[PMID: 38440193 PMCID: PMC10909863 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2024.1306469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a significant fiber crop. Being a major contributor to the textile industry requires continuous care and attention. Cotton is subjected to various biotic and abiotic constraints. Among these, biotic factors including cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) are dominant. CLCuV is a notorious disease of cotton and is acquired, carried, and transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). A cotton plant affected with CLCuV may show a wide range of symptoms such as yellowing of leaves, thickening of veins, upward or downward curling, formation of enations, and stunted growth. Though there are many efforts to protect the crop from CLCuV, long-term results are not yet obtained as CLCuV strains are capable of mutating and overcoming plant resistance. However, systemic-induced resistance using a gene-based approach remained effective until new virulent strains of CLCuV (like Cotton Leaf Curl Burewala Virus and others) came into existence. Disease control by biological means and the development of CLCuV-resistant cotton varieties are in progress. In this review, we first discussed in detail the evolution of cotton and CLCuV strains, the transmission mechanism of CLCuV, the genetic architecture of CLCuV vectors, and the use of pathogen and nonpathogen-based approaches to control CLCuD. Next, we delineate the uses of cutting-edge technologies like genome editing (with a special focus on CRISPR-Cas), next-generation technologies, and their application in cotton genomics and speed breeding to develop CLCuD resistant cotton germplasm in a short time. Finally, we delve into the current obstacles related to cotton genome editing and explore forthcoming pathways for enhancing precision in genome editing through the utilization of advanced genome editing technologies. These endeavors aim to enhance cotton's resilience against CLCuD.

Random distribution of nucleotide polymorphism throughout the genome of tomato-infecting begomovirus species occurring in India: implication in PCR based diagnosis. Virusdisease 2022; 33:270-283. [PMID: 36277410 PMCID: PMC9481814 DOI: 10.1007/s13337-022-00785-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Multiple begomovirus species are known to cause leaf curl disease in tomato in India. In order to develop specific and generic PCR based diagnostics for the tomato-infecting begomoviruses, in this study, we attempted to design primers initially based on the multiple alignment of the complete genome sequence of DNA-A component. However, the specific nucleotide stretches adequate for preparing specific primers could not be obtained. Alternatively, the online Primer-BLAST tool that offers designing of target-specific PCR primers was attempted to prepare specific primers targeting three clones (DNA-A) of tomato-infecting begomovirus species (Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus, Tomato leaf curl Palampur virus and Tomato leaf curl Joydebpur virus) selected based on their sequence identity and phylogenetic relatedness. The primers derived from Primer-BLAST tool showed high level of cross-reaction among these begomovirus species and therefore were not able to differentiate these target begomovirus species. In order to understand the reason of cross-reactivity further sequence analysis revealed the high occurrence of single nucleotide variations (SNVs) compared to the multi-nucleotide stretches. There was no SNV hot-spot in the genome, rather the SNVs were randomly distributed throughout the genome of these begomovirus species. This pattern of nucleotide diversities among these tomato-infecting begomoviruses seriously implicated on developing specific PCR diagnostics. On the contrary, sequence analysis showed high sequence conservancy, which enabled to develop a generic PCR diagnostic for these begomoviruses. Our study, thus showed that the genome sequence diversity pattern among the tomato-infecting begomoviruses in India poses challenges in developing PCR based specific diagnostics.

Abstract
During 2017, leaf samples of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants exhibiting yellowing and curling symptoms were collected from Aceh province, Indonesia. These samples were used to isolate and sequence viral genomic DNA. Six isolates with complete DNA-A and DNA-B sequences of begomovirus were obtained, all of which showed >99% sequence identity to the others. DNA-A sequences shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity (89.3%-89.7%) with monopartite pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus 2 (PepYLCIV2) and the second-highest sequence identity (87.3%-87.4%) with bipartite pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV). The DNA-B sequences shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity (95%-97.5%) with PepYLCIV. Results of recombination analysis indicated that the novel begomovirus was a recombinant. In accordance with the guidelines for begomovirus species demarcation, these isolates should be assigned to a new species, and we have proposed the name ''pepper yellow leaf curl Aceh virus'' (PepYLCAV) for this virus.

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of tomato leaf curl Palampur virus, a bipartite begomovirus, associated with Cucumis sativus L. in Pakistan. 3 Biotech 2019; 9:204. [PMID: 31139535 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-019-1727-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Leaf samples of Cucumis Sativus L. (C. sativus) (Family; Cucurbitaceae) showing vein thickening, mild leaf curling and leaf enations were collected from the farmer's field. Amplification of the full-length viral molecules was performed through rolling circle amplification (RCA). Cloning of the full-length viral molecules was done through standard cloning procedure followed by sequencing. Sequence similarity analysis and phylogenetic studies showed that the virus associated with leaf curling and enations in C. sativus was a bipartite begomovirus, where DNA-A and DNA-B showed highest nucleotide sequence homology of 98% and 97% to tomato leaf curl Palampur virus (ToLCPMV) from India. Attempts to isolate betasatellites and alphasatellites through PCR using RCA product as template, did not result in any amplification. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree grouped DNA-A and B components with other isolates from India. SDT was used to find the pairwise identity scores of different sequences of ToLCPMV present in the database. Phylogenetic analysis showed that sequences of ToLCPMV DNA-A and B components in this study share high degree of homology with existing viruses and are isolates of ToLCPMV-India. Infectious molecules of both components (Accessions, MG252783 and MG252784, respectively) were constructed for infectivity analysis to fulfill the Koch's postulate. Infectivity analysis revealed that ToLCPMV DNA-A is infectious to model host plant Nicotiana benthamiana and viral accumulation was confirmed through Southern blot analysis. Accumulation of DNA-B was confirmed through PCR. Infectivity analysis was also conducted using the original host, C. sativus, but plants were unable to survive the agroinoculation. To our knowledge this is the first report of ToLCPMV associated with C. sativus L. in Pakistan.

Abstract
The emergence of begomovirus infection is one of the most important problems affecting production of a variety of vegetable crops worldwide. Infection by begomoviruses has been detected and spread rapidly on Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae plants in Indonesia. A rapid and simple detection assay for begomoviruses under field conditions for routine sampling of plants is needed. Primers for a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay were designed based on the sequences of three Indonesian begomoviruses, namely Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV), Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV), and Tomato yellow leaf curl Kanchanaburi virus (TYLCKaV), infecting Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae plants. LAMP assays using a Genelyzer™ III portable fluorometer with a toothpick method successfully detected these begomoviruses in infected melon, pepper, and eggplant samples. LAMP assays conducted during a field survey for detection of the three begomoviruses on 104 fresh leaves indicated that most of the samples were positive; the findings were confirmed by PCR using universal primers of begomovirus as a common detection method. These results demonstrate that this simple and rapid LAMP assay using a fluorometer portable device may be used to achieve real-time detection of begomoviruses under field conditions.

Abstract
Cotton crop has been severely affected by multiple begomoviruses in Pakistan and India. In our previous study, we found okra enation leaf curl virus (OELCuV), cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB) and cotton leaf curl Multan alphasatellite (CLCuMuA) infecting cotton in Pakistan. The current study was designed to investigate the infectivity of OELCuV and its ability to trans-replicate non-cognate CLCuMuB. Agro-infectious clones containing the partial tandem repeats of OELCuV and CLCuMuB were constructed and the infectivity assays were carried out through Agrobacterium mediated transformation in the model host species Nicotiana benthamiana under controlled conditions. The results showed that in the inoculated plants OELCuV alone can cause downward curling and yellowing of leaves with thickened veins. However, when co-inoculated with the non-cognate CLCuMuB it could functionally trans-replicate CLCuMuB resulting in a more severe phenotype. The expression of Pre-coat/V2 protein in the N. benthamiana plants through the potato virus X (PVX) system caused localized cell death after severe leaf curling in the infiltrated leaves. The tissue tropism of the virus was associated with the systemic development of a hypersensitive response (HR), which ultimately lead to the plant death. The results indicated the involvement of V2 protein in the pathogenicity of OELCuV and its ability to trigger the host defense machinery. This study also demonstrated the ability of OELCuV to trans-replicate CLCuMuB resulting in typical leaf curl disease symptoms in N. benthamiana.

Abstract
Sweepoviruses (a group of begomoviruses that infect plants in the family Convolvulaceae) have monopartite genomes that consist of a circular, single-stranded DNA molecule. Seventy-three complete genomic sequences of sweepoviruses were characterized from the sweet potato samples collected in China. Eight sweepovirus species, including two novel species with proposed names of Sweet potato leaf curl China virus 2 and Sweet potato leaf curl Sichuan virus 2, were identified among these samples. One species, Sweet potato leaf curl Canary virus, was first identified in China. Among the 13 identified strains of Chinese sweepoviruses, 4 were newly discovered. Sweet potato leaf curl virus had the highest frequency (53.4%) of occurrence in the sweet potato samples from China. The similarities among the 73 sweepovirus genomic sequences were between 77.6 and 100.0%. Multiple recombination events were identified, and 16 recombinant sequences were determined. Recombination was observed between different species and between different strains of the same species. Recombination breakpoints were mainly localized on the intergenic region and in three open reading frames (AC1, AV1, and AV2). This study is the first comprehensive report on the genetic diversity of sweepoviruses in China.

Abstract
The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is the vector of the cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD). Synergistic interactions between B. tabaci and CMGs have been hypothesized as a cause of whitefly "super-abundance," which has been a key factor behind the spread of the severe CMD pandemic through East and Central Africa. The current study investigated this hypothesis by conducting experiments with CMD-susceptible cassava varieties infected with different CMGs in both the north-western Lake Zone region (pandemic affected) and the eastern Coast Zone where CMD is less severe. Male and female pairs of B. tabaci were placed in clip cages for 48 h on plants of three cassava varieties at each of the two locations. There were significantly more eggs laid on CMG-infected than on CMG-free plants in the Lake Zone, whereas in Coast Zone, there were no significant differences. There were no significant differences in proportions, mortality, and development duration of immature stages of B. tabaci among virus states and cassava variety in the two locations. The overall number of eggs was significantly higher with longer development duration of the immature stages in the Lake than in the Coast Zone, whereas mortality was significantly higher in the Coast than in the Lake Zone. Based on these results, it is concluded that there was no net positive synergistic interaction between CMGs and B. tabaci for either lowland coastal or mid-altitude inland populations. Consequently, other factors seem more likely to be the cause of the "super-abundance," and require further investigation.

Abstract
The first epidemic of cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) in early 1990's in the Indian subcontinent was associated with several distinct begomoviruses along with a disease-specific betasatellite. Resistant cotton varieties were introduced in late 1990's but soon resistance was broken and was associated with a single recombinant begomovirus named Burewala strain of Cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus that lacks a full complement of a gene encoding a transcription activator protein (TrAP). In order to understand the ongoing changes in CLCuD complex in Pakistan, CLCuD affected plants from cotton fields at Vehari were collected. Illumina sequencing was used to assess the diversity of CLCuD complex. At least three distinct begomoviruses characterized from the first epidemic; Cotton leaf curl Multan virus, Cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus and Cotton leaf curl Alabad virus, several distinct species of alphasatellites and cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite were found associated with CLCuD. These viruses were also cloned and sequenced through Sanger sequencing to confirm the identity of the begomoviruses and that all clones possessed a full complement of the TrAP gene. A new strain of betasatellite was identified here and named CLCuMuBVeh. The implications of these findings in efforts to control CLCuD are discussed.

Abstract
An outbreak of a new disease occurred in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fields in northwest Argentina starting in the 2009-10 growing season and is still spreading steadily. The characteristic symptoms of the disease included slight leaf rolling and a bushy phenotype in the upper part of the plant. In this study, we determined the complete nucleotide sequences of two independent virus genomes isolated from cotton blue disease (CBD)-resistant and -susceptible cotton varieties. This virus genome comprised 5,866 nucleotides with an organization similar to that of the genus Polerovirus and was closely related to cotton leafroll dwarf virus, with protein identity ranging from 88 to 98%. The virus was subsequently transmitted to a CBD-resistant cotton variety using Aphis gossypii and symptoms were successfully reproduced. To study the persistence of the virus, we analyzed symptomatic plants from CBD-resistant varieties from different cotton-growing fields between 2013 and 2015 and showed the presence of the same virus strain. In addition, a constructed full-length infectious cDNA clone from the virus caused disease symptoms in systemic leaves of CBD-resistant cotton plants. Altogether, the new leafroll disease in CBD-resistant cotton plants is caused by an atypical cotton leafroll dwarf virus.

Abstract
Samples of two Ageratum conyzoides, one Sonchus oleraceus and one turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) exhibiting virus-like symptoms were collected from Pakistan and Nepal. Full-length begomovirus clones were obtained from the four plant samples and betasatellite clones from three of these. The begomovirus sequences were shown to be isolates of Ageratum enation virus (AEV) with greater than 89.1% nucleotide sequence identity to the 26 AEV sequences available in the databases. The three betasatellite sequences were shown to be isolates of Ageratum yellow leaf curl betasatellite (AYLCB) with greater than 90% identity to the 18 AYLCB sequences available in the databases. The AEV sequences were shown to fall into two distinct strains, for which the names Nepal (consisting of isolates from Nepal, India, and Pakistan-including the isolates identified here) and India (isolates occurring only in India) strains are proposed. For the clones obtained from two AEV isolates, with their AYLCB, infectivity was shown by Agrobacterium-mediated inoculation to Nicotiana benthamiana, N. tabacum, Solanum lycopersicon and A. conyzoides. N. benthamiana plants infected with AEV alone or betasatellite alone showed no symptoms. N. benthamiana plants infected with AEV with its associated betasatellite showed leaf curl symptoms. The findings show that AEV is predominantly a virus of weeds that has the capacity to infect crops. AYLCB appears to be the common partner betasatellite of AEV and is associated with diseases with a range of very different symptoms in the same plant species. The inability to satisfy Koch's postulates with the cloned components of isolate SOL in A. conyzoides suggests that the etiology may be more complex than a single virus with a single betasatellite.

Abstract
Asystasia gangetica (Acanthaceae) from tropical Africa and Asia is used as source of food and for medical applications. Plants collected in West Africa in the 1980s with typical geminivirus symptoms showed an unusual symptom segregation that included vein yellowing, curling and mosaic, which were present simultaneously or separately on different leaves of the same plant or on different plants propagated as cuttings from a single plant. Rolling-circle amplification in combination with restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis followed by deep sequencing of the RCA products identified two geminiviruses in these plants. One with a bipartite genome, Asystasia begomovirus 1, and the other with a monopartite genome together with its defective DNA, Asystasia begomovirus 2. The relationship between leaf symptoms and virus distribution under different light regimes was investigated, and showed for the first time an unusual segregation of symptoms and viruses, either within a single plant, or even within a leaf.

Abstract
The incidence of watermelon chlorotic stunt disease and molecular characterization of the Palestinian isolate of Watermelon chlorotic stunt virus (WmCSV-[PAL]) are described in this study. Symptomatic leaf samples obtained from watermelon Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.), and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants were tested for WmCSV-[PAL] infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA). Disease incidence ranged between 25%-98% in watermelon fields in the studied area, 77% of leaf samples collected from Jenin were found to be mixed infected with WmCSV-[PAL] and SLCV. The full-length DNA-A and DNA-B genomes of WmCSV-[PAL] were amplified and sequenced, and the sequences were deposited in the GenBank. Sequence analysis of virus genomes showed that DNA-A and DNA-B had 97.6%-99.42% and 93.16%-98.26% nucleotide identity with other virus isolates in the region, respectively. Sequence analysis also revealed that the Palestinian isolate of WmCSV shared the highest nucleotide identity with an isolate from Israel suggesting that the virus was introduced to Palestine from Israel.

Abstract
The complete genome sequence of a new monopartite begomovirus isolate SC-1 was obtained from sweet potato samples in Sichuan province, China. The viral genome consists of 2,764 nucleotides (nt) and encodes two open reading frames (ORFs) called AV1 and AV2 genes in the viral-sense strand and four ORFs (AC1-AC4) in the complementary-sense strand. Sequence comparisons revealed that it shared the highest level of nt sequence identity (81.2 %) with Sweet potato leaf curl Georgia virus (AF326775). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the SC-1 genome was in a separate clade from other 29 begomovirus isolates. Thus, the SC-1 isolate is a novel species according to the demarcation criteria of species in the genus Begomovirus, for which the name "Sweet potato leaf curl China Sichuan Virus" (SPLCCSV) is proposed. Recombination analysis suggests that SPLCCSV has sequences derived from recombination between Sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV) isolate GZ01 (JX286653) and SPLCV isolate Merremia N4 (DQ644563).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tomato leaf curl Palampur virus (ToLCPMV) is a bipartite begomovirus which has been reported from India and Iran but infectious clones have not been obtained. We have previously shown the association of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), a potyvirus, with severe leaf curl disease of muskmelon in Pakistan. However, the severity of symptoms in the field and yield losses led us to believe that some other agent, such as a begomovirus, could be associated with the disease. RESULTS A bipartite begomovirus associated with a severe yellow leaf curl disease on muskmelon in Pakistan has been characterized. Analysis of the complete nucleotide sequence of the DNA A and DNA B components of the begomovirus showed that it has the highest DNA sequence identity with ToLCPMV. However, the gene encoding the nuclear shuttle protein (NSP) was truncated in comparison to previously characterised isolates. Agrobacterium-mediated inoculation of Nicotiana benthamiana with the ToLCPMV clones obtained here did not result in symptoms. However, inoculation of plants with the DNA A component of ToLCPMV and the DNA B component of Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) lead to systemic infection with leaf curl symptoms. This suggested that the lack of infectivity of the ToLCPMV clones was due to the defect in DNA B. The DNA B of ToLCPMV was able to move systemically when inoculated with DNA A of the either virus. Agro-infiltration of muskmelon with the DNA A and DNA B components of ToLCPMV did not lead to symptomatic infection whereas inoculation with the DNA A with the DNA B of ToLCNDV resulted in a hypersensitive response (HR) along the veins. Additionally, agro-infiltration of muskmelon with a construct for the expression of the NSP gene of ToLCNDV under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter induced a HR, suggesting that this is the gene causing the HR. CONCLUSIONS Both ToLCPMV and ZYMV are associated with muskmelon leaf curl disease in Pakistan. However, the ToLCPMV variant identified in association with ZYMV has a defective NSP. The results suggest that a variant with a defective NSP may have been selected for in muskmelon, as this protein is an avirulence determinant in this species, and possibly that infection requires the synergistic interaction with ZYMV.

Abstract
The complete sequences of a begomovirus and an associated betasatellite isolated from Croton bonplandianus originating from Pakistan were determined. The sequence of the begomovirus showed the highest level of nucleotide sequence identity (88.9%) to an isolate of papaya leaf curl virus and thus represents a new species, for which we propose the name Croton yellow vein virus (CYVV). The sequence of the betasatellite showed the highest levels of sequence identity (82 to 98.4%) to six sequences in the databases that have yet to be reported, followed by isolates of tomato leaf curl Joydebpur betasatellite (48.7 to 52.5%). This indicates that the betasatellite identified here (and the six sequences in the databases) is an isolate of a newly identified species for which the name Croton yellow vein mosaic betasatellite (CroYVMB) is proposed. For the begomovirus, an analysis of the sequence indicates that it has a recombinant origin.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence was determined for a begomovirus isolated from tomato exhibiting leaf curling and yellowing symptoms in Tochigi Prefecture in Japan. The genome organization of this virus was similar to those of other Old World monopartite begomoviruses. Neither a DNA betasatellite nor a DNA-B component was detected. It had the highest total nucleotide sequence identity (99%) with tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Israel[Japan:Tosa:2005] (TYLCV-IL[JR:Tos:05]) and TYLCV-Israel[Japan:Haruno:2005] (TYLCV-IL[JR:Han:05]). Its coat protein V1 also showed an identical amino acid sequence with those of TYLCV-IL[JR:Tos:05] and TYLCV-IL[JR:Han:05]. Thus, the begomovirus was determined to be an isolate of TYLCV-IL designated as TYLCV-Israel[Japan:Tochigi:2007] (TYLCV-IL[JR:Toc:07]). We investigated the interaction of TYLCV-IL[JR:Toc:07] with two known satellites associated with tomato yellow dwarf disease in Japan, tobacco leaf curl Japan betasatellite [Japan:Ibaraki:2006] and honeysuckle yellow vein mosaic betasatellite [Japan:Nara:2006], as well as with tomato leaf curl Philippines betasatellite [Philippines:Laguna1:2008], in tomato and Nicotiana benthamiana plants. TYLCV-IL[JR:Toc:07] trans-replicated these betasatellites, inducing more severe tomato yellow leaf curl disease-related symptoms than TYLCV-IL[JR:Toc:07] alone.

Abstract
Okra leaf curl disease (OLCD) is a major constraint on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) production in West Africa. Two monopartite begomoviruses (okra virus-1 and okra virus-2), a betasatellite and a DNA1 satellite are associated with OLCD in Mali. Okra virus-1 is an isolate of okra yellow crinkle virus (OYCrV), okra virus-2 is a recombinant isolate of cotton leaf curl Gezira virus (CLCuGV) and the betasatellite is a variant of cotton leaf curl Gezira betasatellite (CLCuGB). Cloned DNA of OYCrV and CLCuGV were infectious and induced leaf curl symptoms in Nicotiana benthamiana plants, but did not induce OLCD in okra. However, when these clones were individually co-inoculated with the cloned CLCuGB DNA, symptom severity and viral DNA levels were increased in N. benthamiana plants and typical OLCD symptoms were induced in okra. The CLCuGB was also replicated by, and increased symptom severity of, three monopartite tomato-infecting begomoviruses, including two from West Africa. The sequence of the DNA1 satellite was highly divergent, indicating that it represents a distinct West African lineage. DNA1 replicated autonomously, and replication required the DNA1-encoded Rep protein. Although DNA1 reduced helper begomovirus DNA levels, symptoms were not attenuated. In the presence of CLCuGB, DNA levels of the helper begomoviruses and DNA1 were substantially increased. Together, these findings establish that OLCD in Mali is caused by a complex of monopartite begomoviruses and a promiscuous betasatellite with an associated parasitic DNA1 satellite. These findings are discussed in terms of the aetiology of OLCD and the evolution of new begomovirus/satellite DNA complexes.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequences of begomoviruses from pepper with leaf curl and yellowing symptoms, tomato with leaf curl symptoms, and ageratum with yellow vein in Indonesia were determined. On the basis of genome organization and sequence homology, they were proposed to belong to a new species, Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCIV), which includes the new strains PepYLCIV-Tomato and PepYLCIV-Ageratum. These viruses had bipartite genomes. Pepper virus DNAs from Indonesia (PepYLCIV, PepYLCIV-Tomato and PepYLCIV-Ageratum DNA-As) were noticeably distinct, forming a separate branch from the viruses infecting pepper. Considerable divergence was observed in the common region (CR) of the genomic components of PepYLCIV (77%), PepYLCIV-Tomato (82%) and PeYLCIV-Ageratum (75%). A stem-loop-forming region and a Rep-binding motif were identical in the CR of the three viruses. The CRs of PepYLCIV-Ageratum DNA-A was approximately 10 nucleotides longer than that of PepYLCIV DNA-A and PepYLCIV-Tomato DNA-A. A similar insertion was also found in the CR of PepYLCIV-Ageratum DNA-B. PepYLCIV DNA-A alone was infectious in pepper and Nicotiana benthamiana plants, and association with DNA-B increased symptom severity.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequences of two begomoviruses (Nara virus-1 and Nara virus-2), a satellite DNA (DNAbeta-Nara) and defective DNAs were obtained from honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) showing characteristic yellow vein mosaic symptoms in Nara Prefecture, Japan. One begomovirus (Ibaraki virus) and a satellite DNA (DNAbeta-Ibaraki) was isolated and cloned from honeysuckle plants exhibited typical yellowing of veins and small elliptical shaped enations along veins on the under side of the leaves in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. The genome organization of the three viruses is the same as those of other Old World monopartite begomoviruses. Nara virus-1 had overall nucleotide sequence identity with Nara virus-2 of 94% and Ibaraki virus of 90%. DNAbeta-Nara had overall nucleotide sequence identity with DNAbeta-Ibaraki of 83%. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences with other begomoviruses revealed that Nara virus-1 and Nara virus-2 are strains of Honeysuckle yellow vein mosaic virus (HYVMV), hence named as HYVMV-Nara1 and HYVMV-Nara2, whereas Ibaraki virus was a strain of Tobacco leaf curl Japan virus (TbLCJV), designated as TbLCJV-Hs[Iba]. HYVMV-Nara1 and HYVMV-Nara2 have hybrid genomes, which are likely to have formed recombination between HYVMV and TbLCJV. TbLCJV-Hs[Iba] or HYVMV-Nara2 could infect and cause yellowing, leaf crinkling and stunting symptoms when partial tandem dimeric constructs were agroinoculated on tomato plants. However, in the presence of DNAbeta, both TbLCJV-Hs[Iba] or HYVMV-Nara2 produced more severe stunting symptoms in tomato plants. Therefore, these viruses along with their satellites are causal agents of tomato yellow dwarf disease in Japan, and honeysuckle acts as a potential reservoir host. Previously available evidence indicated that DNAbeta elements do not contain iteron sequences of their helper viruses; hence this is the first evidence that DNAbeta satellites have the iteron of their helper virus.

Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) growing in Uganda during 2001-2002 has been screened for the presence of begomoviruses using PCR-RFLP, cloning full-length genomic components and nucleotide sequence analysis. In contrast with a recent survey in neighbouring Kenya, which identified three distinct strains of East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV, EACMV-UG and EACMV-KE2) as well as East African cassava mosaic Zanzibar virus and the new species East African cassava mosaic Kenya virus, only EACMV-UG and, to a lesser extent, African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) were found associated with cassava in Uganda. The integrity of the cloned genomic components of representative virus isolates was confirmed by demonstrating their infectivity in Nicotiana benthamiana and cassava using biolistic inoculation, providing a convenient means to screen cassava varieties for disease resistance. Both EACMV-UG and ACMV were also associated with Manihot glaziovii. Infectivity studies using cloned components confirmed that viruses from one host could infect the other, suggesting that this wild relative of cassava might be a reservoir host for the disease. The relatively low level of diversity of begomoviruses associated with cassava mosaic disease in Uganda is consistent with reports that EACMV-UG has displaced other begomovirus species and strains during the recent epidemic that swept through the country.

Abstract
To facilitate efficient and accurate detection of potato-infecting carlaviruses, degenerated universal primers were designed based on conserved amino acid and nucleotide sequences. Two sense primers, Car-F1 and Car-F2, were based on the amino acid sequences "SNNMA" and "GLGVPTE", respectively, in the coat protein. The reverse primer, Car-R, which was located at the border of the nucleic acid binding protein gene and the 3' untranslated region, and dT-B, which was derived from the oligo-dT targeting the poly(A) tail, were selected. Successful application of fragments within the predicted size range of carlaviruses was obtained using Car-F1 paired with either Car-R or dT-B from tested carlaviruses (Potato virus S, M and latent) by RT-PCR. The Car-F2 failed to yield clear-cut fragments within the predicted size range when paired with either Car-R or dT-B in RT-PCR. However, a less degenerated version of the primer, Car-F2b, resulted in amplicons within the predicted size range when paired with either Car-R or dT-B. Sequencing of the tentative carlavirus-fragments resulting from Car-F1/Car-R and Car-F2b/dT-B proved their carlavirus-origin, thus indicating the high specificity of these primers. The sensitivity of Car-F1/Car-R or Car-F2b/Car-R mediated RT-PCR for the detection of carlavirus-infected potato tubers were assessed using composite samples containing one carlavirus-infected-potato-tuber RNA sample with up to 49 virus-free-potato-tuber RNA samples under the optimal annealing temperature. The target carlaviruses were detected readily from all composites, demonstrating a high sensitivity. The method was further evaluated using presumed virus-free or carlavirus-infected potatoes of several cultivars, and reliable results were obtained.

Abstract
To characterize a virus at the molecular and biological levels, it is necessary to produce an infectious clone. For most of the Geminiviridae, cloning of the genome is relatively easy because of their small genomes and the presence of the virus double-stranded (replicative) DNA form in infected plants. Indeed, the presence of conserved sequences between species in the genera Begomovirus, Curtovirus, and Topocuvirus allows the PCR amplification of most genomes using degenerate "universal" primers. Unlike the other genera, no universal primers are reported that are suitable for all mastreviruses and alternative, more time-consuming methods must be used. This chapter describes a method that has proven successful for the preparation and testing of infectious clones for a wide range of mastreviruses. It has been designed to ensure its applicability for laboratories throughout the world. Methods are presented for the isolation of total plant DNA and the purification of the replicative (cccDNA) form of the virus using a commercially available plasmid purification kit. Restriction enzyme digestion of the purified DNA using a restriction enzyme with a unique site in the viral genome allows the cloning of a full-length copy of the genome into a high copy number vector, thereby providing a template for sequence analysis and further cloning. The only efficient method for confirming infectivity of mastrevirus clones is using agroinoculation (also termed agroinfection). This requires the production of a multimeric copy of the genome in a T-DNA binary vector, transformation of specific Agrobacterium strains with the binary vector clone, and inoculation of specific regions of seedlings, or seeds, of the appropriate host species. These specific requirements are described and discussed.

Abstract
A relatively inexpensive protocol for the detection of genomic components of whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses in symptomatic legumes in the field is described. The method involves extraction with a modified CTAB buffer containing beta-mercaptoethanol upto 5% and sodium chloride concentration from 1.4 to 2.0M. Using this method PCR amplifiable DNA could be extracted from mature leaves of legume hosts rich in polyphenols, tannins and polysaccharides. The non-coding region and full-length DNA A, DNA B components of yellow mosaic viruses were consistently amplifiable from 97 samples, out of 136 tested in PCR reaction, employing primers specific for intergenic regions and full-length genome. The system is robust and the protocol is useful for the detection and identification of begomoviruses infecting grain legumes.

Abstract
A Sweet potato-infecting sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV) isolated in China was detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). PCR products amplified from DNA-A were cloned and sequenced. The isolates of SPLCV from China(SPLCV-CN)has a genome organization similar to that of monopartite begomoviruses. The DNA-A had two ORFs (AV1 and AV2) in the virion sense and four ORFs (AC1, AC2, AC3, and AC4) in the complementary sense, separated by an intergenic region (IR) containing a conserved stem-loop motif. Three incomplete direct repeat iterons were also found within the IR. The presence of AV2 ORF supports the relationship of SPLCV-CN to the Old World gemimiviruses. Sequence comparisons showed that the DNA-A sequence of SPLCV-CN were closely related to those of sweet potato leaf curl Georgia virus-[16] (SPLCGV-[16]), Ipomoea yellow vein virus (IYVV-SI), and sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV) with nucleotide sequence identity ranging from 88% to 91%. Comparison of individual encoded proteins between SPLCV-CN and that of three other SPLCV isolates showed the coat protein (AV1) shared the highest amino acid sequence identity (93%-96%), suggesting the coat protein of these viruses may have identical ancestor. The relationships between SPLCV-CN and other whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses were investigated by using phylogeny of derived AV1, AC1, and AV2 amino acid sequences. In all phylogenetic trees, SPLCV-CN clustered with three other isolates of SPLCV. The analyses revealed that the four isolates of SPLCV have coat proteins which are unique from its counterparts from both the Old World and New World. The present of AV2 and phylogenic analysis of AC1 suggest that SPLCV is more close to begomoviruses from the Old World but isolates of this virus seems to form a separate subset.

Abstract
A begomovirus (2747 nucleotides) and a satellite DNA beta component (1360 nucleotides) have been isolated from Ageratum conyzoides L. plants with yellow vein symptoms growing in Java, Indonesia. The begomovirus is most closely related to Tomato leaf curl Java virus (ToLCJV) (91 and 98% in the total nucleotide and coat protein amino acid sequences, respectively), although the products of ORFs C1 and C4 are more closely related to those of Ageratum yellow vein virus-[Java] (91 and 95% identity, respectively). For this reason, the begomovirus it is considered to be a strain of ToLCJV and is referred to as ToLCJV-Ageratum. The virus probably derives from a recombination event in which nucleotides 2389-2692 of ToLCJV have been replaced with the corresponding region of the AYVV-[Java] genome, which includes the 5' part of the intergenic region and the C1 and C4 ORFs. Infection of A. conyzoides with ToLCJV-Ageratum alone produced no symptoms, but co-infection with DNAbeta induced yellow vein symptoms. Symptoms induced in Nicotiana benthamiana by ToLCJV-Ageratum, ToLCJV and AYVV-[Java] are consistent with the exchange of pathogenicity determinant ORF C4 during recombination.

Abstract
Cassava is a major factor in food security across sub-Saharan Africa. However, the crop is susceptible to losses due to biotic stresses, in particular to viruses of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD). During the 1990s, an epidemic of CMD severely hindered cassava production across eastern and central Africa. A significant influence on the appearance of virus epidemics is virus diversity. Here, a survey of the genetic diversity of CMD-associated begomoviruses across the major cassava-growing areas of Kenya is described. Because an initial PCR-restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis identified a much greater diversity of viruses than assumed previously, representative members of the population were characterized by sequence analysis. The full-length sequences of 109 components (68 DNA-A and 41 DNA-B) were determined, representing isolates of East African cassava mosaic virus and East African cassava mosaic Zanzibar virus, as well as a novel begomovirus species for which the name East African cassava mosaic Kenya virus is proposed. The DNA-B components were much less diverse than their corresponding DNA-A components, but nonetheless segregated into western and eastern (coastal) groups. All virus species and strains encountered showed distinct geographical distributions, highlighting the importance of preventing both the movement of viruses between these regions and the importation of the disease from adjacent countries and islands in the Indian Ocean that would undoubtedly encourage further diversification.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Two begomoviruses (Java virus-1 and Java virus-2), two satellite DNAs (DNAbeta01 and DNAbeta02), and a recombinant DNA (recDNA) were cloned from a single tomato plant from Indonesia with leaf curl symptoms, and the role of these satellite DNAs in the etiology of begomovirus disease was investigated. The genome organizations of the two viruses were similar to those of other Old World monopartite begomoviruses. Comparison of the sequences with other begomoviruses revealed that Java virus-1 was a newly described virus for which the name Tomato leaf curl Java virus (ToLCJAV) is proposed. Java virus-2 was a strain of Ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV) (AYVV-[Java]). ToLCJAV or AYVV-[Java] alone did not induce leaf curl symptoms in tomato plants. However, in the presence of DNAbeta02, both ToLCJAV and AYVV-[Java] induced leaf curl symptoms in tomato plants. In the presence of DNAbeta01, these viruses induced mild leaf curl symptoms in tomato plants. The recDNA had a chimeric sequence, which arose from recombination among ToLCJAV, AYVV-[Java], DNAbeta01, and DNAbeta02; it was replicated only in the presence of AYVV-[Java] in tomato plants.

Abstract
Geminivirus infection of sweetpotato (Ipomoea spp.) germplasm acquired from foreign regions is common. Graft inoculation of the indicator host, Ipomoea setosa, is the accepted detection method for these viruses, but the assay is laborious and requires up to 8 weeks. When infected sweetpotato is subjected to meristem tip culture to eliminate these viruses, the eradication rate is low. In this study, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection assay was developed for the detection of geminiviruses in a variety of sweetpotato cultivars. Different methods were evaluated to extract nucleic acids suitable for PCR from Ipomoea spp., and a reliable and simple extraction method was developed for large-scale sample preparation. PCR products of the expected sizes were amplified from infected plants using degenerate and virus-specific primers, but not from noninoculated indicator plants. PCR assays using three primer pairs detected nine uncharacterized isolates of the geminiviruses in sweetpotato from Asia and America. However, the best PCR result was obtained with degenerate primers SPG1/SPG2, which detected a Taiwan isolate of Sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV-Taiwan) in a sample diluted to 10-9. Viral identities of three amplicons from SPLCV-Taiwan were confirmed by sequencing. The degenerate primers had a broader detection range than virus-specific primers; therefore, they were used to detect geminiviruses in in vitro plantlets and greenhouse-grown sweetpotato plants, and in several Ipomoea hosts. PCR was shown to be as reliable for virus detection as grafting.

Abstract
Begomoviruses are a major problem for common bean production in the tropics and subtropics of the Americas and the Caribbean. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer pairs and nucleic acid hybridization probes have been developed to differentiate five bean-infecting begomoviruses and were used to assay reference and field-collected bean samples from Florida, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Bean golden mosaic virus was found in Brazil, Bean calico mosaic virus in Mexico, and Bean golden yellow mosaic virus in Central America, the Caribbean, and Florida. Bean dwarf mosaic virus was not detected in any of the field samples. Tomato yellow leaf curl virus was found only in tomato samples from the Caribbean. These detection methods will provide tools to assist in the understanding of the epidemiology and diversity of geminiviruses as well as to facilitate resistance breeding, cultivar selection, and development of strategies for control.

Abstract
DNA 1 is a single-stranded DNA molecule of approximately 1370 nucleotides. It is associated with monopartite geminiviruses of the genus Begomovirus, which require a DNA beta component for symptomatic infection. The DNA 1 molecule requires the helper begomovirus for movement in plants, but is capable of self-replication. We designed two abutting primer pairs (DNA101/DNA102 and UN101/UN102) to conserved sequences of DNA 1. This allowed polymerase chain reaction-mediated amplification of the full-length molecule from total nucleic acid extracts produced from various host plants from geographically distinct, worldwide locations. These primers are useful both as diagnostic probes and for producing full-length infectious clones for in planta studies.

Abstract
Cassava mosaic disease is an enormous problem affecting the viability and productivity of cassava in all the developing regions in Africa. The disease is now known to be caused by a number of cassava-infecting begomoviruses. New viruses and viral strains continue to be discovered and due to the lack of cloning and sequencing facilities in many African laboratories, a simple, rapid and sensitive technique is needed for screening of cassava plantations. Here we report on the development of a heteroduplex mobility assay (HMA) which could be used for the testing of viral-infected cassava. The assay involves amplifying the highly conserved core region of the coat protein gene of field isolates followed by denaturing and annealing with a number of reference strains. The HMA profiles in this study were able to differentiate four different viral species and 11 different virus strains, and showed a good correlation with sequencing results and phylogenetic comparisons with other sequenced cassava viruses. This technique is sensitive and rapid and has the added advantage of being able to detect mixtures of viruses in field-grown cassava.

Abstract
Cotton is one of the most important crops of Pakistan, accounting for over 60% of foreign exchange earnings. The present epidemic of cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) originated in the Punjab region near the city of Multan and was first reported in 1985, although it was noted in this region as early as 1967. By the early 1990s, CLCuD had become the major limitation to cotton production in Pakistan and it has now spread into India and, more recently, south and west into other provinces of Pakistan. The very characteristic symptoms include leaf curling, darkened veins, vein swelling and enations that frequently develop into cup-shaped, leaf-like structures on the undersides of leaves. Identification of the vector of CLCuD as the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) quickly led to the suggestion that the causative agent of the disease is a geminivirus. Researchers soon confirmed the presence of such a virus that is currently ascribed to the genus Begomovirus of the family Geminiviridae, However, in 1999, the aetiology of the disease was shown to be more complex than was originally assumed. Despite the identification of both a begomovirus and a so-called nanovirus-like component, the precise causal agent of CLCuD remains uncertain.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Sixangle foldwing, Dicliptera sexangularis (Acanthaceae), showing severe yellow mottle and leaf distortion symptoms was collected from the shoreline of Calusa Island (Lee County, FL). The putative virus was transmitted from infected D. sexangularis to healthy seedlings by mechanical, whitefly (Bemisia tabaci biotype B), and graft-inoculations. Different forms of geminivirus-like DNAs were detected in total DNA extracted from infected plants by Southern blot hybridization analyses using DNA-A and -B of Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) from Guatemala as probes. Preliminary polymerase chain reaction experiments and sequence comparisons indicated that the virus was a distinct bipartite begomovirus. The virus was designated Dicliptera yellow mottle virus (DiYMV). Replicative dsDNAs of DiYMV were extracted, digested with selected restriction enzymes, and cloned into a plasmid vector. Both DNA-A and -B were sequenced and compared with those of other begomoviruses. Phylogenetic analyses using AV1, AC1, and BV1 nucleotide sequences indicated that DiYMV has a close relationship with the New World begomoviruses, especially those distributed in the nearby geographic areas of the Florida coast and the Caribbean Basin. However, different percent nucleotide sequence identities and phylogenetic relationships were detected when different open reading frames (ORFs) of DiYMV were compared with their counterparts from begomoviruses from the Caribbean Basin. Based on phylogenetic analyses of the AC1 and BV1 ORFs, DiYMV was closely related to BGMV type II isolates, whereas sequence comparisons of the common region and the AC4-derived amino acid sequences indicated its close relationship with Potato yellow mosaic virus from Venezuela.

Abstract
The causative agent of cotton leaf curl disease has previously been shown to be transmissible by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and a begomovirus (Geminiviridae) was shown to be associated with the disease. This virus was provisionally called cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) although no causal relationship between virus and disease was shown. In the present study full-length clones of CLCuV, equivalent to the DNA A component of bipartite begomoviruses, were obtained. The clones of CLCuV were systemically infectious to both Nicotiana benthamiana and cotton. Infected plants did not exhibit symptoms characteristic of cotton leaf curl disease, producing mild leaf curling, yellowing and some stunting. Efforts to identify a second genomic component were not successful. These findings suggest that the begomovirus, CLCuV, is not or not the sole cause of cotton leaf curl disease. The transmission of cotton leaf curl disease by B. tabaci, however, may indicate that the begomovirus plays a part in the transmission of the disease. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract
A new method is described for identifying short regions of sequence similarity in a group of selected sequences. These regions have been used for the design of both specific and degenerate PCR primers for the detection of groups of plant viruses, but the method has wider applications. The method is an extension of the GCG programs COMPARE and DOTPLOT, so the name "dot primers" is suggested as a generic term for primers designed in this way. The method described is more direct and more efficient than current methods that use sequence alignment algorithms.
