RESUMO

Since 1948, pale yellow wheat spike have been reported in southern Brazil. This symptom was associated with tenuiviruses due to the observation of cytoplasmic inclusions constituted by a mass of filamentous particles (7-10 nm in diameter) with indeterminate length, identical to those found in "leaf dip" preparations. Such symptoms are still seen in wheat crops; however, there is a lack of information regarding this pathosystem. Decades after the first report, the first sequences of wheat white spike virus were characterized. Wheat plants with symptoms such as pale yellowing, chlorotic streaks, and leaf mosaic were collected in Paraná State, Southern Brazil. High-throughput sequencing was used to determine the nearly complete nucleotide sequence of the viral genome. The genome is composed of five RNAs with a total size of 18,129 nucleotides, with eight open reading frames (ORFs). The virus identified in this study can be included in a new species in the family Phenuiviridae, genus Tenuivirus, and we have tentatively named this virus "wheat white spike virus".

RESUMO

The rice stripe necrosis virus (RSNV) has been reported to infect rice in several countries in Africa and South America, but limited genomic data are currently publicly available. Here, eleven RSNV genomes were entirely sequenced, including the first corpus of RSNV genomes of African isolates. The genetic variability was differently distributed along the two genomic segments. The segment RNA1, within which clusters of polymorphisms were identified, showed a higher nucleotidic variability than did the beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) RNA1 segment. The diversity patterns of both viruses were similar in the RNA2 segment, except for an in-frame insertion of 243 nucleotides located in the RSNV tgbp1 gene. Recombination events were detected into RNA1 and RNA2 segments, in particular in the two most divergent RSNV isolates from Colombia and Sierra Leone. In contrast to BNYVV, the RSNV molecular diversity had a geographical structure with two main RSNV lineages distributed in America and in Africa. Our data on the genetic diversity of RSNV revealed unexpected differences with BNYVV suggesting a complex evolutionary history of the genus Benyvirus.

RESUMO

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is an essential protagonist in host-pathogen interactions. Among the three classes of enzymes in the UPS, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 plays a dual role in viral pathogenesis; however, the role of insect E2s in interactions with plant viruses is unclear. Twenty E2-encoding genes in Laodelphax striatellus, the small brown planthopper, were identified and classified into 17 groups by transcriptomic and phylogenetic analysis. Full-length cDNAs of four LstrE2s (LstrE2 A/E/G2/H) were obtained by rapid-amplification of cDNA ends (RACE-PCR) analysis. Expression of the four LstrE2s showed tissue- and development-specific patterns. RT-qPCR analyses revealed that Rice stripe viruse (RSV) infection increased the level of LstrE2 A/E/G2/H. Further study indicated that repression of LstrE2 E via RNAi caused significant increases in the expression of RSV coat protein mRNA and protein levels. These findings suggest that LstrE2 E inhibits RSV accumulation in the planthopper body. Understanding the function of LstrE2 E in RSV accumulation may ultimately result in the development of novel antiviral strategies.

RESUMO

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) plays diverse roles in the animal kingdom. However, whether ACE plays an immune function against viral infection in vector insects is unclear. In this study, an ACE gene (LsACE) from the small brown planthopper was found to respond to Rice stripe virus (RSV) infection. The enzymatic activities of LsACE were characterized at different pH and temperature. Twenty planthopper proteins were found to interact with LsACE. RSV infection significantly upregulated LsACE expression in the testicle and fat body. When the expression of LsACE in viruliferous planthoppers was inhibited, the RNA level of the RSV SP gene was upregulated 2-fold in planthoppers, and all RSV genes showed higher RNA levels in the rice plants consumed by these planthoppers, leading to a higher viral infection rate and disease rating index. These results indicate that LsACE plays a role in the immune response against RSV transmission by planthoppers.

RESUMO

Rice stripe virus (RSV) is an insect-borne tenuivirus of economical significance. It is endemic to the rice-growing regions of East Asia and exhibits more genetic diversity in Yunnan Province of China. To gain more insights into the molecular epidemiology and evolution of RSV, recombination analyses were conducted and potential events were detected in each of the four RNA segments of RSV. Bayesian coalescent method was then applied to the time-stamped coding sequences of the CP gene. The nucleotide substitution rate and the divergence time were estimated. Age calculations suggested that the first diversification event of the RSV isolates analyzed might take place in the early 20th century, and RSV has existed in Yunnan long before notice. Surveys of codon usage variation showed that the RSV genes had influences other than mutational bias. In codon choice, RSV conformed to neither vector small brown planthopper nor host rice, although the former exerted a more dominant influence on shaping codon usage pattern of RSV. In addition, CpG dinucleotide deficiency was observed in RSV.

RESUMO

Rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV, Tenuivirus) recently emerged on rice in Vietnam, causing high yield losses during 2006-2009. The genetic diversity of RGSV is poorly documented. In this study, the two genes encoded by each ambisense segment RNA3 and RNA5 of RGSV isolates from six provinces of South Vietnam were sequenced. P3 and Pc3 (RNA3) have unknown function, P5 (RNA5) encodes the putative silencing suppressor, and Pc5 (RNA5) encodes the nucleocapsid protein (N). The sequences of 17 Vietnamese isolates were compared with reference isolates from North and South Philippines. The average nucleotide diversity among the isolates was low. We confirmed a higher variability of RNA3 than RNA5 and Pc3 than P3. No relationships between the genetic diversity and the geographic distribution of RGSV isolates could be ascertained, likely because of the long-distance migration of the insect vector. This data will contribute to a better understanding on the RGSV epidemiology in South Vietnam, a prerequisite for further management of the disease and rice breeding for resistance.

RESUMO

Uno de los elementos imprescindibles en la ingeniería genética de plantas es un sistema de selección eficiente. El propósito de este trabajo fue evaluar la sensibilidad al marcador de selección higromicina B, de callos embriogénicos obtenidos a partir del escutelo de semilla de tres variedades colombianas de arroz (FEDEARROZ 2000, FEDEARROZ 50 y FEDEARROZ 369). Además, se validó la respuesta de estas variedades al protocolo de regeneración empleado. Se probaron cuatro concentraciones del antibiótico (25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 75 mg/L y 100 mg/L) más un control sin higromicina B. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que una concentración de 50 mg/L de antibiótico en el medio de regeneración es adecuada para la selección. Con esta concentración se impide la formación de brotes, aunque los callos no mueren completamente. Por otra parte, se estableció que el protocolo de regeneración utilizado es de baja eficiencia y, por consiguiente, es necesario optimizarlo para poder usarlo en procesos de ingeniería genética de cultivares colombianos de arroz.


An efficient selection system is one of the most important elements of plant genetic engineering. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of scutellum-derived embriogenic calli obtained from three colombian rice varieties (FEDEARROZ 2000, FEDEARROZ 50 and FEDEARROZ 369), to the selection marker hygromycin B. Aditionally, the response of these varieties to the regeneration protocol was measured. Four antibiotic concentrations were tested (25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 75 mg/L and 100 mg/L) plus one control without hygromycin B. The results show that 50 mg/L of antibiotic in the regeneration medium is adequate for selection. This concentration prevents the formation of shoots, though the calli do not die. It was also established that the regeneration protocol is a low-efficiency system and it needs to be improved, in order to use it for colombian rice genetic engineering.

RESUMO

Rice stripe virus (RSV) is one of the most economically important pathogens of rice and is repeatedly epidemic in China, Japan and Korea. The most recent outbreak of RSV in eastern China in 2000 caused significant losses and raised serious concerns. In this paper, we provide a genotyping profile of RSV field isolates and describe the population structure of RSV in China, based on the nucleotide sequences of isolates collected from different geographical regions during 1997-2004. RSV isolates could be divided into two or three subtypes, depending on which gene was analysed. The genetic distances between subtypes range from 0.050 to 0.067. The population from eastern China is composed only of subtype I/IB isolates. In contrast, the population from Yunnan province (southwest China) is composed mainly of subtype II isolates, but also contains a small proportion of subtype I/IB isolates and subtype IA isolates. However, subpopulations collected from different districts in eastern China or Yunnan province are not genetically differentiated and show frequent gene flow. RSV genes were found to be under strong negative selection. Our data suggest that the most recent outbreak of RSV in eastern China was not due to the invasion of new RSV subtype(s). The evolutionary processes contributing to the observed genetic diversity and population structure are discussed.

RESUMO

The full lengths of three genome segments of Iranian wheat stripe virus (IWSV) were amplified by reverse transcription (RT) followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a primer complementary to tenuivirus conserved terminal sequences. The segments were sequenced and found to comprise 3469, 2337, and 1831 nt, respectively. The gene organization of these segments is similar to that of other known tenuiviruses, each displaying an ambisense coding strategy. IWSV segments, however, are different from those of other viruses with respect to the number of nucleotides and deduced amino acid sequence for each ORF. Depending on the segment, the first 16-22 nt at the 5' end and the first 16 nt at the 3' end are highly conserved among IWSV and rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV), rice stripe virus (RSV) and maize stripe virus (MStV). In addition, the first 15-18 nt at the 5' end are complementary to the first 16-18 nt at the 3' end. Phylogenetic analyses showed close similarity and a common ancestor for IWSV, RHBV, and Echinochloa hoja blanca virus (EHBV). These findings confirm the position of IWSV as a distinct species in the genus Tenuivirus.
