Abstract
How, and to what extent, does the environment influence the way mutations interact? Do environmental changes affect both the sign and the magnitude of epistasis? Are there any correlations between environments in the variability, sign or magnitude of epistasis? Very few studies have tackled these questions. Here, we addressed them in the context of viral emergence. Most emerging viruses are RNA viruses with small genomes, overlapping reading frames and multifunctional proteins for which epistasis is abundant. Understanding the effect of host species in the sign and magnitude of epistasis will provide insights into the evolutionary ecology of infectious diseases and the predictability of viral emergence.

Abstract
Ultrastructural examination of tobacco mosaic virus-induced local lesions developing in leaves of Datura stramonium plants demonstrated that, in the central area of the lesions, the cell response to viral invasion was not uniform. Most cells exhibited an acute hypersensitive reaction and underwent rapid and complete necrosis. However, some cells, despite considerable virus accumulation and immediate contact with completely collapsed cells, maintained a certain degree of structural integrity. Analysis performed showed that the proportion of collapsed and uncollapsed cells in the lesion centre 3 to 5 days after infection did not change essentially. These data suggest that the absence of hypersensitive response in some cells in the lesion centre is not due to an early stage of infection but is likely caused by cell tolerance of the virus.

Abstract
The effect of kappa/beta-carrageenan from red alda Tichocarpus crinitus on the development of a potato virus X (PVX) infection in the leaves of Datura stramonium L. has been studied. The treatment of leaves with carrageenan stimulates a protein synthesis in the cells, causing an increase in the size of nucleoli and in the number of mitochondria and membranes of the granular endoplasmic reticulum. At the same time, such treatment slightly stimulates lytic processes, causing an increase in the number of agranular endoplasmic reticulum cisterns, dictyosomes, and cytoplasmic vacuoles and the formation of cytoplasmic zones, transparent to electron microscopy. The carrageenan-induced stimulation of lytic processes results in the destruction of viral particles and can be considered as one of the defense mechanisms, preventing the intracellular accumulation of viruses. The carrageenan-stimulated formation of PVX-specific laminar structures, able to bind viral particles and, therefore, prevent their intracellular translocation and reproduction, represents another carrageenan-induced mechanism of the antiviral defense in plant cells.

Abstract
Influence of fucoidan from brown alga Fucus evanescens C. Ag. on the development of infection induced by potato virus X (PVX) in Datura stramonium leaves was studied. It as been shown that 24 h after the treatment of the leaves with fucoidan and following infection of them with PVX the accumulation of virus particles in infected cells during early infection period was substantially less than that in untreated control. Using ultrastructure-morphometric analysis, it has been established that fucoidan treatment increases at protein-synthesizing capability of cells (nucleolus dimension, amount of mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes become increased). At the same time, the fucoidan treatment causes some activation of lytic compartment which leads to destruction of virus particles and, therefore, might be considered as one of fucoidan-dependent protective mechanisms limiting virus accumulation in cells. Fucoidan stimulation of the formation of PVX-specific laminated structures capable of virus particles binding is possibly another induced antiviral cell mechanism, preventing from virus reproduction and transposition.

Abstract
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is an economically important virus that is transmitted in a persistent propagative manner by its thrips vector, Frankliniella occidentalis. Previously, we found that a soluble form of the envelope glycoprotein G(N) (G(N)-S) specifically bound thrips midguts and reduced the amount of detectable virus inside midgut tissues. The aim of this research was to (i) determine if G(N)-S alters TSWV transmission by thrips and, if so, (ii) determine the duration of this effect. In one study, insects were given an acquisition access period (AAP) with G(N)-S mixed with purified virus and individual insects were assayed for transmission. We found that G(N)-S reduced the percent of transmitting adults by eightfold. In a second study, thrips were given an AAP on G(N)-S protein and then placed on TSWV-infected plant material. Individual insects were assayed for transmission over three time intervals of 2 to 3, 4 to 5, and 6 to 7 days post-adult eclosion. We observed a significant reduction in virus transmission that persisted to the same degree throughout the time course. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis of virus titer in individual insects revealed that the proportion of thrips infected with virus was reduced threefold when insects were preexposed to the G(N)-S protein as compared to no exposure to protein, and nontransmitters were not infected with virus. These results demonstrate that thrips transmission of a tospovirus can be reduced by exogenous viral glycoprotein.

Abstract
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) full-length DNA was amplified by PCR and cloned into a bacterial plasmid. The cloned TYLCV DNA was excised from the plasmid, ligated and the resulting monomeric circular double-stranded TYLCV DNA was used to inoculate tomato (Solanum lycopersicom) and datura (Datura stramonium) plants by particle bombardment. The bombarded plants produced typical disease symptoms, similar to those produced following whitefly-mediated inoculation, albeit 5-7 days later than whitefly-inoculated plants. The success rate of inoculating tomato plants by particle bombardment averaged 37%, whereas with datura plants, it averaged 85%. With whitefly-mediated inoculation of TYLCV, the success rate of inoculation was also higher in datura plants than in tomato plants. Bombardment of datura plants with a linear form of TYLCV DNA also resulted in viral infection, with an inoculation success rate similar to that with the closed-circular TYLCV DNA. Bombarding datura plants with the bacterial plasmid containing the cloned TYLCV DNA did not result in viral infection, but bombardment with a bacterial plasmid containing a cloned dimer of TYLCV DNA yielded an infection rate of 50-100%. This is the first report of TYLCV inoculation of plants using particle bombardment of a cloned monomeric linear or closed-circular form of TYLCV double-stranded DNA.

Abstract
Distinct subgenomic DNA species known as defective (df) DNA molecules were found in plants infected with tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV). Four df DNAs derived from TLCV Type and Darwin 1 strains were found to contain large deletions that disrupt all of the viral genes required for viral replication, encapsidation and spread. However, the viral origin of replication (ori), including the replication-associated protein (Rep) binding domains, was present in all four df DNAs. Co-agroinfection of leaf strips with tandem repeat constructs of the viral and df DNAs resulted in their replication in the presence of the respective TLCV strain. However, the df DNAs failed to move in whole plants when co-inoculated with TLCV. The df DNAs were shown to be associated with TLCV coat protein, which may indicate encapsidation. Mutational analysis showed the minimum sequence requirements for df DNA replication by TLCV to be the intergenic region containing the Rep-binding domains.

Abstract
The efficiency of in vitro translation of potato virus X (PVX) RNA within vRNP complexes assembled from genomic RNA and viral CP was examined. The vRNP particles contain the 5'-proximal RNA segments encapsidated by helically arranged CP head-like portions heterogeneous in length and the CP-free RNA tail. Translation of RNA is completely repressed upon incubation with PVX CP and is accompanied by vRNP particles production. By contrast, translation is activated in vRNPs in vitro assembled using two CP forms, differing in the principals of their N-terminal peptides modification. The N-terminal peptide of PVX CP represents the major phosphorylation site(s) for Thr/Ser-specific protein kinases. It was shown that: (i) CP phosphorylation results in a translational activation of vRNP; (ii) removal of N-terminal peptide from CP abolished activation and CP retains the translation repressing ability. It was suggested that substitution of Ser/Thr residues by non-phosphorylated Ala/Gly in N-terminal peptide of the mutant CP will led to a complete inhibition of vRNP translation. However, opposite results were obtained in our experiments: (i) RNA of such mutant virus (PVX-ST) was efficiently translated within the virions; (ii) RNA of a wild-type (wt) PVX also efficiently translated in mixedly assembled vRNP "wt PVX RNA + PVX-ST CP"; (iii) opposite result (repression of translation) was obtained with "mixed" vRNP (PVX-ST RNA + wtPVX CP). Therefore, the N-terminal peptide located at the surface of the particle and of the particles plays a key role in translation activation of the RNA encapsidated in vRNP and native virions.

Abstract
Free cytoplasmic informosomes isolated from Datura stramonium plants infected by PVX contain a low-molecular ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP). This complex as to its main physico-chemical parameters (sedimentation coefficient 10S, buoyant density in CsSO4 1.31 g/cm3, stability to 1% lauroylsarcosinate-Na) corresponds to the prosome (inhibitory RNP). Prosomes isolated from free mRNP of D. stramonium plants infected by PVX contain the protein of 39 kDa. This protein was shown to be capable to phosphorylate in vitro in the composition of informosomes and prosomes. It is possible that this protein can be the protein-repressor, since it is absent in the translated polysome-associated form of mRNP. The label incorporation has shown that the protein of 39 kDa is able to reduce in vitro the template activity of genomic RNA PVX to 40% and RNA TMIV--to 30%. Moreover, the protein 39 of kDa has the protease activity. It affects substrate-case in like trypsin. It is supposed that it can participate in splitting the intracellular proteins as well as in the expression of the virus genome, it can also influence the template activity of cell RNAs.

Abstract
Time-resolved small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) in solution were used to study the swelling reaction of TBSV upon chelation of its constituent calcium at mildly basic pH. SAXS intensities comprise contribution from the protein capsid and the RNA moiety, while neutron scattering, recorded in 72% D2O, is essentially due to the protein capsid. Cryo-electron micrographs of compact and swollen virus were used to produce 3D reconstructions of the initial and final conformations of the virus at a resolution of 13 A and 19 A, respectively. While compact particles appear to be very homogeneous in size, solutions of swollen particles exhibit some size heterogeneity. A procedure has been developed to compute the SAXS pattern from the 3D reconstruction for comparison with experimental data. Cryo-electron microscopy thereby provides an invaluable starting (and ending) point for the analysis of the time-resolved swelling process using the scattering data.

The localization of virus infection and development of local and systemic induced resistance in plants Nicotiana sanderae Hort., Datura stramonium L. and D. metel L. infected by TMV have been studied. It was shown that acquired resistance to the second infection is induced in hypersensitive plants infected by TMV independent of localization mechanism. No definite correlation exists between these defense reactions.

Abstract
Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) transactivator/viroplasmin (Tav) is a multifunctional protein essential for basic replication of CaMV. It also plays a role in viral pathogenesis in crucifer and solanaceous host plants. Deletion mutagenesis revealed that N- and C-terminal parts of Tav are not essential for CaMV replication in transfected protoplasts. Two deletion mutants having only minimal defects in basic replication were infectious in turnips but only with highly attenuated virulence. This was shown to be due to delayed virus spread within the inoculated leaves and to the upper leaves. Unlike the wild-type virus, the mutant viruses successfully spread locally without inducing a host defense response in inoculated Datura stramonium leaves, but did not spread systemically. These results provide the first evidence that a Tav domain required for avirulence function in solanaceous plants is not essential for CaMV infectivity but has a role in viral virulence in susceptible hosts.

Abstract
Pathogenecity and virulence of tomato spotted wilt virus isolated from tobacco were studied under the field conditions of the Crimea in the tobacco plants of Immunny 580 variety and Datura stramonium. As to their virulence the obtained 26 isolates were divided into three groups: strongly virulent (severe), middle-virulent and weakly virulent ("mosaic"). It has been shown that strongly virulent isolates interfere with weakly virulent ones and induce the development of nonspecific resistance in tobacco plants, this resistance is also efficient to the tobacco mosaic virus.

Abstract
Avirulent genes either directly or indirectly produce elicitors that are recognized by specific receptors of plant resistance genes, leading to the induction of host defense responses such as hypersensitive reaction (HR). HR is characterized by the development of a necrotic lesion at the site of infection which results in confinement of the invader to this area. Artificial chimeras and mutants of cymbidium ringspot (CymRSV) and the pepper isolate of tomato bushy stunt (TBSV-P) tombusviruses were used to determine viral factors involved in the HR resistance phenotype of Datura stramonium upon infection with CymRSV. A series of constructs carrying deletions and frameshifts of the CymRSV coat protein (CP) undoubtedly clarified that an 860-nucleotide (nt)-long RNA sequence in the CymRSV CP coding region (between nt 2666 and 3526) is the elicitor of a very rapid HR-like response of D. stramonium which limits the virus spread. This finding provides the first evidence that an untranslatable RNA can trigger an HR-like resistance response in virus-infected plants. The effectiveness of the resistance response might indicate that other nonhost resistance could also be due to RNA-mediated HR. It is an appealing explanation that RNA-mediated HR has evolved as an alternative defense strategy against RNA viruses.

Abstract
In Nicotiana benthamiana, the common strain of the bipartite geminivirus Tomato golden mosaic virus (csTGMV) induces extensive chlorosis whereas the yellow vein strain (yvTGMV) produces veinal chlorosis on systemically infected leaves. In Datura stramonium, csTGMV produces leaf distortion and a severe chlorotic mosaic whereas yvTGMV produces only small chlorotic lesions on systemically infected leaves. Genetic recombination and site-directed mutagenesis studies using infectious clones of csTGMV and yvTGMV have identified a role in symptom production for the gene encoding the movement protein (MP). The MP amino acid at position 272, either valine (csTGMV) or isoleucine (yvTGMV), influenced symptoms in both hosts by inducing an intermediate phenotype when exchanged between the two strains. Exchange of an additional strain-specific MP amino acid at position 288, either glutamine (csTGMV) or lysine (yvTGMV), resulted in the change of symptom phenotype to that of the other strain. In situ hybridization analysis in N. benthamiana demonstrated that there was no qualitative difference in the tissue distribution of the two strains although csTGMV accumulated in higher amounts, suggesting that the efficiency of virus movement rather than distinct differences in tissue specificity of the strains is responsible for the symptom phenotypes.

Abstract
Bean yellow dwarf virus (BeYDV) is an atypical member of the geminivirus genus Mastrevirus that infects dicotyledonous plants. BeYDV DNA contains six open reading frames (ORFs) with the capacity to encode proteins in excess of 10 kDa. Two virion-sense ORFs (V1 and V2) and two complementary-sense ORFs (C1 and C2) have homologues in all mastreviruses, while ORFs C3 and C4 are not conserved. To investigate their functions, each of the ORFs has been truncated by either frame-shifting or the introduction of a stop codon. We demonstrate that an ORF V1 mutant replicated efficiently in Nicotiana tabacum protoplasts but was unable to systemically infect Phaseolus vulgaris and Datura stramonium, consistent with a role for V1 protein in virus movement. However, the mutant was able to systemically infect Nicotiana benthamiana although the onset of symptoms was appreciably delayed in comparison with wild-type virus. Disruption of ORF V2, encoding the coat protein, prevented systemic infection of all three hosts but the mutant replicated in protoplasts. Both ORF C1 and ORF C2 were essential for replication in protoplasts. Modification of the complementary-sense splice donor and acceptor sequences also prevented replication. Removal of the intron prevented systemic infection, although the intronless mutant was able to produce functional replication-associated protein (Rep) and replicated efficiently in protoplasts. ORFs C3 and C4 were not required for systemic infection. Our results indicate that four ORFs are spatially and functionally conserved in mastreviruses that infect both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.

Abstract
An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity was found associated with virions of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), a plant- and insect-infecting member of the family Bunyaviridae. Radiolabeled nucleoside triphosphates were incorporated into trichloroacetic acid-precipitable products by detergent-disrupted, purified TSWV virions. Incorporation was reduced to near-background levels when RNase was present in the reaction mixture. The predominantly double-stranded RNA products were RNase-resistant at high but not low salt concentrations. The activity required manganese and was independent of a DNA template. Discrete products of approximately 3.0 kb and heterogeneous smaller products were synthesized that hybridized to purified TSWV RNA and transcripts of cDNA clones encompassing parts of each of the three genomic RNAs. The predominant products were viral sense although significant amounts of viral complementary sense S RNA products were also synthesized.
