Transovarial Transmission of Dolichos Yellow Mosaic Virus by Its Vector, Bemisia tabaci Asia II 1

ABSTRACT: The cultivation of dolichos bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] has been severely affected by dolichos yellow mosaic virus (DoYMV, Begomovirus) transmitted by whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). We tested the transovarial transmission of DoYMV in next-generation B. tabaci by PCR, real-time PCR, Southern blot hybridization, and biological transmission. The eggs, laid by DoYMV-exposed B. tabaci, carry the virus in a unique pattern. Only the eggs laid in between 3 and 6 days post virus acquisition by a parent B. tabaci were DoYMV positive. When tested individually in real-time PCR, around 31–53% of the eggs carried the virus. The presence of DoYMV in ovaries and F1 eggs was further substantiated by the hybridization of a Cy3-conjugated nucleic acid probe complementary to the viral strand of DoYMV. Viral DNA was also detected in F1 adults and F2 eggs. B. tabaci progenies carried not only the DoYMV DNA but were also infective. The F1 adults transmitted DoYMV to all tested plants and produced strong yellow mosaic symptoms. An increase in viral copies from egg to nymphal stage indicated propagation of DoYMV in B. tabaci. However, the increase was for a short period and decreased thereafter. The present study provides the first evidence of transovarial transmission and propagation of a bipartite begomovirus in its vector, B. tabaci Asia II 1. The transovarial transmission and replication of DoYMV in B. tabaci have great epidemiological relevance as B. tabaci can serve as a major host of the virus to bridge the gap between the cropping seasons.

Vector Transmission of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Thailand Virus by the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci: Circulative or Propagative?

Project description:Viruses that cause tomato yellow leaf curl disease are part of a group of viruses of the genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae. Tomato-infecting begomoviruses cause epidemics in tomato crops in tropical, subtropical, and Mediterranean climates, and they are exclusively transmitted by Bemisia tabaci in the field. The objective of the present study was to examine the transmission biology of the tomato yellow leaf curl Thailand virus (TYLCTHV) by B. tabaci, including virus-infected tissues, virus translocation, virus replication, and transovarial transmission. The results demonstrated that the virus translocates from the alimentary gut to the salivary glands via the hemolymph, without apparent replication when acquired by B. tabaci. Furthermore, the virus was detected in 10% of the first-generation progeny of viruliferous females, but the progeny was unable to cause the viral infection of host plants. There was no evidence of transovarial transmission of TYLCTHV in B. tabaci. When combined with the current literature, our results suggest that B. tabaci transmits TYLCTHV in a persistent-circulative mode. The present study enhances our understanding of virus-vector interaction and the transmission biology of TYLCTHV in B. tabaci.

The impact of insecticides and plant extracts on the suppression of insect vector (Bemisia tabaci) of Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV).

Project description:Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) is an important constraint in successful production of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) in many countries, including Pakistan. The MYMV spreads by insect vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius). The use of resistant cultivars is the most effective management tactics for MYMV. Twenty mungbean varieties/lines were screened against insect vector of MYMV under field condition in the current study. Resistance levels for varieties/lines were assessed through visual scoring of typical disease symptoms. Furthermore, the impacts of two insecticides 'Imidacloprid' and 'Thiamethoxam' and two plant extracts, i.e., neem (Azadirachta indica), and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) were tested on the suppression of whitefly. Field screening indicated that none of the tested varieties/lines proved immune/highly resistant, while significant variations were recorded among varieties/lines for resistance level. All varieties/lines were systemically infected with MYMV. The varieties 'AARI-2006' and 'Mung-14043' were considered as resistant to MYMV based on visual symptoms and the lowest vector population. These varieties were followed by 'NM-2006' and 'NL-31', which proved as moderately resistant to MYMV. All remaining varieties/lines were grouped as moderately to highly susceptible to MYMV based on visual symptoms' scoring. These results revealed that existing mungbean germplasm do not possess high resistance level MYMV. However, the lines showing higher resistance in the current study must be exploited in breeding programs for the development of resistant mungbean varieties/lines against MYMV. Imidacloprid proved as the most effective insecticide at all concentrations to manage whitefly population. Therefore, use of the varieties with higher resistance level and spraying Imidacloprid could lower the incidence of MYMV.

Transovarial transmission of tomato yellow leaf curl virus by seven species of the Bemisia tabaci complex indigenous to China: Not all whiteflies are the same.

Project description:Begomoviruses contain some of the most damaging viral disease agents of crops worldwide, and are transmitted by whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci species complex. During the last 20 years, transovarial transmission of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) has been reported in two invasive species of the B. tabaci complex. To further decipher the importance of this mode of transmission, we analyzed transovarial transmission of TYLCV by seven whitefly species indigenous to China. TYLCV virions were detected in eggs of all species except one, and in nymphs of two species, but in none of the ensuing adults of all seven species. Our results suggest that these indigenous whiteflies are unable to transmit TYLCV, a begomovirus alien to China, via ova to produce future generations of viruliferous adults, although most of the species exhibit varying ability to carry over the virus to the eggs/nymphs of their offspring via transovarial transmission.

Comparative transmission of Bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus by two cryptic species of the whitefly, <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).

Project description:The leaf sample from okra plants showing prominent yellow vein mosaic symptoms and healthy plant without any virus symptoms were collected from farmer's field. The presence of begomovirus in the infected sample was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the amplicons were cloned and sequenced. The genome analysis showed that the isolate in the present study had 99% nucleotide identity with Bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus (BYVMV) revealing it as BYVMV variant. The genetic species of Bemisia tabaci collected from fields were identified as Asia-1 and MEAM-1 genetic species based on silver leaf assay, sequence characterized amplified region marker, and mtCOI gene sequence. The comparative virus-vector relationship of both genetic species of B. tabaci indicates a minimum of two and three B. tabaci in MEAM-1 and Asia-1 genetic species, respectively, per plant were required to transmit the disease. The minimum acquisition access period and inoculation access period of 15 (MEAM-1) and 20 min (Asia-1) were required to transmit the YVMD; it was further confirmed by nucleic acid hybridization using coat protein gene-specific probe of BYVMV. With respect to the sex, the female B. tabaci were more efficient in transmitting the disease as compared to male ones in both the genetic species of B. tabaci. The MEAM-1 to transmit the BYVMV more efficiently than Asia-1 genetic species of B. tabaci.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus alters the host preferences of its vector Bemisia tabaci.

Project description:Bemisia tabaci, the whitefly vector of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), seriously reduces tomato production and quality. Here, we report the first evidence that infection by TYLCV alters the host preferences of invasive B. tabaci B (Middle East-Minor Asia 1) and Q (Mediterranean genetic group), in which TYLCV-free B. tabaci Q preferred to settle on TYLCV-infected tomato plants over healthy ones. TYLCV-free B. tabaci B, however, preferred healthy tomato plants to TYLCV-infected plants. In contrast, TYLCV-infected B. tabaci, either B or Q, did not exhibit a preference between TYLCV-infected and TYLCV-free tomato plants. Based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS)analysis of plant terpene volatiles, significantly more β-myrcene, thymene, β-phellandrene, caryophyllene, (+)-4-carene, and α-humulene were released from the TYLCV-free tomato plants than from the TYLCV-infected ones. The results indicate TYLCV can alter the host preferences of its vector Bemisia tabaci B and Q.

Molecular variation of tomato yellow leaf curl virus in the insect vector Bemisia tabaci.

Project description:Insect vectors play significant roles in geminivirus spread and evolution in nature. To date little is known about the population dynamics of begomoviruses in their insect vector Bemisia tabaci. In this study we analyzed the genetic variation of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) in its host plant, Solanum lycopersicum, in its transmission vector B. tabaci raised on TYLCV-infected S. lycopersicum plants, and in B. tabaci after being transferred from S. lycopersicum to Gossypium hirsutum. We found that the levels of variability of TYLCV remained stable in S. lycopersicum plants, but increased significantly in both invasive and indigenous species of B. tabaci. We also presented evidence that the elevated mutation frequencies in TYLCV populations from vector whiteflies were caused mainly by mutations that occurred at several distinct sites within the TYLCV genome. Simultaneous introduction of mutations in the hot spots did not affect the ability of TYLCV to be transmitted by B. tabaci, but reduced its pathogenicity in both S. lycopersicum and Nicotiana benthamiana. Our findings provide new information on population variability of TYLCV in its insect vector, extending the knowledge of the influence of insect vector on plant virus population dynamics.

Topical Spray of dsRNA Induces Mortality and Inhibits Chilli Leaf Curl Virus Transmission by Bemisia tabaci Asia II 1.

Project description:Chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV; genus: Begomovirus), transmitted by Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in a persistent-circulative manner, is a major constraint in chilli production. The present study demonstrates for the first time that a topical spray of naked double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) on chilli plants causes mortality and inability to acquire and transmit ChiLCV in B. tabaci. dsRNA targeting heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) and fasciclin 2 (fas2) of B. tabaci Asia II 1 was first assessed under controlled conditions through oral delivery. Hsp70 and fas2 dsRNA resulted in up to 82.22% and 72% mortality of B. tabaci and around 12.4- and 8.5-fold decreases in mRNA levels, respectively, 24 h post-ingestion. ChiLCV copies in hsp70 dsRNA-fed B. tabaci steadily decreased with an increase in dsRNA concentration and were undetectable at a higher concentration of dsRNA. However, ChiLCV copies significantly increased in fas2 dsRNA-fed B. tabaci. Transmission of ChiLCV by B. tabaci was completely inhibited post-24 h feeding on hsp70 dsRNA at 3 μg/mL. Naked hsp70 dsRNA was topically sprayed on ChiLCV-infected chilli plants like an insecticide. 67.77% mortality of B. tabaci, 4.6-fold downregulation of hsp70 mRNA, and 1.34 × 1015-fold decreased ChiLCV copies in B. tabaci were recorded when adults were exposed to the dsRNA-treated plants under semi-field conditions. Foliar application of naked dsRNA reduced the ChiLCV transmission by 75% without any visible symptoms in the inoculated plants. A total of 2 consecutive sprays of dsRNA provided significant protection to B. tabaci for up to 20 days under semi-field conditions.

Dominance of Asia II 1 species of Bemisia tabaci in Pakistan and beyond.

Project description:Globally, Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is one of the most important insect pests of crops that causes huge economical losses. The current study was designed to exclusively screen the B. tabaci species in the cotton field of Pakistan during 2017-2020 and have to conduct comparative analysis of B. tabaci species in Asia where Asia II 1 has been reported. A total of 5142 B. tabaci sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (mtCO1) from Asian countries were analyzed to determine the species and their distribution in the region. Our analysis over time and space showed that Asia II 1 has gradually dominated over Asia 1 in Punjab Province and over both Asia 1 and MEAM1 in Sindh Province. Asia has been divided into three regions i.e., South Asia (2524 sequences), Southeast Asia (757 sequences) and East Asia (1569 sequences) and dominance of different species of B. tabaci has been determined by calculating the relative percentage of each species. Interestingly, Asia II 1 has been found dominant in the neighboring region (northern zone) of India and also being dominant in its central zone. The dominance of Asia II 1 in Pakistan and northern India explains whitefly epidemic being reported in recent years.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus: No evidence for replication in the insect vector Bemisia tabaci.

Project description:Begomovirus ssDNA plant virus (family Geminiviridae) replication within the Bemisia tabaci vector is controversial. Transovarial transmission, alteration to whitefly biology, or detection of viral transcripts in the vector are proposed as indirect evidence of replication of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Recently, contrasting direct evidence has been reported regarding the capacity of TYLCV to replicate within individuals of B. tabaci based on quantitave PCR approaches. Time-course experiments to quantify complementary and virion sense viral nucleic acid accumulation within B. tabaci using a recently implemented two step qPCR procedure revealed that viral DNA quantities did not increase for time points up to 96 hours after acquisition of the virus. Our findings do not support a recent report claiming TYLCV replication in individuals of B. tabaci.

Evidence of seed transmission of dolichos yellow mosaic virus, a begomovirus infecting lablab-bean in India.

Project description:Yellow mosaic disease in field bean caused by begomoviruses belonging to the family Geminiviridae is a major threat to the cultivation of crop in South India. Appearance of bright yellow mosaic symptom in emerging seedlings in farmers field was suggestive of seed transmission of the begomovirus associated with the disease which was investigated in the present study. The begomovirus causing yellow mosaic disease was identified as dolichos yellow mosaic virus (DoYMV) and the presence of DoYMV in matured seeds was confirmed by DAS-ELISA with OD value up to 3.268. In PCR with DoYMV specific primer (DoYMV-CP) the virus was detected in different parts of the seeds viz., seed coat, endosperm and embryo. In embryo the virus was detectable up to 100 per cent followed by endosperm (69.23%). When the non symptomatic leaves of 30 days old grow-out test plants were subjected to DAS-ELISA, the virus was detected up to 46.6%. This is the first evidence of seed transmission of DoYMV.
