Abstract
Many viruses employ a process known as superinfection exclusion (SIE) to block subsequent entry or replication of the same or closely related viruses in the cells they occupy. SIE is also referred to as Cross-protection refers to the situation where a host plant infected by a mild strain of a virus or viroid gains immunity against a more severe strain closely related to the initial infectant. The mechanisms underlying cross-protection are not fully understood. In this study, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) leaves. The strains PVYN-Wi-HLJ-BDH-2 and PVYNTN-NW-INM-W-369-12 are henceforth designated as BDH and 369, respectively. In total, 806 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected between the Control and JZ (preinfected with BDH and challenge with 369) treatment. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed that the response to external biological stimulation, signal transduction, kinase, immunity, redox pathways were significantly enriched. Among these pathways, we identified numerous differentially expressed metabolites related to virus infection. Moreover, our data also identified a small set of genes that likely play important roles in the establishment of cross-protection. Specifically, we observed significant differential expression of the A1-II gamma-like gene, elongation factor 1-alpha-like gene, and subtilisin-like protease StSBT1.7 gene, with StSBT1.7 being the most significant in our transcriptome data. These genes can stimulate the expression of defense plant genes, induce plant chemical defense, and participate in the induction of trauma and pathogenic bacteria. Our findings provided insights into the mechanisms underlying the ability of mild viruses to protect host plants against subsequent closely related virus infection in Solanum tuberosum L.

Abstract
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is one of the major cash crops in China. Potato virus Y (PVY), a representative member of the genus Potyvirus, greatly reduces the quality and yield of tobacco leaves by inducing veinal necrosis. Mild strain-mediated cross-protection is an attractive method of controlling diseases caused by PVY. Currently, there is a lack of effective and stable attenuated PVY mutants. Potyviral helper component-protease (HC-Pro) is a likely target for the development of mild strains. Our previous studies showed that the residues lysine at positions 124 and 182 (K124 and K182) in HC-Pro were involved in PVY virulence, and the conserved KITC motif in HC-Pro was involved in aphid transmission. In this study, to improve the stability of PVY mild strains, K at position 50 (K50) in KITC motif, K124, and K182 were separately substituted with glutamic acid (E), leucine (L), and arginine (R), resulting in a triple-mutant PVY-HCELR. The mutant PVY-HCELR had attenuated virulence and did not induce leaf veinal necrosis symptoms in tobacco plants and could not be transmitted by Myzus persicae. Furthermore, PVY-HCELR mutant was genetically stable after six serial passages, and only caused mild mosaic symptoms in tobacco plants even at 90 days post inoculation. The tobacco plants cross-protected by PVY-HCELR mutant showed high resistance to the wild-type PVY. This study showed that PVY-HCELR mutant was a promising mild mutant for cross-protection to control PVY.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most dangerous agricultural pathogens that causes substantial harm to vegetative propagated crops, such as potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.). A necessary condition for PVY infection is an interaction between the plant cap-binding translation initiation factors eIF4E and a viral protein VPg, which mimics the cap-structure. In this study, we identified the point mutations in potato eIF4E1 and eIF4E2 that disrupt VPg binding while preserving the functional activity. For the structural interpretation of the obtained results, molecular models of all the studied forms of eIF4E1 and eIF4E2 were constructed and analyzed via molecular dynamics. The results of molecular dynamics simulations corresponds to the biochemical results and suggests that the β1β2 loop plays a key role in the stabilization of both eIF4E-cap and eIF4E-VPg complexes.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a plant virus that is known to be responsible for substantial economic losses in agriculture. Within the PVY genome, viral genome-linked protein (VPg) plays a pivotal role in the viral translation process. In this study, VPg was used as a potential target for analyzing the antiviral activity of tryptanthrin derivatives. In vitro, the dissociation constants of B1 with PVY VPg were 0.69 μmol/L (measured by microscale thermophoresis) and 4.01 μmol/L (measured via isothermal titration calorimetry). B1 also strongly bound to VPg proteins from three other Potyviruses. Moreover, in vivo experiments demonstrated that B1 effectively suppressed the expression of the PVY gene. Molecular docking experiments revealed that B1 formed a hydrogen bond with N121 and that no specific binding occurred between B1 and the PVY VPgN121A mutant. Therefore, N121 is a key amino acid residue in PVY VPg involved in B1 binding. These results highlight the potential of PVY VPg as a potential target for the development of antiviral agents.

Abstract
Viruses rely completely on host translational machinery to produce the proteins encoded by their genes. Controlling translation initiation is important for gaining translational advantage in conflicts between the host and virus. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) has been reported to be hijacked by potyviruses for virus multiplication. The role of translation regulation in defence and anti-defence between plants and viruses is not well understood. We report that the transcript level of eIF6 was markedly increased in turnip mosaic virus (TuMV)-infected Nicotiana benthamiana. TuMV infection was impaired by overexpression of N. benthamiana eIF6 (NbeIF6) either transiently expressed in leaves or stably expressed in transgenic plants. Polysome profile assays showed that overexpression of NbeIF6 caused the accumulation of 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, the reduction of polysomes, and also compromised TuMV UTR-mediated translation, indicating a defence role for upregulated NbeIF6 during TuMV infection. However, the polysome profile in TuMV-infected leaves was not identical to that in leaves overexpressing NbeIF6. Further analysis showed that TuMV NIb protein, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, interacted with NbeIF6 and interfered with its effect on the ribosomal subunits, suggesting that NIb might have a counterdefence role. The results propose a possible regulatory mechanism at the translation level during plant-virus interaction.

Abstract
The complete genome sequence of a putative novel potyvirus, tentatively named "polygonatum kingianum mottle virus" (PKgMV; GenBank accession no. ON428226), infecting Polygonatum kingianum in China, was obtained by next-generation sequencing (NGS), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). PKgMV exhibits the typical genome organization and characteristics of members of the genus Potyvirus, with a length of 10,002 nucleotides (nt) and a large open reading frame (nt 108 to 9,746) encoding a polyprotein of 3,212 amino acids (aa) (363.68 kDa). Pairwise comparisons revealed that the PKgMV polyprotein shares 50.5-68.6% nt and 43.1-72.2% aa sequence identity with reported members of the genus Potyvirus. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis indicated that PKgMV is closely related to polygonatum kingianum virus 1 (PKgV1; accession no. MK427056). These results suggest that the PKgMV is a novel member of the genus Potyvirus of the family Potyviridae.

Abstract
Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) was detected on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants showing wrinkled and/or narrow leaves, curling, shrinking and chlorosis of leaves, dwarfing of plants, and mottled pods in Inner Mongolia and named BCMV-22Huhe. Its genome has a size of 10,062 bp and was deposited in GenBank under the accession number OR778613. It is closely related to BCMV-Az (GenBank accession no. KP903372, in China) in the lineage of AzBMV. A recombination event was detected for BCMV-22Huhe among the 99 BCMV isolates published in the NCBI GenBank database, showing that BCMV-CJ25 (MK069986, found in Mexico) was a potential major parent, and the minor parent is unknown. This work is the first description of the occurrence of BCMV in Inner Mongolia, China.

Abstract
Plant viruses account for enormous agricultural losses worldwide, and the most effective way to combat them is to identify genetic material conferring plant resistance to these pathogens. Aiming to identify genetic associations with responses to infection, we screened a large panel of Arabidopsis thaliana natural inbred lines for four disease-related traits caused by infection by A. thaliana-naïve and -adapted isolates of the natural pathogen turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). We detected a strong, replicable association in a 1.5 Mb region on chromosome 2 with a 10-fold increase in relative risk of systemic necrosis. The region contains several plausible causal genes as well as abundant structural variation, including an insertion of a Copia transposon into a Toll/interleukin receptor (TIR-NBS-LRR) coding for a gene involved in defense, that could be either a driver or a consequence of the disease-resistance locus. When inoculated with TuMV, loss-of-function mutant plants of this gene exhibited different symptoms than wild-type plants. The direction and severity of symptom differences depended on the adaptation history of the virus. This increase in symptom severity was specific for infections with the adapted isolate. Necrosis-associated alleles are found worldwide, and their distribution is consistent with a trade-off between resistance during viral outbreaks and a cost of resistance otherwise, leading to negative frequency-dependent selection.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated how an emerging RNA virus evolves, interacts, and adapts to populations of a novel host species with defects in epigenetically controlled plant defense mechanisms. Mutations in epigenetic regulatory pathways would exert different effects on defense-response genes but also induce large-scale alterations in cellular physiology and homeostasis. To test whether these effects condition the emergence and subsequent adaptation of a viral pathogen, we have evolved five independent lineages of a naive turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) strain in a set of Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes carrying mutations that influence important elements of two main epigenetic pathways and compare the results with those obtained for viral lineages evolved in wild-type plants. All evolved lineages showed adaptation to the lack of epigenetically regulated responses through significant increases in infectivity, virulence, and viral load although the magnitude of the improvements strongly depended on the plant genotype. In early passages, these traits evolved more rapidly, but the rate of evolution flattened out in later ones. Viral load was positively correlated with different measures of virulence, though the strength of the associations changed from the ancestral to the evolved viruses. High-throughput sequencing was used to evaluate the viral diversity of each lineage, as well as characterizing the nature of fixed mutations, evolutionary convergences, and potential targets of TuMV adaptation. Within each lineage, we observed a net increase in genome-wide genetic diversity, with some instances where nonsynonymous alleles experienced a transient rise in abundance before being displaced by the ancestral allele. In agreement with previous studies, viral VPg protein has been shown as a key player in the adaptation process, even though no obvious association between fixed alleles and host genotype was found.

Abstract
Breeders have made important efforts to develop genotypes able to resist virus attacks in sweetpotato, a major crop providing food security and poverty alleviation to smallholder farmers in many regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin America. However, a lack of accurate objective quantitative methods for this selection target in sweetpotato prevents a consistent and extensive assessment of large breeding populations. In this study, an approach to characterize and classify resistance in sweetpotato was established by assessing total yield loss and virus load after the infection of the three most common viruses (SPFMV, SPCSV, SPLCV). Twelve sweetpotato genotypes with contrasting reactions to virus infection were grown in the field under three different treatments: pre-infected by the three viruses, un-infected and protected from re-infection, and un-infected but exposed to natural infection. Virus loads were assessed using ELISA, (RT-)qPCR, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) methods, and also through multispectral reflectance and canopy temperature collected using an unmanned aerial vehicle. Total yield reduction compared to control and the arithmetic sum of (RT-)qPCR relative expression ratios were used to classify genotypes into four categories: resistant, tolerant, susceptible, and sensitives. Using 14 remote sensing predictors, machine learning algorithms were trained to classify all plots under the said categories. The study found that remotely sensed predictors were effective in discriminating the different virus response categories. The results suggest that using machine learning and remotely sensed data, further complemented by fast and sensitive LAMP assays to confirm results of predicted classifications could be used as a high throughput approach to support virus resistance phenotyping in sweetpotato breeding.

Abstract
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), which plays a pivotal role in initiating translation in eukaryotic organisms, is often hijacked by the viral genome-linked protein to facilitate the infection of potyviruses. In this study, we found that the naturally occurring amino acid substitution D71G in eIF4E is widely present in potyvirus-resistant watermelon accessions and disrupts the interaction between watermelon eIF4E and viral genome-linked protein of papaya ringspot virus-watermelon strain, zucchini yellow mosaic virus or watermelon mosaic virus. Multiple sequence alignment and protein modelling showed that the amino acid residue D71 located in the cap-binding pocket of eIF4E is strictly conserved in many plant species. The mutation D71G in watermelon eIF4E conferred resistance against papaya ringspot virus-watermelon strain and zucchini yellow mosaic virus, and the equivalent mutation D55G in tobacco eIF4E conferred resistance to potato virus Y. Therefore, our finding provides a potential precise target for breeding plants resistant to multiple potyviruses.

Abstract
The genus Potyvirus is considered as the largest among plant single-stranded (positive-sense) RNA viruses, causing considerable economic damage to vegetable and fruit crops worldwide. Through the coordinated action of four viral proteins and a few identified host factors, potyviruses exploit the endomembrane system of infected cells for their replication and for their intra- and intercellular movement to and through plasmodesmata (PDs). Although a significant amount of data concerning potyvirus movement has been published, no synthetic review compiling and integrating all information relevant to our current understanding of potyvirus transport is available. In this review, we highlight the complexity of potyvirus movement pathways and present three potential nonexclusive mechanisms based on (1) the use of the host endomembrane system to produce membranous replication vesicles that are targeted to PDs and move from cell to cell, (2) the movement of extracellular viral vesicles in the apoplasm, and (3) the transport of virion particles or ribonucleoprotein complexes through PDs. We also present and discuss experimental data supporting these different models as well as the aspects that still remain mostly speculative.

Abstract
Iris severe mosaic virus (ISMV, Potyviridae) can threaten the sustainability of iris production and the marketability of the plants. Effective intervention and control strategies require rapid and early detection of viral infections. The wide range of viral symptoms, from asymptomatic to severe chlorosis of the leaves, renders diagnosis solely based on visual indicators ineffective. A nested PCR-based diagnostic assay was developed for the reliable detection of ISMV in iris leaves and in rhizomes. Considering the genetic variability of ISMV, two primer pairs were designed to detect the highly conserved 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the viral genomic RNA. The specificity of the primer pairs was confirmed against four other potyviruses. The sensitivity of detection was enhanced by one order of magnitude using diluted cDNA and a nested approach. Nested PCR facilitated detecting ISMV on field-grown samples beyond the capabilities of a currently available immunological test and in iris rhizome, which would facilitate ensuring clean stock is planted. This approach dramatically improves the detection threshold of ISMV on potentially low virus titer samples. The study provides a practical, accurate, and sensitive tool for the early detection of a deleterious virus that infects a popular ornamental and landscape plant.

Abstract
Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), a member of Potyvirus, is the most destructive and widespread viral disease in soybean production. Our earlier studies identified a soybean 40S ribosomal protein S8 (GmRPS8) using the 6K1 protein of SMV as the bait to screen a soybean cDNA library. The present study aims to identify the interactions between GmRPS8 and SMV and characterize the role of GmRPS8 in SMV infection in soybean. Expression analysis showed higher SMV-induced GmRPS8 expression levels in a susceptible soybean cultivar when compared with a resistant cultivar, suggesting that GmRPS8 was involved in the response to SMV in soybean. Subcellular localization showed that GmRPS8 was localized in the nucleus. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) experiments showed that GmRPS8 only interacted with 6K1 among the eleven proteins encoded by SMV. The interaction between GmRPS8 and 6K1 was further verified by a bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay, and the interaction was localized in the nucleus. Furthermore, knockdown of GmRPS8 by a virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system retarded the growth and development of soybeans and inhibited the accumulation of SMV in soybeans. Together, these results showed that GmRPS8 interacts with 6K1 and contributes to soybean susceptibility to SMV. Our findings provide new insights for understanding the role of GmRPS8 in the SMV infection cycle, which could help reveal potyviral replication mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have recently identified a novel virus detected in alfalfa seed material. The virus was tentatively named alfalfa-associated potyvirus 1, as its genomic fragments bore similarities with potyvirids. In this study, we continued investigating this novel species, expanding information on its genomic features and biological characteristics. METHODS This research used a wide range of methodology to achieve end results: high throughput sequencing, bioinformatics tools, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions, differential diagnostics using indicator plants, virus purification, transmission electron microscopy, and others. RESULTS In this study, we obtained a complete genome sequence of the virus and classified it as a tentative species in the new genus, most closely related to the members of the genus Ipomovirus in the family Potyviridae. This assumption is based on the genome sequence and structure, phylogenetic relationships, and transmission electron microscopy investigations. We also demonstrated its mechanical transmission to the indicator plant Nicotiana benthamiana and to the natural host Medicago sativa, both of which developed characteristic symptoms therefore suggesting a pathogenic nature of the disease. CONCLUSIONS Consistent with symptomatology, the virus was renamed to alfalfa vein mottling virus. A name Alvemovirus was proposed for the new genus in the family Potyviridae, of which alfalfa vein mottling virus is a tentative member.

Abstract
Positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) viruses, the most abundant viruses of eukaryotes in nature, require the synthesis of negative-sense RNA (-RNA) using their genomic (positive-sense) RNA (+RNA) as a template for replication. Based on current evidence, viral proteins are translated via viral +RNAs, whereas -RNA is considered to be a viral replication intermediate without coding capacity. Here, we report that plant and animal +ssRNA viruses contain small open reading frames (ORFs) in their -RNA (reverse ORFs [rORFs]). Using turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) as a model for plant +ssRNA viruses, we demonstrate that small proteins encoded by rORFs display specific subcellular localizations, and confirm the presence of rORF2 in infected cells through mass spectrometry analysis. The protein encoded by TuMV rORF2 forms punctuate granules that are localized in the perinuclear region and co-localized with viral replication complexes. The rORF2 protein can directly interact with the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and mutation of rORF2 completely abolishes virus infection, whereas ectopic expression of rORF2 rescues the mutant virus. Furthermore, we show that several rORFs in the -RNA of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have the ability to suppress type I interferon production and facilitate the infection of vesicular stomatitis virus. In addition, we provide evidence that TuMV might utilize internal ribosome entry sites to translate these small rORFs. Taken together, these findings indicate that the -RNA of +ssRNA viruses can also have the coding capacity and that small proteins encoded therein play critical roles in viral infection, revealing a viral proteome larger than previously thought.

Abstract
The external application of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has recently been developed as a non-transgenic approach for crop protection against pests and pathogens. This novel and emerging approach has come to prominence due to its safety and environmental benefits. It is generally assumed that the mechanism of dsRNA-mediated antivirus RNA silencing is similar to that of natural RNA interference (RNAi)-based defence against RNA-containing viruses. There is, however, no direct evidence to support this idea. Here, we provide data on the high-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis of small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) as hallmarks of RNAi induced by infection with the RNA-containing potato virus Y (PVY) and also by exogenous application of dsRNA which corresponds to a fragment of the PVY genome. Intriguingly, in contrast to PVY-induced production of discrete 21 and 22 nt sRNA species, the externally administered PVY dsRNA fragment led to generation of a non-canonical pool of sRNAs, which were present as ladders of ~18-30 nt in length; suggestive of an unexpected sRNA biogenesis pathway. Interestingly, these non-canonical sRNAs are unable to move systemically and also do not induce transitive amplification. These findings may have significant implications for further developments in dsRNA-mediated crop protection.

Abstract
Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata), a plant native to Southeastern Asia, has become a major noxious weed covering millions of hectares in the Southern United States. A kudzu patch displaying virus-like symptoms located in Ackerman, northeastern Mississippi (MS), was used as a source for virus isolation and characterization involving mechanical and vector transmission, ultrastructural observation, surveys, Sanger and high-throughput genome sequencing, and sequence analyses. The results revealed the presence of a new potyvirus in infected kudzu, closely related to wisteria vein mosaic virus (WVMV) and provisionally named kudzu chlorotic ring blotch virus (KudCRBV). Genome features and pairwise comparison with six WVMV genomes currently available in GenBank and three additional isolates from MS sequenced in this work suggest that KudCRBV is likely a member of a new species in the genus Potyvirus. Furthermore, under experimental conditions, KudCRBV was successfully transmitted by cotton and potato aphids and mechanically to soybean and beans. A state-wide survey revealed several kudzu patches infected by the virus in northern MS.

Abstract
To gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in viral infection and the corresponding plant resistance responses, it is essential to investigate the interactions between viral and host proteins. In the case of viral infections in plants, a significant portion of the affected gene products are closely associated with chloroplasts and photosynthesis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between the virus and host chloroplast proteins during replication remain poorly understood. In our previous study, we made an interesting discovery regarding soybean mosaic virus (SMV) infection in resistant and susceptible soybean cultivars. We found that the photosystem I (PSI) subunit (PSaC) and ATP synthase subunit α (ATPsyn-α) genes were up-regulated in the resistant cultivar following SMV-G7H and SMV-G5H infections compared to the susceptible cultivar. Overexpression of these two genes within the SMV-G7H genome in the susceptible cultivar Lee74 (rsv3-null) reduced SMV accumulation, whereas silencing of the PSaC and ATPsyn-α genes promoted SMV accumulation. We have also found that the PSaC and ATPsyn-α proteins are present in the chloroplast envelope, nucleus, and cytoplasm. Building on these findings, we now characterized protein-protein interactions between PSaC and ATPsyn-α with two viral proteins, NIb and NIa-Pro, respectively, of SMV. Through co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments, we confirmed the interactions between these proteins. Moreover, when the C-terminal region of either PSaC or ATPsyn-α was overexpressed in the SMV-G7H genome, we observed a reduction in viral accumulation and systemic infection in the susceptible cultivar. Based on these results, we propose that the PSaC and ATPsyn-α genes play a modulatory role in conferring resistance to SMV infection by influencing the function of NIb and NIa-Pro-in SMV replication and movement. The identification of these photosynthesis-related genes as key players in the interplay between the virus and the host provides valuable insights for developing more targeted control strategies against SMV. Additionally, by utilizing these genes, it may be possible to genetically engineer plants with improved photosynthetic efficiency and enhanced resistance to SMV infection.

Abstract
Potato virus Y, an important viral pathogen of potato, has several genetic variants and geographic distributions which could be affected by environmental factors, aphid vectors, and reservoir plants. PVY is transmitted to virus-free potato plants by aphids and passed on to the next vegetative generations through tubers, but the effects of tuber transmission in PVY is largely unknown. By using high-throughput sequencing, we investigated PVY populations transmitted to potato plants by aphids in different climate zones of Russia, namely the Moscow and Astrakhan regions. We analyzed sprouts from the tubers produced by field-infected plants to investigate the impact of tuber transmission on PVY genetics. We found a significantly higher diversity of PVY isolates in the Astrakhan region, where winters are shorter and milder and summers are warmer compared to the Moscow region. While five PVY types, NTNa, NTNb, N:O, N-Wi, and SYR-I, were present in both regions, SYRI-II, SYRI-III, and 261-4 were only found in the Astrakhan region. All these recombinants were composed of the genome sections derived from PVY types O and N, but no full-length sequences of such types were present. The composition of the PVY variants in the tuber sprouts was not always the same as in their parental plants, suggesting that tuber transmission impacts PVY genetics.

Abstract
Potyvirids, members of the family Potyviridae, produce the P3N-PIPO protein, which is crucial for the cell-to-cell transport of viral genomic RNAs. The production of P3N-PIPO requires an adenine (A) insertion caused by RNA polymerase slippage at a conserved GAAAAAA (GA6) sequence preceding the PIPO open reading frame. Presently, the slippage rate of RNA polymerase has been estimated in only a few potyvirids, ranging from 0.8 to 2.1%. In this study, we analyzed publicly available plant RNA-seq data and identified 19 genome contigs from 13 distinct potyvirids. We further investigated the RNA polymerase slippage rates at the GA6 motif. Our analysis revealed that the frequency of the A insertion variant ranges from 0.53 to 4.07% in 11 potyviruses (genus Potyvirus). For the two macluraviruses (genus Macluravirus), the frequency of the A insertion variant was found to be 0.72% and 10.96% respectively. Notably, the estimated RNA polymerase slippage rates for 12 out of the 13 investigated potyvirids were reported for the first time in this study. Our findings underscore the value of plant RNA-seq data for quantitative analysis of potyvirid genome variants, specifically at the GA6 slippage site, and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the RNA polymerase slippage phenomenon in potyvirids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sword bean (Canavalia gladiata) is an underutilized legume that has the potential to become an important food source owing to its wide range of nutritional and medicinal properties. In May 2023, symptoms induced by a possible virus infection such as mosaic, mottling and vein banding were observed on the leaves of about 20% of the Sword bean plants growing at the experimental research farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in Pune, Maharashtra, India. METHODS AND RESULTS Symptomatic and asymptomatic samples were screened by ELISA for the presence of Potyvirus, Cucumber mosaic virus and Tobacco mosaic virus. All symptomatic samples tested positive for Potyvirus in ELISA as well as in RT-PCR assay using the universal potyvirus primer pair (CPUP /P9502) which amplify c. 700 bp of the partial coat protein region and 3'UTR. Asymptomatic samples tested negative for all tested viruses in both serological and molecular assays. BLASTn sequence analysis of the amplicons revealed that the sequence shares more than 98% identity with an Indian isolate of Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). Sequence analysis enabled the identification of the Potyvirus as BCMV. Furthermore, the present Sword bean isolate clustered with other BCMV isolates in the phylogenetic analysis. CONCLUSION In the present study, BCMV was found to be naturally infecting Sword bean for the first time in the world. This is of epidemiological importance, as BCMV is known to cause significant yield losses in legumes and could severely hamper Sword bean production.

Abstract
Two infectious clones of turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), pKBC-1 and pKBC-8, with differential infectivity in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis), were obtained. Both infected Nicotiana benthamiana systemically, inducing similar symptoms, whereas only virus KBC-8 infected Chinese cabbage systemically. To identify the determinants affecting infectivity on Chinese cabbage, chimeric clones were constructed by restriction fragment exchange between the parental clones and tested on several Chinese cabbage cultivars. Chimeric clones p1N8C and p8N1C demonstrated that the C-terminal portion of the polyprotein determines systemic infection of Chinese cabbage despite only three amino acid differences in this region, in the cylindrical inclusion (CI), viral protein genome-linked (VPg), and coat protein (CP). A second pair of hybrid constructs, pHindIII-1N8C and pHindIII-8N1C, failed to infect cultivars CR Victory and Jinseonnorang systemically, yet pHindIII-1N8C caused hypersensitive response-like lesions on inoculated leaves of these cultivars, and could systemically infect cultivars CR Chusarang and Jeongsang; this suggests that R genes effective against TuMV may exist in the first two cultivars but not the latter two. Constructs with single amino acid changes in both VPg (K2045E) and CP (Y3095H) failed to infect Chinese cabbage, implying that at least one of these two amino acid substitutions is essential for successful infection on Chinese cabbage. Successful infection by mutant KBC-8-CP-H and delayed infection with mutant HJY1-VPg-E following mutation or reversion suggested that VPg (2045K) is the residue required for infection of Chinese cabbage and involved in the interaction between VPg and eukaryotic initiation factor eIF(iso)4E, confirmed by yeast two-hybrid assay.

Abstract
In the field of plant virology, the usage of reverse genetic systems has been reported for multiple purposes. One is understanding virus-host interaction by labelling viral cDNA clones with fluorescent protein genes to allow visual virus tracking throughout a plant, albeit this visualization depends on technical devices. Here we report the first construction of an infectious cDNA full-length clone of beet mosaic virus (BtMV) that can be efficiently used for Agrobacterium-mediated leaf inoculation with high infection rate in Beta vulgaris, being indistinguishable from the natural virus isolate regarding symptom development and vector transmission. Furthermore, the BtMV clone was tagged with the genes for the monomeric red fluorescent protein or the Beta vulgaris BvMYB1 transcription factor, which activates the betalain biosynthesis pathway. The heterologous expression of BvMYB1 results in activation of betalain biosynthesis genes in planta, allowing visualization of the systemic BtMV spread with the naked eye as red pigmentation emerging throughout beet leaves. In the case of BtMV, the BvMYB1 marker system is stable over multiple mechanical host passages, allows qualitative as well as quantitative virus detection and offers an excellent opportunity to label viruses in plants of the order Caryophyllales, allowing an in-depth investigation of virus-host interactions on the whole plant level.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION The Cas13a-based multiplex RNA targeting system can be engineered to confer resistance to RNA viruses, whereas the number and expression levels of gRNAs have no significant effect on viral interference. The CRISPR-Cas systems provide adaptive immunity to bacterial and archaeal species against invading phages and foreign plasmids. The class 2 type VI CRISPR/Cas effector Cas13a has been harnessed to confer the protection against RNA viruses in diverse eukaryotic species. However, whether the number and expression levels of guide RNAs (gRNAs) have effects on the efficiency of RNA virus inhibition is unknown. Here, we repurpose CRISPR/Cas13a in combination with an endogenous tRNA-processing system (polycistronic tRNA-gRNA) to target four genes of potato virus Y (PVY) with varying expression levels. We expressed Cas13a and four different gRNAs in potato lines, and the transgenic plants expressing multiple gRNAs displayed similar suppression of PVY accumulation and reduced disease symptoms as those expressing a single gRNA. Moreover, PTG/Cas13a-transformed plants with different expression levels of multiple gRNAs displayed similar resistance to PVY strains. Collectively, this study suggests that the Cas13a-based multiplex RNA targeting system can be utilized to engineer resistance to RNA viruses in plants, whereas the number and expression levels of gRNAs have no significant effect on CRISPR/Cas13a-mediated viral interference in plants.

Abstract
Resistance to viruses is an important aspect of plant breeding. One way to achieve it is to select genetic resistances based on the susceptibility factors hijacked by the virus to infect the plants. Here, we recount work done on genes encoding translation initiation factors eIF4E, some of the most successful targets for obtaining resistance to potyviruses, starting from their characterization 20 years ago. With examples from different plant species, pepper, tomato, tobacco and arabidopsis, we present the basis of this type of resistances and their characteristics, highlighting the role of gene redundancy among 4E factors, their specificity for the virus and the need for the plant of a trade-off between resistance and development. Finally, we show how the new genome editing techniques could be used in plant breeding to develop eIF4E-based resistances in crops, mimicking the functional alleles that have been selected during evolution in many crops.

Abstract
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) seriously damages cucurbits worldwide. Control of ZYMV by cross-protection has been practised for decades, but selecting useful mild viruses is time-consuming and laborious. Most attenuated potyviruses used for cross-protection do not induce hypersensitive reaction (HR) in Chenopodium quinoa, a local lesion host Chenopodium quinoa. Here, severe ZYMV TW-TN3 tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP), designated ZG, was used for nitrous acid mutagenesis. From three trials, 11 mutants were identified from fluorescent spots without HR in inoculated C. quinoa leaves. Five mutants caused attenuated symptoms in squash plants. The genomic sequences of these five mutants revealed that most of the nonsynonymous changes were located in the HC-Pro gene. The replacement of individual mutated HC-Pros in the ZG backbone and an RNA silencing suppression (RSS) assay indicated that each mutated HC-Pro is defective in RSS function and responsible for reduced virulence. Four mutants provided high degrees of protection (84%-100%) against severe virus TW-TN3 in zucchini squash plants, with ZG 4-10 being selected for removal of the GFP tag. After removal of the GFP gene, Z 4-10 induced symptoms similar to ZG 4-10 and still provided 100% protection against TW-TN3 in squash, thus is considered not a genetically engineered mutant. Therefore, using a GFP reporter to select non-HR mutants of ZYMV from C. quinoa leaves is an efficient way to obtain beneficial mild viruses for cross-protection. This novel approach is being applied to other potyviruses.

Abstract
The planting of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) in Guizhou Province has gradually increased, and the area under cultivation ranks third in China. However, the cultivation and production of passion fruit is severely affected by viral diseases. In 2021 and 2022, we investigated the occurrence of multiple viral diseases in major cultivation areas, identified the main viruses and conducted field surveys in different growing areas of passion fruit in Guizhou Province, China. In total, 308 samples were randomly collected from 10 different passion fruit cultivation areas, and seven viral diseases were identified using electron microscopy, small RNA sequencing, and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Among them, the infection rate of Telosma mosaic virus (TeMV) was the highest (50%), followed by East Asian Passiflora virus (EAPV) (19%), and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) (15%). The detection rates of the other four viruses were lower: Passiflora latent virus (PLV) (1%), turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) (0.6%), Passiflora virus Y (PaVY) (0.3%), and Euphorbia leaf curl virus (ELCV) (6%). In addition, high rates of mixed TeMV + CMV + EAPV infections were found in the province. Notably, 79% of EAPV-infected plants were also infected with TeMV. Finally, the molecular characteristics of the two highly detected potyviruses, TeMV and EAPV, were analyzed. To our knowledge, this study is the first systematic survey of viral diseases of passion fruit in Guizhou Province, China.

Abstract
The application of attenuated viruses has been widely practiced for protecting crops from infection by related severe strains of the same species. Papaya ringspot virus W-type (PRSV W) and zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) devastate cucurbits worldwide. However, the prevailing of these two viruses in cucurbits cannot be prevented by a single protective virus. In this study, we disclosed that co-infection of horn melon plants by two mild strains, PRSV P-type (PRSV P) HA5-1 and ZYMV-ZAC (a previously developed mild mutant of ZYMV) confers concurrent protection against PRSV P and ZYMV. Consequently, mild mutants of PRSV W were created by site-directed mutagenesis through modifications of the pathogenicity motifs FRNK and PD in helper component-protease (HC-Pro). A stable PRSV W mutant WAC (PRSV-WAC) with R181I and D397N mutations in HC-Pro was generated, inducing mild mottling, followed by symptomless recovery in cucurbits. Horn melon plants pre-infected by PRSV-WAC and ZYMV-ZAC showed no apparent interference on viral accumulation with no synergistic effects on symptoms. An agroinfiltration assay of mixed HC-Pros of WACHC-Pro + ZACHC-Pro revealed no additive effect of RNA silencing suppression. PRSV-WAC or ZYMV-ZAC alone only antagonized a severe strain of homologous virus, while co-infection with these two mild strains provided complete protection against both PRSV W and ZYMV. Similar results were reproduced in muskmelon and watermelon plants, indicating the feasibility of a two-in-one vaccine for concurrent control of PRSV W and ZYMV in cucurbits.

Abstract
Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD) is a global constraint to sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) production, especially under intensive cultivation in the humid tropics such as East Africa. The objectives of this study were to develop a precision SPVD phenotyping protocol, to find new SPVD-resistant genotypes, and to standardize the first stages of screening for SPVD resistance. The first part of the protocol was based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results for sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) and sweet potato virus C (SPVC) with adjustments to a negative control (uninfected clone Tanzania) and was performed on a prebreeding population (VZ08) comprising 455 clones and 27 check clones graft inoculated under screenhouse conditions. The second part included field studies with 52 selected clones for SPCSV resistance from VZ08 and 8 checks. In screenhouse conditions, the resistant and susceptible check clones performed as expected; 63 clones from VZ08 exhibited lower relative absorbance values for SPCSV and SPVC than inoculated check Tanzania. Field experiments confirmed SPVD resistance of several clones selected by relative absorbance values (nine resistant clones in two locations; that is, 17.3% of the screenhouse selection), supporting the reliability of our method for SPVD-resistance selection. Two clones were promising, exhibiting high storage root yields of 28.7 to 34.9 t ha-1 and SPVD resistance, based on the proposed selection procedure. This modified serological analysis for SPVD-resistance phenotyping might lead to more efficient development of resistant varieties by reducing costs and time at early stages, and provide solid data for marker-assisted selection with a quantitative tool for classifying resistance.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).

Abstract
The genomic 5'-terminal regions of viruses in the family Potyviridae (potyvirids) encode two types of leader proteases: serine-protease (P1) and cysteine-protease (HCPro), which differ greatly in the arrangement and sequence composition among inter-genus viruses. Most potyvirids have the same tandemly arranged P1 and HCPro, whereas viruses in the genus Macluravirus encode a single distinct leader protease, a truncated version of HCPro with yet-unknown functions. We investigated the RNA silencing suppression (RSS) activity and its underpinning mechanism of the distinct HCPro from alpinia oxyphylla mosaic macluravirus (aHCPro). Sequence analysis revealed that macluraviral HCPros have obvious truncations in the N-terminal and middle regions when aligned to their counterparts in potyviruses (well-characterized viral suppressors of RNA silencing). Nearly all defined elements essential for the RSS activity of potyviral counterparts are not distinguished in macluraviral HCPros. Here, we demonstrated that aHCPro exhibits a similar anti-silencing activity with the potyviral counterpart. However, aHCPro fails to block both the local and systemic spreading of RNA silencing. In line, aHCPro interferes with the dsRNA synthesis, an upstream step in the RNA silencing pathway. Affinity-purification and NanoLC-MS/MS analysis revealed that aHCPro has no association with core components or their potential interactors involving in dsRNA synthesis from the protein layer. Instead, the ectopic expression of aHCPro significantly reduces the transcript abundance of RDR2, RDR6, SGS3, and SDE5. This study represents the first report on the anti-silencing function of Macluravirus-encoded HCPro and the underlying molecular mechanism.

Abstract
Resistance to potyviruses in plants has been largely provided by the selection of natural variant alleles of eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIF) 4E in many crops. However, the sources of such variability for breeding can be limited for certain crop species, while new virus isolates continue to emerge. Different methods of mutagenesis have been applied to inactivate the eIF4E genes to generate virus resistance, but with limited success due to the physiological importance of translation factors and their redundancy. Here, we employed genome editing approaches at the base level to induce non-synonymous mutations in the eIF4E1 gene and create genetic diversity in cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme). We sequentially edited the genomic sequences coding for two regions of eIF4E1 protein, located around the cap-binding pocket and known to be important for susceptibility to potyviruses. We show that the editing of only one of the two regions, by gene knock-in and base editing, respectively, is not sufficient to provide resistance. However, combining amino acid mutations in both regions resulted in resistance to multiple potyviruses without affecting the functionality in translation initiation. Meanwhile, we report that extensive base editing in exonic region can alter RNA splicing pattern, resulting in gene knockout. Altogether our work demonstrates that precision editing allows to design plant factors based on the knowledge on evolutionarily selected alleles and enlarge the gene pool to potentially provide advantageous phenotypes such as pathogen resistance.

Abstract
Mosaic symptoms are commonly observed in virus-infected plants. However, the underlying mechanism by which viruses cause mosaic symptoms as well as the key regulator(s) involved in this process remain unclear. Here, we investigate maize dwarf mosaic disease caused by sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV). We find that the manifestation of mosaic symptoms in SCMV-infected maize plants requires light illumination and is correlated with mitochondrial reactive oxidative species (mROS) accumulation. The transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses results together with the genetic and cytopathological evidence indicate that malate and malate circulation pathways play essential roles in promoting mosaic symptom development. Specifically, at the pre-symptomatic infection stage or infection front, SCMV infection elevates the enzymatic activity of pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase by decreasing the phosphorylation of threonine527 under light, resulting in malate overproduction and subsequent mROS accumulation. Our findings indicate that activated malate circulation contributes to the manifestation of light-dependent mosaic symptoms via mROS.

Abstract
Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) severely damages soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield and seed quality. Moreover, the underlying genetic determinants of resistance to SMV remain largely unknown. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of SMV resistance in a panel of 219 diverse soybean accessions across four environments and identified a new resistance-related gene, GmMLRK1, at the major resistance locus Rsv4 on chromosome 2. GmMLRK1 encodes a malectin-like receptor kinase (RK) that was induced earlier and to a greater degree in leaves of the SMV-resistant cultivar Kefeng No. 1 than in those of the susceptible cultivar Nannong 1138-2 after inoculation. We demonstrated that soybean plants overexpressing GmMLRK1 show broad-spectrum resistance to both strains SC7 and SC3 on the basis of reduced viral accumulation, increased reactive oxygen species production, and local cell death associated with the hypersensitive response. In contrast, GmMLRK1 knockout mutants were more susceptible to both pathotypes. Haplotype analysis revealed the presence of five haplotypes (H1-H5) within the soybean population, and only H1 provided SMV resistance, which was independent of its tightly linked SMV resistance gene RNase-H at the same locus. These results report a novel gene that adds new understanding of SMV resistance and can be used for breeding resistant soybean accessions.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) derived from RNA interference (RNAi) are considered a potentially revolutionary technique in the field of plant protection in the future. However, the application of NPs in RNAi is hindered by the conflict between the high cost of RNA production and the large quantity of materials required for field application. This study aimed to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of commercially available nanomaterials, such as chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (CQAS), amine functionalized silica nano powder (ASNP), and carbon quantum dots (CQD), that carried double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) via various delivery methods, including infiltration, spraying, and root soaking. ASNP-dsRNA NPs are recommended for root soaking, which is considered the most effective method of antiviral compound application. The most effective antiviral compound tested was CQAS-dsRNA NPs delivered by root soaking. Using fluorescence, FITC-CQAS-dsCP-Cy3, and CQD-dsCP-Cy3 NPs demonstrated the uptake and transport pathways of dsRNA NPs in plants when applied to plants in different modes. The duration of protection with NPs applied in various modes was then compared, providing references for evaluating the retention period of various types of NPs. All three types of NPs effectively silenced genes in plants and afforded at least 14 days of protection against viral infection. Particularly, CQD-dsRNA NPs could protect systemic leaves for 21 days following spraying.

Abstract
Malabar spinach plants (Basella alba, Basellaceae) with leaves exhibiting symptoms of mosaic, rugosity, and malformation were found in a community garden on Oahu, HI in 2018. Preliminary studies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR identified Basella rugose mosaic virus (BaRMV) in symptomatic plants. However, nucleotide sequence analysis of RT-PCR amplicons indicated that additional potyviruses were also present in the symptomatic Malabar spinach. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis was conducted on ribosomal RNA-depleted composite RNA samples of potyvirus-positive plants from three locations. Assembled contigs shared sequences similar to BaRMV, chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), Alternanthera mosaic virus (AltMV), Basella alba endornavirus (BaEV), broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2), and Iresine viroid 1. Virus- and viroid-specific primers were designed based on HTS sequencing results and used in RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing to confirm the presence of these viruses and the viroid. We tested 63 additional samples from six community gardens for a survey of viruses in Malabar spinach and found that 21 of them were positive for BaRMV, 57 for ChiVMV, 21 for AltMV, 19 for BaEV, and 14 for BBWV2. This is the first characterization of the virome from B. alba.

Abstract
It has previously been found that turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) greatly suppresses anthocyanin accumulation (AA) in Brassica rapa leaves, and that such leaves become infected whilst anthocyanin-enriched leaves on the same plants are rarely infected. To clarify whether AA is a defense against TuMV, in this study we examined tissue-level patterns of spontaneous AA in relation to the cellular localization of a TuMV strain that expresses a yellow fluorescent protein. We found that TuMV infection was significantly blocked by AA, suggesting that it functions as a chemical barrier against TuMV. We next analysed changes in expression of genes related to anthocyanin biosynthesis in TuMV-infected leaves of Arabidopsis. TuMV also suppressed AA that is induced by high light in Arabidopsis, and this this suppression was mainly due to inhibited expression of anthocyanin late-biosynthesis genes (LBGs). Most positive transcription factors of LBGs were also down-regulated, while the negative regulator SPL15 was highly up-regulated. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) also moderately suppressed AA in Arabidopsis, but in a different manner. Since it appeared that anthocyanin-enriched leaves of Arabidopsis were resistant to TuMV but not CMV, our results suggested that the anthocyanin-associated resistance that we observed was specific to TuMV.

Abstract
Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is one of the most devastating viral pathogens of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr). In total, 22 Chinese SMV strains (SC1-SC22) have been classified based on the responses of 10 soybean cultivars to these pathogens. However, although several SMV-resistance loci in soybean have been identified, no gene conferring SMV resistance in the resistant soybean cultivar (cv.) Kefeng No.1 has been cloned and verified. Here, using F2 -derived F3 (F2:3 ) and recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations from a cross between Kefeng No.1 and susceptible soybean cv. Nannong 1138-2, we localized the gene in Kefeng No.1 that mediated resistance to SMV-SC3 strain to a 90-kb interval on chromosome 2. To study the functions of candidate genes in this interval, we performed Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV)-induced gene silencing (VIGS). We identified a recombinant gene (which we named RSC3 K) harboring an internal deletion of a genomic DNA fragment partially flanking the LOC100526921 and LOC100812666 reference genes as the SMV-SC3 resistance gene. By shuffling genes between infectious SMV DNA clones based on the avirulent isolate SC3 and virulent isolate 1129, we determined that the viral protein P3 is the avirulence determinant mediating SMV-SC3 resistance on Kefeng No.1. P3 interacts with RNase proteins encoded by RSC3 K, LOC100526921, and LOC100812666. The recombinant RSC3 K conveys much higher anti-SMV activity than LOC100526921 and LOC100812666, although those two genes also encode proteins that inhibit SMV accumulation, as revealed by gene silencing in a susceptible cultivar and by overexpression in Nicotiana benthamiana. These findings demonstrate that RSC3 K mediates the resistance of Kefeng No.1 to SMV-SC3 and that SMV resistance of soybean is determined by the antiviral activity of RNase proteins.

Abstract
Papaya (Carica papaya) production is seriously limited by papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) worldwide, including in Vietnam. Control of PRSV by cross protection is dependent on the availability of effective mild strains. Here, an infectious cDNA clone was constructed from PRSV isolate TG5 from South Vietnam. Site-directed mutagenesis with point mutations on the essential motifs of the helper component proteinase (HC-Pro) was performed, with or without deleting five amino acids (d5) from its N-terminal region. Mutants TG-d5, TG-d5I7, and TG-d5L206 containing d5, d5 + F7I, and d5 + F206L, respectively, induced mild mottling followed by symptomless recovery on papaya and infected Chenopodium quinoa without lesion formation. Each mutant accumulated in papaya at reduced levels with a zigzag pattern and was stable beyond six monthly passages. The cross-protection effectiveness of the three mutants in papaya against TG5 was investigated, each with 60 plants from three independent trials. The results showed that each mutant provided complete protection (100%) against TG5, 1 month after the challenge inoculation, as verified by the lack of severe symptoms and lack of local lesions in C. quinoa. Further tests revealed that TG-d5I7 also confers high levels of protection against other severe PRSV isolates from South Vietnam, including isolates DN (97%) and ST2 (50%). However, TG-d5I7 is ineffective or less effective (0 to 33%) against seven other severe PRSV strains from different geographic origins, including the isolate HN from North Vietnam. Our results indicate that the protection by the three mutants is highly strain-specific and suitable for the control of PRSV in South Vietnam.

Abstract
Infection of viruses from the genera Bromovirus, Potyvirus, and Potexvirus in Nicotiana benthamiana induces significant up-regulation of the genes that encode the HSP70 family, including binding immunoglobulin protein 2 (BiP2). Three up-regulated genes were knocked down and infection assays with these knockdown lines demonstrated the importance of the BiP2 gene for potyvirus infection but not for infection by the other tested viruses. Distinct symptoms of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and potato virus X (PVX) were observed in the BiP2 knockdown line at 10 days postagroinfiltration. Interestingly, following inoculation with either soybean mosaic virus (SMV) or pepper mottle virus (PepMoV) co-expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP), neither crinkle symptoms nor GFP signals were observed in the BiP2 knockdown line. Subsequent reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated that knockdown of BiP2 resulted in a significant decrease of SMV and PepMoV RNA accumulation but not PVX or CMV RNA accumulation. Further yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation analyses validated the interaction between BiP2 and nuclear inclusion protein b (NIb) of SMV. Together, our findings suggest the crucial role of BiP2 as a proviral host factor necessary for potyvirus infection. The interaction between BiP2 and NIb may be the critical factor determining susceptibility in N. benthamiana, but further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
The United States potato industry has recently experienced a strain shift; recombinant potato virus Y (PVY) strains (e.g., PVYNTN) have emerged as the predominant strains over the long dominant ordinary strain (PVYO), yet both are often found as single infections within the same field and as mixed infections within individual plants. To understand mixed infection dynamics in potato plants and in daughter tubers, three potato varieties varying for PVY resistance, 'Red Maria', 'CalWhite', and 'Pike', were mechanically inoculated either at the pre- or postflowering stage with all possible heterologous isolate combinations of two PVYO and two PVYNTN isolates. Virus titer was determined from leaves collected at different positions on the plant at different times, and tuber-borne infection was determined for two successive generations. PVYNTN accumulated to higher levels than PVYO at nearly all sampling time points in 'Pike' potato. However, both virus strains accumulated to similar amounts in 'Red Maria' and 'CalWhite' potato early in the infection when inoculated preflowering; however, PVYNTN dominated at later stages and in plants inoculated postflowering. Regardless of inoculation time, both virus strains were transmitted to daughter plants raised from the tubers for most isolate combinations. The relative titer of PVYNTN and PVYO isolates at the later stages of mother plant development was indicative of what was found in the daughter plants. Although virus titer differed among cultivars depending on their genetics and virus isolates, it did not change the strain outcome in tuber-borne infection in subsequent generations. Differential virus accumulation in these cultivars suggests isolate-specific resistance to PVY accumulation.

Abstract
A novel potyvirus was identified in symptomatic hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officinale (L.) Scop.) and wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum L.) in France. The nearly complete genome sequence of hedge mustard mosaic virus (HMMV) was determined, demonstrating that it belongs to a sister species to turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). HMMV readily infected several other members of the family Brassicaceae, including turnip, shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), and arabidopsis. The identification of HMMV as a Brassicaceae-infecting virus closely related to TuMV leads us to question the current scenario of TuMV evolution and suggests a possible alternative one in which transition from a monocot-adapted ancestral lifestyle to a Brassicaceae-adapted one could have occurred earlier than previously recognized.Please check and confirm that the authors and their respective affiliations have been correctly identified and amend if necessary.all OK.

Abstract
A putative candidate gene conferring resistance to SMV strain SC1 was identified on chromosome 2, and the linked marker was validated in soybean cultivars Soybean mosaic, caused by the soybean mosaic virus, is the most common disease in soybean and a significant impediment to soybean production in the Huanghuai and Yangtze River regions of China. Kefeng No.1, a soybean cultivar, showed high resistance to soybean mosaic virus strain (SC1) collected from Huanghuai and Yangtze River regions. Genetic analysis based on the Mendelian genic population derived from the cross Kefeng No.1 × Nannong 1138-2 revealed that Kefeng No.1 possesses a single dominant gene. Furthermore, genetic fine-mapping using an F2 population containing 281 individuals delimited resistant gene to a genomic region of 186 kb flanked by SSR markers BS020610 and BS020620 on chromosome 2. Within this region, there were 14 genes based on the Williams 82 reference genome. According to sequence analysis, six of the 14 genes have amino acid differences, and one of these genes is the Rsv4 allele designated as Rsc1-DR. The functional analysis of candidate genes using the bean pod mottle virus (BPMV)-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system revealed that Rsc1-DR was accountable for Kefeng No.1's resistance to SMV-SC1. Based on the genome sequence of Rsc1-DR, an Insertion/Deletion (InDel) molecular marker, JT0212, was developed and genotyped using 100 soybean cultivars, and the coincidence rate was 89%. The study enriched our understanding of the SMV resistance mechanism. The marker developed in this study could be directly used by the soybean breeders to select the genotypes with favorable alleles for making crosses, and also it will facilitate marker-assisted selection of SMV resistance in soybean breeding.

Abstract
Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), an important pathogen that causes mosaic diseases in vegetable crops worldwide, belongs to the genus Potyvirus of the family Potyviridae. Previously, the areas of genetic variation, population structure, timescale, and migration of TuMV have been well studied. However, the codon usage pattern and host adaptation analysis of TuMV is unclear. Here, compositional bias and codon usage of TuMV were performed using 184 non-recombinant sequences. We found a relatively stable change existed in genomic composition and a slightly lower codon usage choice displayed in TuMV protein-coding sequences. Statistical analysis presented that the codon usage patterns of TuMV protein-coding sequences were mainly affected by natural selection and mutation pressure, and natural selection was the key influencing factor. The codon adaptation index (CAI) and relative codon deoptimization index (RCDI) revealed that TuMV genes were strongly adapted to Brassica oleracea from the present data. Similarity index (SiD) analysis also indicated that B. oleracea is potentially the preferred host of TuMV. Our study provides the first insights for assessing the codon usage bias of TuMV based on complete genomes and will provide better advice for future research on TuMV origins and evolution patterns.

Abstract
Proteins of the alkylation B (AlkB) superfamily show RNA demethylase activity removing methyl adducts from N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A). m6 A is a reversible epigenetic mark of RNA that regulates human virus replication but has unclear roles in plant virus infection. We focused on Potyvirus-the largest genus of plant RNA viruses-and report here the identification of AlkB domains within P1 of endive necrotic mosaic virus (ENMV) and an additional virus of a putative novel species within Potyvirus. We show that Nicotiana benthamiana m6 A levels are reduced by infection of plum pox virus (PPV) and potato virus Y (PVY). The two potyviruses lack AlkB and the results suggest a general involvement of RNA methylation in potyvirus infection and evolution. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing of virus-infected samples showed that m6 A peaks are enriched in plant transcript 3' untranslated regions and in discrete internal and 3' terminal regions of PPV and PVY genomes. Down-regulation of N. benthamiana AlkB homologues of the plant-specific ALKBH9 clade caused a significant decrease in PPV and PVY accumulation. In summary, our study provides evolutionary and experimental evidence that supports the m6 A implication and the proviral roles of AlkB homologues in Potyvirus infection.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most harmful phytopathogens. It causes big problems for potatoes and other important crops around the world. Nanoclays have been extensively studied for various biomedical applications. However, reports on their interactions with phytopathogens, particularly viral infections, are still limited. In this study, the protective activity of Egyptian nanoclay (CE) and standard nanoclay (CS) against PVY was evaluated on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants. Their physicochemical and morphological properties were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). SEM and TEM analyses revealed that CE has a spherical and hexagonal structure ranging from 20 to 80 nm in size, while CS has boulder-like and tubular structures of about 320 nm in size. FTIR and EDS showed that both nanoclay types have different functional groups and contain many vital plant nutrients that are necessary for every stage and process of the plant, including development, productivity, and metabolism. Under greenhouse conditions, a 1% nanoclay foliar application enhanced potato growth, reduced disease symptoms, and reduced PVY accumulation levels compared with non-treated plants. Significant increases in levels of antioxidant enzymes (PPO and POX) and considerable decreases in oxidative stress markers (MDA and H2O2) were also reported. Moreover, a significant increase in the transcriptional levels of defense-related genes (PAL-1, PR-5, and CHI-2) was observed. All experiment and analysis results indicate that the CE type is more effective than the CS type against PVY infection. Based on these results, the foliar applications of nanoclay could be used to manage plant viral infections in a way that is both effective and environmentally friendly. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the antiviral activity of the foliar application of nanoclay against PVY infection.

Abstract
Garlic lost its ability to produce true seeds millennia ago, and today non-fertile commercial cultivars are propagated only vegetatively. Garlic viruses are commonly carried over from one generation of vegetative propagules to the other, while nematodes and arthropods further transmit the pathogens from infected to healthy plants. A recent breakthrough in the production of true (botanical) garlic seeds resulted in rapid scientific progress, but the question of whether viruses are transmitted via seeds remains open and is important for the further development of commercial seed production. We combined morpho-physiological analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and PCR analysis to follow potyvirus localization and translocation within garlic fertile plants and seeds. Spatial distribution was recorded in both vegetative and reproductive organs. We conclude that garlic potyviruses are translocated to the seeds from the infected mother plant during flower development and post-fertilization, while pollen remains virus-free and does not contribute to seed infection. Therefore, the main practical goal for virus-clean seed production in garlic is the careful maintenance of virus-free mother plants. Although garlic pollen is free of potyviral infection, the male parents' plants also need to be protected from contamination, since viral infection weakens plants, reducing flowering ability and pollen production.

Abstract
Potyviruses comprise the largest and most important group of plant positive-strand RNA viruses. The potyviral cell-to-cell movement protein P3N-PIPO is expressed via transcriptional slippage at a conserved GAAAAAA sequence, leading to insertion of an extra 'A' in a proportion of viral transcripts. Transcriptional slippage is determined by the potyviral replicase, the conserved slippery site, and its flanking nucleotides. Here, we investigate the dynamics of transcriptional slippage at different slip-site sequences, infection stages, and environmental conditions. We detect a modest increase in the level of transcripts with insertion towards later timepoints. In addition, we investigate the fate of transcripts with insertion by separately looking at different RNA subpopulations: (+)RNA, (-)RNA, translated RNA, and virion RNA. We find differences in insertional slippage between (+)RNA and (-)RNA but not other subpopulations. Our results suggest that there can be selection against the use of (-)RNAs with insertions as templates for transcription or replication and demonstrate that insertional slippage can occur at high frequency also during (-)RNA synthesis. Since transcripts with insertions are potential targets for degradation, we investigate the connection to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). We find that these transcripts are targeted to NMD, but we only observe an impact on the level of transcripts with insertion when the insertional slippage rate is high. Together, these results further our understanding of the mechanism and elucidate the dynamics of potyviral transcriptional slippage. [Formula: see text] Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).

Abstract
To uncover novel genes associated with the Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) response, we used RNA-Seq data to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and transcript expression pattern clusters between a tolerant/resistant (CI-RL1) and a susceptible (B73) line, in addition to the F1 progeny (CI-RL1xB73). A Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment of DEGs led us to propose three genes possibly associated with the CI-RL1 response: a heat shock 90-2 protein and two ABC transporters. Through a clustering analysis of the transcript expression patterns (CTEPs), we identified two genes putatively involved in viral systemic spread: the maize homologs to the PIEZO channel (ZmPiezo) and to the Potyvirus VPg Interacting Protein 1 (ZmPVIP1). We also observed the complex behavior of the maize eukaryotic factors ZmeIF4E and Zm-elfa (involved in translation), homologs to eIF4E and eEF1α in A. thaliana. Together, the DEG and CTEPs results lead us to suggest that the tolerant/resistant CI-RL1 response to the SCMV encompasses the action of diverse genes and, for the first time, that maize translation factors are associated with viral interaction.
