Characterization of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) subgroup IB infecting chilli in Tamil Nadu, India.

ABSTRACT: CMV (cucumber mosaic virus) is the most primitive virus infecting chilli (Capsicum annuum. L). The mosaic incidence with leaf filiformity, mosaic mottling and stunted growth was observed in major chilli growing regions of Tamil Nadu. CMV sap was inoculated on chilli, cowpea, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, banana, cucumber, Nicotiana and Chenopodium plants. Host range studies revealed that CMV produced localized infection on Nicotiana and systemic symptoms on most of the test plants. The occurrence of CMV was confirmed through DAC-ELISA and RT-PCR analysis. Host plant samples tested with DAC-ELISA showed strong reaction with 1.7 optical density. For molecular characterization, total RNA isolated from infected plants used in RT-PCR with CMV specific primers. The specific amplicons were cloned and sequenced. The complete genome sequencing depicts CMV-RNA1 consist of 3339 nucleotides (nt), RNA2 and RNA3 with 3052nt and 2027nt respectively. Phylogenetic and nucleotide sequence analysis showed TN CMV isolates closely associated with subgroup IB rather than subgroup IA and II. Comparative sequence analysis indicates replicase protein to be more variable among five genes. CP sequence analysis showed 97-98 per cent identity with subgroup IB strains, 92-93 per cent identity with subgroup IA strains and 81-82 per cent identity with subgroup II strains. CMV-RNA3 was predicted to have recombination with Indian black pepper isolate (KU947031) between 165-505nt and Egyptian tomato isolate (KX014666) between 165-506nt positions.

Genome characterization and host range studies of <i>Cucumber mosaic virus</i> belonging to the Subgroup IB infecting chilli in India and screening of chilli genotypes for identification of resistance.

Project description:Chilli pepper is an important vegetable and spice crop grown worldwide. Chilli is susceptible to various pathogens, among them mosaic disease caused by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a major constraint for its production. Roving survey was carried out for mosaic disease assessment in chilli at 35 locations comprising five districts of south eastern Karnataka, which was later confirmed for the presence of different viruses in random samples by DAC-ELISA. Results revealed the prevalence of the disease caused by CMV up to 43.00% based on visual assessment. However, only in 64 samples out of 140 infected chilli samples showed CMV infection in DAC-ELISA and revealed the mixed infection of viruses. Mechanical sap inoculation of CMV-Ko isolate induced symptoms on chilli plants, which were similar to the symptoms observed in field. Complete genome sequence of CMV-Ko (RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3) isolate was amplified, cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis revealed that it shared 83.7-99.1% nucleotide (nt) identity with CMV subgroup IB isolates infecting different crops in India. Recombination analysis of CMV-Ko genome showed that, RNA1 and RNA2 had recombinant origin and not RNA3. Host range studies for CMV-Ko isolate showed its potential of infecting nine host plants out of 21 used for transmission. Fifty advanced chilli lines were screened against CMV-Ko isolate and 27 immune lines to CMV were identified, which can be utilized for management of disease caused by CMV in chilli.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13337-021-00713-3.

Molecular studies on tobacco streak virus (TSV) infecting cotton in Tamil Nadu, India.

Project description:Tobacco streak virus (TSV), the causal agent of cotton necrosis, is of emerging importance in the recent years. Unfortunately, all the cotton varieties and hybrids are susceptible to this virus. Cotton plants cultivated in different districts of Tamil Nadu were surveyed during 2014-2016. Samples collected from different locations confirmed the presence of TSV in cotton. TSV infection was confirmed by direct antigen coating-enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (DAC-ELISA), dot immuno binding assay (DIBA), and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The virus was morphologically confirmed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). TSV isolate collected from Coimbatore was sequenced to obtain the full-length genome. Full length analysis was done for RNA 1 and RNA 3, whereas there was problem in obtaining few nucleotides in 5' and 3' end in spite of using different primers. Critical domain search in the nucleotide sequences revealed the presence of characteristic viral methyl transferase domain and helicase domain (RNA 1), 'GDD' motif and 'DFSKFD' of viral replicase in RNA 2 and Zinc finger motif in RNA 3. Phylogenetic analysis reveals high nucleotide similarity with TSV isolates of India and USA.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-022-03437-3.

Complete sequence of RNA3 of Cucumber mosaic virus isolates infecting Gerbera jamesonii suggests its grouping under IB subgroup.

Project description:The complete RNA3 genome of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was amplified by RT-PCR from three infected gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) leaf samples exhibiting severe chlorotic mosaic and flower deformation symptoms. The amplicons obtained were cloned sequenced and deposited in GenBank under the accessions JN692495, JX913531 (from cv. Zingaro) and JX888093 (from cv. Silvester). These sequences shared 98-99 % identities to each other and with a strain of CMV-Banana reported from India, and 90-95 % identities with various strains of CMV reported worldwide. Phylogenetic analysis revealed their closest affinity with CMV-Banana strain, and close relationships with several other strains of CMV of subgroup IB. This study provides evidence of subgroup IB CMV causing severe chlorosis and flower deformation in two cultivars (Zingaro and Silvester) of G. jamesonii in India.

Vitamin D status in Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu, India.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Vitamin D has multifarious roles in maintenance of health and prevention of disease. The present study was undertaken to assess the vitamin D status of a rural adult south Indian population and to identify its associations with socioeconomic status and cultural practices. METHODS:Between June 2015 and July 2016, 424 healthy adults residing in Kattankulathur block in Tamil Nadu, India, provided venous blood samples and answered questions by personal interview. 25-hydroxy vitamin D was estimated by ELISA. RESULTS:Fifty nine (13.9%) of the 424 participants had 25OHD levels below 12?ng/mL (vitamin D deficient) and 175 (41.3%) had 25OHD levels between 12 to 20?ng/mL (vitamin D insufficiency). In univariate analysis, demographic factors associated with vitamin D status included education, occupation, socioeconomic class, and birthplace; lifestyle factors included sun exposure time, skin surface exposed to sunlight, use of sunscreen, awareness of vitamin D, and consumption of fish; and hygiene related factors included source of drinking water, availability of tap water at home, and closed toilet at home. In ordinal logistic regression, the following variables were found to be independently associated with vitamin D sufficiency: Duration of daily sun exposure below 30?min (Odds ratio 0.31, 95% confidence intervals 0.14-0.71, P?=?0.006), sun exposure 30-60?min (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.30-0.80, P?=?0.004), male gender (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.30-3.09, P?=?0.002), higher level of education (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.69-0.94, P?=?0.005), non-consumption of fatty fish (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.24-0.85, P?=?0.035) and presence of closed toilet system at home (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.37-0.93). CONCLUSION:VDD and VDI are highly prevalent in this rural Indian community. The study identifies socioeconomic and behavior patterns that negatively impact vitamin D sufficiency, thus providing a basis for targeted intervention.

Antibacterial activity of some actinomycetes from Tamil Nadu, India.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: To isolate novel actinomycetes and to evaluate their antibacterial activity. METHODS: Three soil samples were collected from Vengodu (village) in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. Actinomycetes were isolated using serial dilution and plating method on actinomycetes isolation agar. RESULTS: Totally 35 isolates were obtained on the basis of colony characteristics on actinomycetes isolation agar. All the isolates were screened for antibacterial activity by cross streak method. Medium and optimization of day were done for the potent strains using Nathan's agar well diffusion method. Isolation of bioactive compounds from significant active isolates was done by using different media. The most active isolate VAS 10 was identified as Actinobacterium Loyola PBT VAS 10 (accession No. JF501398) using 16s rRNA sequence method. The hexane, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and butanol extracts of VAS 10 were tested against bacteria. The maximum antibacterial activity was observed in dichloromethane and ethyl acetate; maximum zones of inhibition were observed against Enterococcus durans. The rRNA secondary structure and the restriction sites of Actinobacterium Loyola VAS 10 were predicted using Genebee and NEBCutter online tools respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that among the isolated actinomycetes, Actinobacterium Loyola PBT VAS 10 (accession No. JF501398) showed good antibacterial activity against the tested bacteria.

Heat Exposure among Adult Women in Rural Tamil Nadu, India.

Project description:Exposure to heat is associated with a substantial burden of disease and is an emerging issue in the context of climate change. Heat is of particular concern in India, which is one of the world's hottest countries and also most populous, where relatively little is known about personal heat exposure, particularly in rural areas. Here, we leverage data collected as part of a randomized controlled trial to describe personal temperature exposures of adult women (40-79 years of age) in rural Tamil Nadu. We also characterize measurement error in heat exposure assessment by comparing personal exposure measurements to the nearest ambient monitoring stations and to commonly used modeled temperature data products. We find that temperatures differ across individuals in the same area on the same day, sometimes by more than 5 °C within the same hour, and that some individuals experience sharp increases in heat exposure in the early morning or evening, potentially a result of cooking with solid fuels. We find somewhat stronger correlations between the personal exposure measurements and the modeled products than with ambient monitors. We did not find evidence of systematic biases, which indicates that adjusting for discrepancies between different exposure measurement methods is not straightforward.

Risk Factors for Hyperglycaemia in Pregnancy in Tamil Nadu, India.

Project description:IntroductionHyperglycaemia in pregnancy (HIP), i.e. gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and diabetes in pregnancy (DIP), increases the risk of various short- and long-term adverse outcomes. However, much remains to be understood about the role of different risk factors in development of HIP.ObjectiveThe aims of this observational study were to examine the role of potential risk factors for HIP, and to investigate whether any single or accumulated risk factor(s) could be used to predict HIP among women attending GDM screening at three centres in urban, semi-urban and rural Tamil Nadu, India.MethodologyPregnant women underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Data on potential risk factors was collected and analysed using logistical regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were calculated for significant risk factors and a risk factor scoring variable was constructed.ResultsHIP was prevalent in 18.9% of the study population (16.3% GDM; 2.6% DIP). Increasing age and BMI as well as having a mother only or both parents with diabetes were significant independent risk factors for HIP. Among women attending the rural health centre a doubling of income corresponded to an 80% increased risk of HIP (OR 1.80, 95%CI 1.10-2.93; p = 0.019), whereas it was not significantly associated with HIP among women attending the other health centres. The performance of the individual risk factors and the constructed scoring variable differed substantially between the three health centres, but none of them were good enough to discriminate between those with and without HIP.ConclusionsThe findings highlight the importance of socio-economic circumstances and intergenerational risk transmission in the occurrence of HIP as well as the need for universal screening.
