The virulence factor of Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV), a virus that induces systemic necrotic spot disease on melon plants, was investigated. When the replication protein p29 was expressed in N. benthamiana using a Cucumber mosaic virus vector, necrotic spots appeared on the leaf tissue. Transmission electron microscopy revealed abnormal mitochondrial aggregation in these tissues. Fractionat...

ABSTRACT Cucurbit leaf curl virus (CuLCV), a whitefly-transmitted geminivirus previously partially characterized from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, was identified as a distinct bipartite begomovirus species. This virus has near sequence identity with the previously partially characterized Cucurbit leaf crumple virus from California. Experimental and natural host range stud...

Pathogenesis-related protein-la (PR-la) is a protein of unknown function that is strongly induced during the onset of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in tobacco. The expression of PR-la is under complex regulation that is controlled at least partially by the rate of transcription. In this study, we demonstrated that 661 bp of 5’flanking DNA was sufficient to impart tobacco mosaic virus and s...

The soybean Rsv1 gene for resistance to soybean mosaic virus (SMV; Potyvirus) has previously been described as a single-locus multi-allelic gene mapping to molecular linkage group (MLG) F. Various Rsv1 alleles condition different responses to the seven (G1-G7) described strains of SMV, including extreme resistance, localized and systemic necrosis, and mosaic symptoms. We describe the cloning of...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of nonthermal extremely high-frequency microwave radiations in a plant-based bioassay, represented by tobacco plants reacting to tobacco mosaic virus with a hypersensitive response leading to the appearance of necrotic lesions at the infection sites. DESIGN This study was performed blind and different experimental protocols o...

In this report, we present the first description of nine complete genome sequences a new strain chayote yellow mosaic virus (ChaYMV, genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae), provisionally named Côte d’Ivoire (ChaYMV-CI), isolated from bitter melon (Momordica charantia) leaf samples showing symptoms collected in region Abidjan 2013 and 2019. The nucleotide ChaYMV-CI DNA-A-like share highest seq...

Molecular identification of Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus on chili pepper in Nusa Penida Island. (PYLCV) has been reported as caused disease Bali Island since early 2012. Dominant symptoms PYLCV infection were yellowing, curl, mosaic, and mottle. Bemisia tabaci, known to vector the case disease. Observations 2020 showed such disease, however, not studied. was conducted using polymeras...

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic disorder characterized by persistent hepatocellular inflammation and necrosis. AIH overlap syndromes with other autoimmune diseases have been reported, including connective tissue diseases (CTD). Reports of AIH in systemic sclerosis (SSc), however, are scarce and have been particularly described in the limited SSc subtype. We report a case of systemic scl...

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is one of the most devastating viruses infecting members of the family Cucurbitaceae. The assembly initiation site of CGMMV is located in the coding region of the coat protein, which is not only involved in virion assembly but is also a key factor determining the long-distance movement of the virus. To understand the effect of assembly initiation site ...

Abstract Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is a new member of the genus Tobamovirus , and has potential to affect production marketability tomatoes peppers. In this study, we sequenced analyzed complete genome ToBRFV isolates from tomato plants showing mosaic mottling symptoms in Yunnan Province China. We constructed full-length infectious cDNA clone ToBRFV, which could induce systemic i...
