Abstract
Upon acquisition of persistent circulative viruses such as poleroviruses, the virus particles transcytose through membrane barriers of aphids at the midgut and salivary glands via hemolymph. Such intricate interactions can influence aphid behavior and fitness and induce associated gene expression in viruliferous aphids. Differential gene expression can be evaluated by omics approaches such as transcriptomics. Previously conducted aphid transcriptome studies used only one host species as the source of virus inoculum. Viruses typically have alternate hosts. Hence, it is not clear how alternate hosts infected with the same virus isolate alter gene expression in viruliferous vectors. To address the question, this study conducted a transcriptome analysis of viruliferous aphids that acquired the virus from different host species. A polerovirus, cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV), which induced gene expression in the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, was assessed using four alternate hosts, viz., cotton, hibiscus, okra, and prickly sida. Among a total of 2,942 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 750, 310, 1,193, and 689 genes were identified in A. gossypii that acquired CLRDV from infected cotton, hibiscus, okra, and prickly sida, respectively, compared with non-viruliferous aphids that developed on non-infected hosts. A higher proportion of aphid genes were overexpressed than underexpressed following CLRDV acquisition from cotton, hibiscus, and prickly sida. In contrast, more aphid genes were underexpressed than overexpressed following CLRDV acquisition from okra plants. Only four common DEGs (heat shock protein, juvenile hormone acid O-methyltransferase, and two unannotated genes) were identified among viruliferous aphids from four alternate hosts. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) annotations indicated that the acquisition of CLRDV induced DEGs in aphids associated with virus infection, signal transduction, immune systems, and fitness. However, these induced changes were not consistent across four alternate hosts. These data indicate that alternate hosts could differentially influence gene expression in aphids and presumably aphid behavior and fitness despite being infected with the same virus isolate.

Abstract
Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is emerging across the major cotton-producing states of the southern United States. Because it was detected in nearly all cotton-producing states within a few years of its initial detection in the United States, the spread of the virus has apparently occurred rapidly. In this study spanning three growing seasons in South Carolina, we collected CLRDV isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic cotton plants in 10 counties. The genomic region encoding P0, the viral suppressor of RNA silencing, was sequenced and compared among CLRDV isolates. Low variability among CLRDV P0 sequences from South Carolina isolates with similarities to other United States isolates was revealed by amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis. Low variability among South Carolina isolates was also confirmed by sequencing a subset of eight near-complete genomes of CLRDV isolates. Although sequence variability was low among South Carolina isolates, this data should be taken in the context of all United States isolates, for which diversity may be higher than initially expected. Sequences gathered in this study add to the body of knowledge on CLRDV diversity in the United States.

Abstract
TAXONOMY Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is a member of the genus Polerovirus, family Solemoviridae. Geographical Distribution: CLRDV is present in most cotton-producing regions worldwide, prominently in North and South America. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES The virion is a nonenveloped icosahedron with T = 3 icosahedral lattice symmetry that has a diameter of 26-34 nm and comprises 180 molecules of the capsid protein. The CsCl buoyant density of the virion is 1.39-1.42 g/cm3 and S20w is 115-127S. Genome: CLRDV shares genomic features with other poleroviruses; its genome consists of monopartite, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA, is approximately 5.7-5.8 kb in length, and is composed of seven open reading frames (ORFs) with an intergenic region between ORF2 and ORF3a. TRANSMISSION CLRDV is transmitted efficiently by the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) in a circulative and nonpropagative manner. Host: CLRDV has a limited host range. Cotton is the primary host, and it has also been detected in different weeds in and around commercial cotton fields in Georgia, USA. SYMPTOMS Cotton plants infected early in the growth stage exhibit reddening or bronzing of foliage, maroon stems and petioles, and drooping. Plants infected in later growth stages exhibit intense green foliage with leaf rugosity, moderate to severe stunting, shortened internodes, and increased boll shedding/abortion, resulting in poor boll retention. These symptoms are variable and are probably influenced by the time of infection, plant growth stage, varieties, soil health, and geographical location. CLRDV is also often detected in symptomless plants. CONTROL Vector management with the application of chemical insecticides is ineffective. Some host plant varieties grown in South America are resistant, but all varieties grown in the United States are susceptible. Integrated disease management strategies, including weed management and removal of volunteer stalks, could reduce the abundance of virus inoculum in the field.

Abstract
Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV, genus Polerovirus, family Solemoviridae) has been reported to infect cotton in Brazil, Argentina, India, Thailand and Timor-Leste (Agrofoglio YC et al. 2017; Corrêa RL et al. 2005; Mukherjee et al. 2012; Ray et al. 2016; Sharman et al. 2015), and in the United States (Ali and Mokhtari et al. 2020; Avelar et al. 2019). It has also been recently reported to infect Cicer arietinum (chickpea) in Uzbekistan and Hibiscus syriacus in Korea (Igori et al. 2022; Kumari et al. 2020). In China, the natural infection of plants by CLRDV has not been reported previously. In August 2017, leaf samples were collected from a wild plant of Malvaviscus arboreus (Malvaceae) exhibiting symptoms including leaf yellowing and distorting in Tengchong County of Yunnan Province. Leaves were used for total RNA extraction using TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen, USA). Small RNA library construction and deep sequencing was performed on illumina HiSeqTM 2000 platform by Novogene Bioinformatic Technology Co., Ltd (Beijing, China). A total of 11, 525, 708 raw reads were obtained and further computationally analyzed by Perl scripts. The adaptors were removed and the obtained 7, 520, 902 clean reads with size of 18- to 26-nucleotide (nt) were aligned with the GenBank virus RefSeq database using Bowtie software. These reads were mainly mapped to the genomes of hibiscus bacilliform virus (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), hibiscus chlorotic ringspot virus (genus Betacarmovirus, family Procedovirinae), hibiscus latent Singapore virus (genus Tobamovirus, family Virgaviridae) and CLRDV isolate ARG (accession no. GU167940). The average coverage depth of clean reads mapped to CLRDV genome was 97.76%. Contigs greater than 50 nt were used to search for similar sequences by BLASTx, and 107 contigs were annotated as homologous to CLRDV isolates. To confirm CLRDV infection, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed using the specific primer pair CLRDV-F (5'-TCCACAGGAAGTATCACGTTCG-3') and CLRDV-R (5'-CCTTGTGTGGTTTGATTCGTGA-3') designed based on two of these contigs well-aligned to the genome of CLRDV isolate ARG. An amplicon of 1095-bp size was amplified, and was sequenced by Sanger sequencing (TsingKe Biological Technology, Chengdu, China), and BLASTn search results showed a maximum nucleotide identity of 95.45% with CLRDV isolate CN-S5, an isolate obtained from soybean aphid host in China (accession no. KX588248). To obtain more information on this CLRDV isolate, four primer pairs were designed and used for RT-PCR amplification (Table S1). The amplicons with size of about 860-, 1400-, 3200- and 1100-bp, were obtained separately and assembled into a complete genome sequence up to 5, 865-nt in length (isolate YN, deposited under GenBank accession no. MN057665). BLASTn showed the highest nucleotide similarity of 94.61% with CLRDV isolate CN-S5. From 2018 to 2022, additional M. arboreus samples with leaf yellowing or curling symptoms (9 from Shapingba District in Chongqing City, 5 from Nanchong City in Sichuan Province, 9 from Kunming City and 12 from Tengchong County in Yunnan Province) were collected and tested for CLRDV by RT-PCR using primer pairs CLRDV-F/CLRDV-R. The nucleotide sequences of the CLRDV P0 gene in two samples from Tengchong County were obtained by Sanger sequencing and deposited under GenBank (CLRDV isolate TCSL1 P0 gene, accession no. OQ749809; CLRDV isolate TCSW2 P0 gene, accession no. OQ749809). To our knowledge, this is the first report of CLRDV naturally infecting Malvaviscus arboreus in China, thus extending the information on its geographical distribution and host range. Malvaviscus arboreus is a widely cultivated ornamental plant in Yunnan Province, China. The natural occurrence of CLRDV not only affects the ornamental value of Malvaviscus arboreus, but also poses a potential threat to cotton production in China. This study will assist further surveillance of CLRDV infection and future development of effective protection strategies against CLRDV in China.

Abstract
Cotton leafroll dwarf disease (CLRDD) caused by cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is an emerging threat to cotton production in the United States. The disease was first reported in Alabama in 2017 and subsequently has been reported in 10 other cotton producing states in the United States, including Georgia. A field study was conducted at field sites near Tifton, Georgia in 2019 and 2020 to evaluate leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, and leaf temperature responses for a symptomatic cultivar (diseased plants observed at regular frequency) at multiple stages of disease progression and for asymptomatic cultivars (0% disease incidence observed). Disease-induced reductions in net photosynthetic rate (A n, decreased by 63-101%), stomatal conductance (g s, decreased by 65-99%), and efficiency of the thylakoid reactions (32-92% decline in primary photochemistry) were observed, whereas leaf temperature significantly increased by 0.5-3.8°C at advanced stages of the disease. Net photosynthesis was substantially more sensitive to disease-induced declines in g s than the thylakoid reactions. Symptomatic plants with more advanced disease stages remained stunted throughout the growing season, and yield was reduced by 99% by CLRDD due to reductions in boll number per plant and declines in boll mass resulting from fewer seeds per boll. Asymptomatic cultivars exhibited more conservative gas exchange responses than apparently healthy plants of the symptomatic cultivar but were less productive. Overall, it is concluded that CLRDV limits stomatal conductance and photosynthetic activity of individual leaves, causing substantial declines in productivity for individual plants. Future studies should evaluate the physiological contributors to genotypic variation in disease tolerance under controlled conditions.

Abstract
The cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is one of the most devastating pathogens of cotton. This malady, known as cotton blue disease, is widespread in South America where it causes huge crop losses. Recently the disease has been reported from India. We noticed occurrence of cotton blue disease and chickpea stunt disease in adjoining cotton and chickpea fields and got interested in knowing if these two viral diseases have some association. By genetic studies, we have shown here that CLRDV is very close to chickpea stunt disease associated virus (CpSDaV). We were successful in transmitting the CLRDV from cotton to chickpea. Our studies indicate that CpSDaV and CLRDV in India are possibly two different strains of the same virus. These findings would be helpful in managing these serious diseases by altering the cropping patterns.
