Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15558. [PMID: 37958540 PMCID: PMC10650655 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242115558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Aconitum carmichaelii is a herbaceous herb indigenous to China that has been cultivated for traditional medicine for centuries. Virus-like symptoms of A. carmichaelii plants were observed on leaves in some A. carmichaelii plantations in Zhanyi and Wuding Counties, Yunnan Province, southwest China. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) was performed on 28 symptomatic plants, and the results revealed infection with 11 viruses, including 2 novel viruses and 9 previously described viruses: Aconitum amalgavirus 1 (AcoAV-1), aconite virus A (AcVA), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), currant latent virus (CuLV), apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV), tobacco vein distorting virus (TVDV), and potato leafroll virus (PLRV). Two novel viruses tentatively named Aconitum potyvirus 1 and Aconitum betapartitivirus 1, were supported by sequence and phylogenetic analysis results of their genomes. We proposed the names Potyvirus aconiti and Betapartitivirus aconiti. RT-PCR assays of 142 plants revealed the predominance and widespread distribution of CMV, AcVA, and AcoPV-1 in plantations. The detection of isolates of CuLV, ASGV, ChiVMV, TSWV, TVDV, and PLRV infections for the first time in A. carmichaelii expands their known host ranges.

Abstract
A novel virus named Aconitum amalgavirus 1 (AcoAV-1) was identified in Chinese aconite (Aconitum carmichaelii) plants. The complete genome of AcoAV-1 is 3,370 nucleotides long, containing two partially overlapping open reading frames encoding a putative coat protein and a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, respectively. Its fusion protein shares 34.9%-50.7% amino acid sequence identity with other amalgaviruses. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this virus formed a clade with blueberry latent virus and four other related viruses, suggesting that it belongs to the genus Amalgavirus in the family Amalgaviridae.

Abstract
This study presents the development of a new correlative workflow to bridge the gap between electron microscopy imaging and genetic analysis of viruses. The workflow enables the assignment of genetic information to a specific biological entity by harnessing the nanodissection capability of focused ion beam (FIB). This correlative workflow is based on scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and FIB followed by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For this purpose, we studied the tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and the adenovirus that have significant impacts on plant integrity and human health, respectively. STEM imaging was used for the identification and localization of virus particles on a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grid followed by FIB milling of the desired region of interest. The final-milled product was subjected to genetic analysis by the PCR. The results prove that the FIB-milling process maintains the integrity of the genetic material as confirmed by the PCR. We demonstrate the identification of RNA and DNA viruses extracted from a few micrometers of an FIB-milled TEM grid. This workflow enables the genetic analysis of specifically imaged viral particles directly from heterogeneous clinical samples. In addition to viral diagnostics, the ability to isolate and to genetically identify specific submicrometer structures may prove valuable in additional fields, including subcellular organelle and granule research.

Abstract
A novel virus was identified in aconite (Aconitum carmichaelii Debx.) in China by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and tentatively named "aconite virus A" (AcVA). The genomic RNA of AcVA consists of 8,844 nucleotides, excluding the poly(A) at the 3' end. Analysis of the genomic organization of AcVA indicated that it possesses a genomic structure that is typical of carlaviruses and contains six putative open reading frames (ORFs). Pairwise analysis revealed that the replicase and coat protein of AcVA share the highest amino acid sequence identity (43.78% and 57.01%) with those of coleus vein necrosis virus (CVNV) and butterbur mosaic virus (ButMV), respectively. Based on the current classification criteria for carlaviruses, AcVA should be considered a distinct member of the genus Carlavirus.

A New Israeli Tobamovirus Isolate Infects Tomato Plants Harboring Tm-22 Resistance Genes. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0170429.

Abstract
An outbreak of a new disease infecting tomatoes occurred in October-November 2014 at the Ohad village in Southern Israel. Symptomatic plants showed a mosaic pattern on leaves accompanied occasionally by narrowing of leaves and yellow spotted fruit. The disease spread mechanically and rapidly reminiscent of tobamovirus infection. Epidemiological studies showed the spread of the disease in various growing areas, in the South and towards the Southeast and Northern parts of the country within a year. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis showed a single rod-like form characteristic to the Tobamovirus genus. We confirmed Koch’s postulates for the disease followed by partial host range determination and revealed that tomato cultivars certified to harbor the Tm-22 resistance gene are susceptible to the new viral disease. We further characterized the viral source of the disease using a range of antisera for serological detection and analyzed various virus genera and families for cross-reactivity with the virus. In addition, next generation sequencing of total small RNA was performed on two cultivars grown in two different locations. In samples collected from commercial cultivars across Israel, we found a single virus that caused the disease. The complete genome sequence of the new Israeli tobamovirus showed high sequence identity to the Jordanian isolate of tomato brown rugose fruit virus.

Abstract
Allium species are economically important crops in the Mediterranean basin. Viruses are among the most important pathogens affecting their yield and especially those belonging to the genera Potyvirus, Carlavirus, and Allexivirus. Members of the genus Potyvirus are usually the most abundant and cause most of the damage induced. Nevertheless, coinfections with different viruses are not scarce, especially in garlic, and can have synergistic effects that lead to even greater crop losses. Vegetative propagation of alliums and the transmission of most of their viruses by arthropod vectors have significantly contributed to their wide dissemination in the Mediterranean region and elsewhere in the world. Here, we review the general biological and molecular features, the epidemiology, incidence, and methods of diagnosis of the most widespread allium viruses in the basin. Control measures are proposed depending on the mode of propagation of the various alliums, the epidemiology of their viruses and the cultivation procedures adapted by the Mediterranean farmers. The importance of the production and use of virus-free propagative material in order to combat viral diseases of allium crops is especially highlighted. A final discussion focuses on the main shortages identified in the research area of allium viruses, and proposals are made for putative future developments.

Abstract
A virus identified as Passiflora latent virus (PLV) was isolated from passion fruit plants. Particle morphology, host range and serological properties suggested that this virus belongs to the genus Carlavirus. The complete genomic sequence of PLV was determined by sequencing overlapping cDNA fragments. The genome consisted of 8386 nt, excluding the poly (A) tail and contained six open reading frames, typical of carlaviruses. The overall similarities of the predicted amino acid sequence of PLV to those of other carlaviruses ranged from 25 to 73%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PLV was closely related to lily symptomless virus and blueberry scorch virus. This is the first report of the complete nucleotide sequence and genome structure of PLV.
