (New Jersey aster yellows) strain of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris' is a significant plant pathogen responsible for causing severe lettuce yellows in the U.S. state of New Jersey. A draft genome sequence was prepared for this organism. A total of 177,847 reads were assembled into 75 contigs > 518 bp with a total base value of 652,092 and an overall [G+C] content of 27.1%. A total of 733 protein coding genes were identified. This Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession MAPF00000000. This draft genome was used for genome- and gene-based comparative phylogenetic analyses with other phytoplasmas, including the closely related 'Ca. Phytoplasma asteris' strain, aster yellows witches'- broom (AY-WB). NJAY and AY-WB exhibit approximately 0.5% dissimilarity at the nucleotide level among their shared genomic segments. Evidence indicated that NJAY harbors four plasmids homologous to those known to encode pathogenicity determinants in AY-WB, as well as a chromosome-encoded mobile unit. Apparent NJAY orthologs to the important AY-WB virulence factors, SAP11 and SAP54, were identified. A number of secreted proteins, both membrane-bound and soluble, were encoded, with many bearing similarity to known AY-WB effector molecules and others representing possible secreted proteins that may be novel to the NJAY lineage.

Comparative genome analysis of "Candidatus Phytoplasma australiense" (subgroup tuf-Australia I; rp-A) and "Ca. Phytoplasma asteris" Strains OY-M and AY-WB.

Project description:The chromosome sequence of "Candidatus Phytoplasma australiense" (subgroup tuf-Australia I; rp-A), associated with dieback in papaya, Australian grapevine yellows in grapevine, and several other important plant diseases, was determined. The circular chromosome is represented by 879,324 nucleotides, a GC content of 27%, and 839 protein-coding genes. Five hundred two of these protein-coding genes were functionally assigned, while 337 genes were hypothetical proteins with unknown function. Potential mobile units (PMUs) containing clusters of DNA repeats comprised 12.1% of the genome. These PMUs encoded genes involved in DNA replication, repair, and recombination; nucleotide transport and metabolism; translation; and ribosomal structure. Elements with similarities to phage integrases found in these mobile units were difficult to classify, as they were similar to both insertion sequences and bacteriophages. Comparative analysis of "Ca. Phytoplasma australiense" with "Ca. Phytoplasma asteris" strains OY-M and AY-WB showed that the gene order was more conserved between the closely related "Ca. Phytoplasma asteris" strains than to "Ca. Phytoplasma australiense." Differences observed between "Ca. Phytoplasma australiense" and "Ca. Phytoplasma asteris" strains included the chromosome size (18,693 bp larger than OY-M), a larger number of genes with assigned function, and hypothetical proteins with unknown function.

Aster leafhopper survival and reproduction, and Aster yellows transmission under static and fluctuating temperatures, using ddPCR for phytoplasma quantification.

Project description:Aster yellows (AY) is an important disease of Brassica crops and is caused by Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris and transmitted by the insect vector, Aster leafhopper (Macrosteles quadrilineatus). Phytoplasma-infected Aster leafhoppers were incubated at various constant and fluctuating temperatures ranging from 0 to 35?°C with the reproductive host plant barley (Hordium vulgare). At 0?°C, leafhopper adults survived for 18 days, but failed to reproduce, whereas at 35?°C insects died within 18 days, but successfully reproduced before dying. Temperature fluctuation increased thermal tolerance in leafhoppers at 25?°C and increased fecundity of leafhoppers at 5 and 20?°C. Leafhopper adults successfully infected and produced AY-symptoms in canola plants after incubating for 18 days at 0-20?°C on barley, indicating that AY-phytoplasma maintains its virulence in this temperature range. The presence and number of AY-phytoplasma in insects and plants were confirmed by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) quantification. The number of phytoplasma in leafhoppers increased over time, but did not differ among temperatures. The temperatures associated with a typical crop growing season on the Canadian Prairies will not limit the spread of AY disease by their predominant insect vector. Also, ddPCR quantification is a useful tool for early detection and accurate quantification of phytoplasma in plants and insects.
