Genome Sequence of a Novel Iflavirus from the Leafhopper, Graminella nigrifrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel iflavirus was discovered from the transcriptome of the leafhopper Graminella nigrifrons. The assembled virus genome has 9,700 nucleotides (nt) and encodes a 3,035-amino-acid polyprotein. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the sequence encoding the polyprotein and indicated a genome length of 9,617 nt with a polyadenylated tail.

Transcriptome of the Plant Virus Vector Graminella nigrifrons, and the Molecular Interactions of Maize fine streak rhabdovirus Transmission
BACKGROUND Leafhoppers (HEmiptera: Cicadellidae) are plant-phloem feeders that are known for their ability to vector plant pathogens. The black-faced leafhopper (Graminella nigrifrons) has been identified as the only known vector for the Maize fine streak virus (MFSV), an emerging plant pathogen in the Rhabdoviridae. Within G. nigrifrons populations, individuals can be experimentally separated ...
متن کاملIdentification of Graminella nigrifrons as a potential vector for phytoplasmas affecting Prunus and Pyrus species in Canada
Prunus and Pyrus species affected with phytoplasma diseases, as well as leafhopper species collected from Prunus and Pyrus fields in Ontario, Canada were tested for presence of phytoplasmas. Preliminary results showed that Graminella nigrifrons is a potential vector for phytoplasma groups 16SrI-W (‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’), and 16SrVII-A (‘Candidatus Phytoplasma fraxini’) to a variety o...

To determine the most economical and efficient means to maintain cultures of Maize chlorotic dwarf virus (MCDV) and to screen for host plant resistance to MCDV, we evaluated the effects of temperature, light intensity, daylength, atmospheric pressure, and leafhopper gender on the frequency of transmission of MCDV by Grarminella nigrifrons Forbes (Homoptera: Cicadellidae). Female leafhoppers tra...
متن کاملGenetic Insights into Graminella nigrifrons Competence for Maize fine streak virus Infection and Transmission
BACKGROUND Most plant-infecting rhabdoviruses are transmitted by one or a few closely related insect species. Additionally, intraspecific differences in transmission efficacy often exist among races/biotypes within vector species and among strains within a virus species. The black-faced leafhopper, Graminella nigrifrons, is the only known vector of the persistent propagative rhabdovirus Maize f...
متن کاملPlant host range and leafhopper transmission of maize fine streak virus.
Maize fine streak virus (MFSV), an emerging Rhabdovirus sp. in the genus Nucleorhabdovirus, is persistently transmitted by the black-faced leafhopper, Graminella nigrifrons (Forbes). MFSV was transmitted to maize, wheat, oat, rye, barley, foxtail, annual ryegrass, and quackgrass by G. nigrifrons. Parameters affecting efficiency of MFSV acquisition (infection) and transmission (inoculation) to m...
