Characterization of defective RNAs derived from RNA 3 of the Fny strain of cucumber mosaic cucumovirus.

ABSTRACT: Two defective RNAs (designated D RNA 3 alpha and D RNA 3 beta) were found to be associated with the Fny strain of cucumber mosaic cucumovirus but not with the Sny strain after serial passages in a tobacco host. The D RNAs were derived from RNA 3 by single, in-frame deletions within the 3a open reading frame. A full-length cDNA clone from which biologically active transcripts can be produced in vitro has been constructed for D RNA 3 beta. This transcript can be replicated in tobacco plants infected with subgroup I and II cucumber mosaic cucumovirus strains and with peanut stunt cucumovirus. Translation of D RNA 3 beta in vitro produced a 20-kDa peptide, which was consistent with the predicted coding capacity of the deleted 3a open reading frame. D RNA 3 beta was also associated with polyribosomes isolated from infected tobacco plants. The presence of the D RNAs had no apparent effect upon helper virus yield or symptom production.

Project description:Plectranthus barbatus also known by the synonym Coleus forskohlii it is called as forskohlii and Indian coleus. It is a tropical perennial herb belongs to the family Lamiaceae widely cultivated in India used as traditional medicinal crop. Its tuberous roots produce forskolin, an extract useful for pharmaceutical preparations and research in cell biology. The incidence of mosaic with dark and light green patches, mottling, leaf distortion and reduction growth was noticed in commercial cultivation of coleus. For identification of the virus, the infected leaf sample extract was mechanically inoculated to different hosts such as chilli, tobacco, tomato, cucumber, cowpea and Chenopodium amaranticolor. Host range studies revealed that the virus showed severe mosaic symptoms on Nicotiana spp. and Cucumis spp. The virus produced systemic and local lesion symptoms in a different host. The Leaf dip preparation of virus infected leaf extract was observed under an electron microscope showed the presence of isometric particles of 28 nm in size. The healthy and infected samples were tested using DAC-ELISA against antibodies of CMV, GBNV and TSV the infected samples showed strong positive reaction with 1.85 optical density to CMV antibodies indicated the presence of CMV. For molecular identification, total RNA was isolated and used for RT-PCR amplification using CMV specific primers. RT-PCR resulted in the positive amplification in virus infected samples but not from a healthy control. The complete genome of CMV RNA-1 consists of 3360 nucleotides (nt) encoding replicase gene of 807 amino acids (aa). The CMV RNA-2 was 2983 nt in length containing 2a (859 aa) encoding RNA dependent RNA polymerase protein and 2b encoding viral silencing suppressor (112 aa), while RNA-3 encoding 3a movement protein (280 aa) and coat protein (219 aa) was 2223 nt in length. Phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequences of coleus CMV isolate is closely related to subgroup IB than to subgroup IA or II with other CMV isolates. In recombination analysis, the recombination event occurs between the subgroups of I, II as well as IA and IB in RNA 1, RNA2 and RNA3 of coleus isolate with other CMV isolates. To best of our knowledge, this is the first report of CMV infection in coleus.
