Abstract
Lychnis mottle virus (LycMoV; genus Unassigned, family Secoviridae) infection of Angelica sinensis produces mottle and mosaic symptoms, damaging the host. Early detection of relevant pathogens is the most critical step in preventing the potential transmission of infectious disease. Polyclonal antibodies with high potency and high specificity were prepared using the recombinant LycMoV capsid protein as an antigen. Here, we developed and optimized a rapid colloidal gold immunochromatography assay (GICA) detection system for LycMoV using this antibody. Under optimum conditions, GICA specifically detected (up to 10,000-fold) positive LycMoV samples. A real-time reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) system was also established by selecting the primers with high sensitivity and specificity to LycMoV. The RT-LAMP detection threshold was 1.42 fg/μl (291 copies/μl). A GICA-RT-LAMP assay system was further established and optimized. The minimum GICA detection line was calculated at 1.52 × 10-2 ng/μl. Although GICA did not detect positive samples after capturing virus at 2.53 × 10-3 ng/μl, GICA-LAMP and GICA-RT-PCR did, whose sensitivity was comparatively greater than sixfold. This is the first report showing that GICA-RT-LAMP is a cost-effective approach for use in detecting LycMoV without extracting nucleic acids. These sensitive assays will help improve virus disease management in A. sinensis crops.

High-throughput detection of a large set of viruses and viroids of pome and stone fruit trees by multiplex PCR-based amplicon sequencing. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1072768. [PMID: 36578329 PMCID: PMC9791224 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1072768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
A comprehensive diagnostic method of known plant viruses and viroids is necessary to provide an accurate phytosanitary status of fruit trees. However, most widely used detection methods have a small limit on either the number of targeted viruses/viroids or the number of samples to be evaluated at a time, hampering the ability to rapidly scale up the test capacity. Here we report that by combining the power of high multiplexing PCR (499 primer pairs) of small amplicons (120-135bp), targeting 27 viruses and 7 viroids of fruit trees, followed by a single high-throughput sequencing (HTS) run, we accurately diagnosed the viruses and viroids on as many as 123 pome and stone fruit tree samples. We compared the accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility of this approach and contrast it with other detection methods including HTS of total RNA (RNA-Seq) and individual RT-qPCR for every fruit tree virus or viroid under the study. We argue that this robust and high-throughput cost-effective diagnostic tool will enhance the viral/viroid knowledge of fruit trees while increasing the capacity for large scale diagnostics. This approach can also be adopted for the detection of multiple viruses and viroids in other crops.

Abstract
Cycas necrotic stunt virus (CNSV) has an extensive host range and is detected in an accelerated pace around the globe in several agricultural crops. One of the plant species affected is peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.). The virus is asymptomatic in most peony cultivars, but there have been reports of symptoms in others. It is thus important to study CNSV and its population structure to gain insights into its evolution and epidemiology. The outputs of this study, in addition to the in-depth analysis of the virus population structure, include the development of a multiplex RT-PCR detection protocol that can amplify all published CNSV isolate sequences; allowing for accurate, reliable detection of the virus and safeguarding its susceptible, clonally-propagated hosts.
