Identification, genetic diversity and recombination analysis of Watermelon Mosaic Virus isolates.

ABSTRACT: Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) is an important virus causing adverse effects on cucurbits throughout the world. In this study, we recorded WMV infection in the watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)-growing area of Alwar and Sikar in districts of Rajasthan, India. The RT-PCR-based detection was performed to confirm the presence of WMV, by using potyvirus-degenerated coat protein primers. Further, the complete genome sequences of two WMV isolates were compared with previously reported genome sequences. The complete genome of each isolate was 10,030 nt long, excluding the poly-A tails. Phylogeny relationships of the WMV isolates in the present study revealed the presence of uneven evolutionary pressure among the different WMV viral genomic segments. The analysis revealed that all the WMV isolates were divided into three clusters and the Indian WMV isolates cluster together with the French isolate. Recombination analysis of WMV exhibited significant recombination hotspots in the P1, NIa-Pro and Nib-CP regions. Our finding highlights the importance of genetic variability and recombination analysis to provide a better understanding of WMV molecular diversity.

Genetic Variability and Evidence of a New Subgroup in Watermelon Mosaic Virus Isolates.

Project description:Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) is one of the important Potyviruses that infect cucurbits worldwide. To better understand the population structure of WMV in the United States (U.S.), 57 isolates were collected from cucurbit fields located in nine southern states. The complete coat protein gene of all WMV isolates was cloned, sequenced and compared with 89 reported WMV isolates. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities among the U.S. WMV isolates ranged from 88.9 to 99.7% and from 91.5 to 100%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all the U.S. WMV isolates irrespective of their geographic origin or hosts belonged to Group 3. However, the fifty-seven isolates made three clusters in G3, where two clusters were similar to previously reported subgroups EM1 and EM2, and the third cluster, containing nine WMV isolates, formed a distinct subgroup named EM5 in this study. The ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous nucleotide substitution was low indicating the occurrence of negative purifying selection in the CP gene of WMV. Phylogenetic analysis of selected 37 complete genome sequences of WMV isolates also supported the above major grouping. Recombination analysis in the CP genes confirmed various recombinant events, indicating that purifying selection and recombination are the two dominant forces for the evolution of WMV isolates in the U.S.

Genetic diversity and biological characterization of sugarcane streak mosaic virus isolates from Iran.

Project description:Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV; genus Poacevirus, family Potyviridae) is a major causal agent of sugarcane mosaic disease in Asia. A survey of SCSMV was conducted in cultivated fields in Khuzestan province, southwestern Iran. Sixty-five sugarcane leaf samples showing mosaic symptoms were collected and investigated by RT-PCR. Almost one-fourth of the samples were found to be infected by SCSMV. To verify molecular variability, 12 SCSMV isolates were sequenced and analyzed by comparing partial NIb-CP gene sequences. The nucleotide identity among Iranian isolates was 83.1-99.8%, indicating high nucleotide variability, while amino acid identity was 95.2-100%, which suggesting selection for amino acid conservation. They shared nucleotide identities of 76.2-99.1% with those of other SCSMV isolates available in GenBank, the highest with isolates from Pakistan (PAK), India (IND671) and China (M117, KT257289). Further analysis was conducted based on complete CI coding region to gain more insight into the phylogenetic relationships of Iranian SCSMV compared to those from other Asian countries. Iranian isolates shared identities of 79.8-89.0% (nucleotide) and 94.8-98.6% (amino acid) with those from other geographical regions in the CI gene. The highest nucleotide identity of Iranian isolates was with isolates PAK (Pakistan), M121 (JQ975096, China) and IND671 (India), respectively. The phylogenetic trees (based on CI and NIb-CP) revealed the segregation of SCSMV isolates into two major divergent evolutionary lineages that reflect geographical origin of the isolates (with minor exception). Phylogenetic analyses grouped Iranian SCSMV isolates together with isolates from Pakistan, India and just one Chinese isolate in group II. Biological results showed that Iranian SCSMV isolates infect sugarcane, sorghum, maize and some wild grasses, causing mosaic symptoms on the leaves.

Molecular characterization and population evolution analysis of <i>Watermelon mosaic virus</i> isolates on cucurbits of Northwest Iran.

Project description:One of the destructive potyviruses which cause economic damage and serious yield losses to cucurbit crops around the world is Watermelon mosaic potyvirus. In 2016, 305 leaf samples from different cucurbit cultivars with deformation and reduction in leaf size, blistering, mild and severe mosaic symptoms were collected from different cucurbits-growing regions in Northwest of Iran. Total RNA and their cDNA were tested by RT-PCR assay using two sets of specific primers corresponding to the partial sequences of CP and P1 genomic regions, in which approximately 80 out of 305 samples were found to be infected by WMV. DNA fragments of about 780 bp and 545 bp in length were amplified that belonged to the CP and P1 genes, respectively. Phylogenetic trees of WMV isolates were clustered into three main independent groups with significant F ST values (> 0.50 and > 0.55) for CP and P1 genes, respectively. dN/dS ratios obtained less than one (< 1) for CP gene that showed the WMV populations have been under the negative selection, whereas for P1 gene, the dN/dS values were calculated > 1 for EM clade containing; China, France, and Italy populations and < 1 for CL and G2 clades; South Korea and Iran populations. This results demonstrated that the WMV evolutionary selection pressure on the P1 gene is dependent on conditions such as the variety of cultivars and the type of cultivation.

Genetic diversity analysis of papaya leaf distortion mosaic virus isolates infecting transgenic papaya "Huanong No. 1" in South China.

Project description:The commercialized genetically modified papaya "Huanong No. 1" has been utilized to successfully control the destructive virus-papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) in South China since 2006. However, another new emerging virus, papaya leaf distortion mosaic virus (PLDMV), was found in some PRSV-resistant transgenic plants in Guangdong and Hainan provinces of South China through a field investigation from 2012 to 2019. The survey results showed that "Huanong No. 1" papaya plants are susceptible to PLDMV, and the disease prevalence in Hainan Province is generally higher than that in Guangdong Province. Twenty representative isolates were selected to inoculate "Huanong No. 1," and all of the inoculated plants showed obvious disease symptoms similar to those in the field, indicating that PLDMV is a new threat to widely cultivated transgenic papaya in South China. Phylogenetic analysis of 111 PLDMV isolates in Guangdong and Hainan based on the coat protein nucleotide sequences showed that PLDMV isolates can be divided into two groups. The Japan and Taiwan China isolates belong to group I, whereas the Guangdong and Hainan isolates belong to group II and can be further divided into two subgroups. The Guangdong and Hainan isolates are far different from the Japan and Taiwan China isolates and belong to a new lineage. Further analysis showed that the Guangdong and Hainan isolates had a high degree of genetic differentiation, and no recombination was found. These isolates deviated from neutral evolution and experienced population expansion events in the past, which might still be unstable. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for clarifying the evolutionary mechanism and population genetics of the virus and for preventing and controlling the viral disease.

Phylogenetic analysis of partial S1 and N gene sequences of infectious bronchitis virus isolates from Italy revealed genetic diversity and recombination.

Project description:A total of ten infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) isolates collected from commercial chickens in Italy in 1999 were characterized by RT-PCR and sequencing of the S1 and N genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial S1 gene sequences showed that five field viruses clustered together with 793/B-type strains, having 91.3-98.5% nucleotide identity within the group, and one isolate had very close sequence relationship (94.6% identity) with 624/I strain. These two IBV types have been identified in Italy previously. The other three variant isolates formed novel genotype detected recently in many countries of Western Europe. For one of these variant viruses, Italy-02, which afterwards became the prototype strain, the entire S1 gene was sequenced to confirm its originality. In contrast, phylogenetic analysis of more conserved partial N gene sequences, comprising 1-300 nucleotides, revealed different clustering. Thus, three variant IBVs of novel Italy-02 genotype, which had 96.7-99.2% S1 gene nucleotide identity with each other, belonged to three separate subgroups based on N gene sequences. 624/I-type isolate Italy-06 together with Italy-03, which was undetectable using S1 gene primers, shared 97.7% and 99.3% identity, respectively, in N gene region with vaccine strain H120. Only one of the 793/B-type isolates, Italy-10, clustered with the 793/B strain sharing 99.3% partial N gene identity, whereas the other four isolates were genetically distant from them (only 87.7-89.7% identity) and formed separate homogenous subgroup. The results demonstrated that both mutations and recombination events could contribute to the genetic diversity of the Italian isolates.

Genetic recombination among tomato yellow leaf curl virus isolates in commercial tomato crops in Kuwait drives emergence of virus diversity: a comparative genomic analysis.

Project description:ObjectiveWhitefly-transmitted tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) continues to be a major constraint to tomato production in Kuwait. However, very limited information is available about the population structure and genetic diversity of TYLCV infecting tomato in Kuwait.ResultsWhole genome sequences of 31 isolates of TYLCV, collected from commercial tomato crops grown in northern (Abdally) and southern (Al Wafra) parts of Kuwait, were deciphered. Eighteen isolates of TYLCV are identified as potential genetic recombinants. The isolates Abdally 6A and Abdally 3B reported in this study were identified to be potential recombinants. Compared to the 15 isolates from the Abdally area, and the three previously reported KISR isolates of Kuwait, six out of sixteen Al Wafra isolates showed an insertion of 19 extra nucleotides near the 5'-end. There are also four nucleotide variations before the 19-extra-nucleotides. The additional 19 nucleotides observed in nine isolates indicate that these isolates might have resulted from a single gene recombination/insertion event. Molecular phylogeny based on complete genome sequences of TYLCV isolates suggests transboundary movement of virus isolates due to geographic proximity. The information presented herein is quite useful for the comprehension of TYLCV biology, epidemiology and would aid in the management of disease in the long run.

Phylogeny and Genetic Divergence among Sorghum Mosaic Virus Isolates Infecting Sugarcane.

Project description:Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV, the genus Potyvirus of the family Potyviridae) is a causal agent of common mosaic in sugarcane and poses a threat to the global sugar industry. In this study, a total of 901 sugarcane leaf samples with mosaic symptom were collected from eight provinces in China and were detected via RT-PCR using a primer pair specific to the SrMV coat protein (CP). These leaf samples included 839 samples from modern cultivars (Saccharum spp. hybrids) and 62 samples from chewing cane (S. officinarum). Among these, 632 out of 901 (70.1%) samples were tested positive for SrMV. The incidences of SrMV infection were 72.3% and 40.3% in modern cultivars and chewing cane, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all tested SrMV isolates were clustered into three clades consisting of six phylogenetic groups based on 306 CP sequences (this study = 265 and GenBank database = 41). A total of 10 SrMV isolates from South America (the United States and Argentina) along with 106 isolates from China were clustered in group D, while the remaining 190 SrMV isolates from Asia (China and Vietnam) were dispersed in five groups. The SrMV isolates in group F were limited to Yunnan province in China, and those in group A were spread over eight provinces. A significant genetic heterogeneity was elucidated in the nucleotide sequence identities of all SrMV CPs, ranging from 69.0% to 100%. A potential recombination event was postulated among SrMV isolates based on CP sequences. All tested SrMV CPs underwent dominant negative selection. Geographical isolation (South America vs. Asia) and host types (modern cultivars vs. chewing cane) are important factors promoting the genetic differentiation of SrMV populations. Overall, this study contributes to the global understanding of the genetic evolution of SrMV and provides a valuable resource for the epidemiology and management of the mosaic in sugarcane.

Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Analysis of Citrus tristeza virus Isolates from Turkey.

Project description:The presence of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) in Turkey has been known since the 1960s and the virus was detected in all citrus growing regions of the country. Even though serological and biological characteristics of CTV have been studied since the 1980s, molecular characteristics of CTV isolates have not been studied to date in Turkey. In this study, molecular characteristics of 15 CTV isolates collected from different citrus growing regions of Turkey were determined by amplification, cloning, and sequencing of their major coat protein (CP) genes. The sequence analysis showed that the CP genes were highly conserved among Turkish isolates. However, isolates from different regions showed more genetic variation than isolates from the same region. Turkish isolates were clustered into three phylogenetic groups showing no association with geographical origins, host, or symptoms induced in indicator plants. Phylogenetic analysis of Turkish isolates with isolates from different citrus growing regions of the world including well-characterized type isolates of previously established strain specific groups revealed that some Turkish isolates were closely related to severe quick decline or stem pitting isolates. The results demonstrated that although CTV isolates from Turkey are considered biologically mild, majority of them contain severe components potentially causing quick decline or stem pitting.
