Citrus plants are natural hosts of five viroid species and large numbers of sequence variants. In this paper a simple and sensitive one step multiplex RT-PCR protocol with an internal control was utilised to simultaneously detect and differentiate five citrus viroids: Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd), Citrus bent leaf viroid (CBLVd), Hop stunt viroid (HSVd), Citrus viroid-III (CVd-III) and Citrus viroid-IV (CVd-IV). In addition, a micro and rapid total nucleic acid extraction method was developed and the protocol applied to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of citrus viroids in China.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd), Citrus bent leaf viroid (CBLVd), a noncachexia variant of Hop stunt viroid (HSVd), Citrus viroid III (CVd-III), and Citrus viroid IV (CVd-IV) were co-inoculated as two-, three-, four-, and five-viroid mixtures to Clementine trees grafted on trifoliate orange to evaluate their effect on symptom expression, tree growth, and fruit yield. Most trees infected with CEVd-containing viroid mixtures developed exocortis scaling symptoms, as did CEVd alone, whereas most trees infected with HSVd- or CVd-IV-containing mixtures developed bark-cracking symptoms. Trees infected with mixtures containing both CEVd and CVd-IV revealed the existence of antagonism between these two viroids in terms of the expected bark-scaling and cracking symptoms. Synergistic interactions also were identified in trees infected with certain viroid combinations that, in spite of lacking CEVd, expressed exocortis-like scaling symptoms. Viroid interactions also affected the expected response of trees in terms of vegetative growth and fruit yield. Trees infected with viroid combinations containing CEVd or CVd-III were smaller and produced less fruit than trees infected with mixtures not containing these viroids. Viroid interactions on scion circumference and cumulative fruit yield, in terms of additivity of their effects, were statistically confirmed using a factorial analysis of variance model with two mean estimation approaches. In single-viroid infections, CEVd, CVd-III, and, to a lesser extent, CBLVd consistently and significantly reduced tree size and fruit yield. Conversely, HSVd and CVd-IV slightly increased fruit yield and reduced scion circumference. Rare and not consistent significant interactions were detected with the five-, four-, and three-viroid combinations. Antagonistic interactions between CEVd and CVd-III or CBLVd and CVd-III were revealed over the years with consistent significance. The antagonistic interaction between CEVd and CVd-IV was highly significant over the years when additional viroids were present; however, this antagonism appeared much later in the case of an exclusive interaction. HSVd and CVd-IV showed a consistent and significant synergistic interaction on yield only when both viroids were exclusively present. These results demonstrate antagonistic or synergistic relationships between citrus viroids depending on the viroid mixtures present in the host.  相似文献

Seventy four percent of the budwood tree sources samples from the Greek national citrus germplasm foundation collection were positive for one or more viroids. Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) and Hop stunt viroid (HSVd), the two potentially damaging viroids for the Greek citriculture, especially after transitioning to Citrus tristeza virus resistant/tolerant rootstocks and scions, were detected along with Citrus bark cracking viroid, Citrus bent leaf viroid (CBLVd), and Citrus dwarfing viroid (CDVd). All samples tested negative for Citrus viroid V (CVd-V), CVd-VI and CVd-I-LSS (CBLVd variant). An HSVd isolate related to the non-cachexia variant contained two critical cachexia-related nucleotide changes, while two more isolates were unique among the previously reported HSVds. Unusual CDVd isolates with altered RNA secondary structure were identified in trees additionally co-infected with CEVd and HSVd. Budwood sources that had previously undergone therapy tested negative for all targeted viroids, suggesting that budwood sources in Greece can be protected against graft-transmissible pathogens, even under severe inoculum pressure. Therapied and tested citrus propagative material requires a comprehensive program not available currently in Greece, involving regulators, scientists, and the private sector, for the establishment and successful operation of a national citrus germplasm collection.  相似文献

Mechanical inoculations with contaminating tools and propagation of infected budwood were considered the main causes for the omnipresence of multiple viroid species among citrus and other Middle Eastern and Mediterranean fruit trees and grapevines. However, neither means could explain viroid infections of wild trees — scattered on terrains inaccessible to humans — nor the finding of similar viroids among graft-incompatible plants. Northern hybridization of RNA extracts made of scrapings from the surfaces of goat (Capra hircus) horns that were rubbed against etrog (Citrus medica) stems infected with a citrus viroids complex, revealed accumulation of considerable amounts ofCitrus exocortis viroids (CEVd) andHop stunt viroids (HSVd). Experimental transmission of both CEVd and HSVd was obtained by rubbing healthy citrus plants with goat horns that had been rubbed 24 h earlier on infected etrog stems. These results implicate goats as possible vectors of viroids. Transmissionvia goats could have facilitated the long-range spread of viroids among cultivated and wild plants andvice versa and also among graft-incompatible plants.  相似文献

In studies to identify genotypes resistant to infection with citrus viroids, Eremocitrus glauca and Microcitrus australis were selected because their evolution in their habitat in Australia and New Guinea may have led to the selection of unusual traits. The movement and accumulation of Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd), Hop stunt viroid, Citrus bent leaf viroid, Citrus dwarfing viroid, Citrus bark cracking viroid and Citrus viroid V (CVd‐V) in self‐rooted as well as in graft‐ propagated E. glauca and M. australis plants was assessed by northern hybridization, RT‐PCR and by topworking to the sensitive selection 861‐S1 of Etrog citron. In both plant species the inoculated viroids were undetectable unless these plants were grafted to a susceptible Citrus partner, the rough lemon rootstock and/or the topworked Etrog citron, which acted as viroid sources. The results obtained indicate that M. australis and in particular E. glauca are poor viroid hosts in which viroid replication/accumulation does not occur or is extremely inefficient. However, viroid downward and upward movement to grafted Citrus partners in which viroid replication and accumulation occurs efficiently was not impaired. Eremocitrus glauca and M. australis showed differences regarding their properties as viroid hosts, but for both species CEVd seemed to have the lowest affinity among the viroid species tested and CVd‐V the highest. Even though E. glauca and M. australis do not appear to be truly resistant to viroid infection, they are interesting genotypes for further characterization of the mechanisms involved in viroid infection.  相似文献

CVd-I-LSS (low sequence similarity), a variant of Citrus bent leaf viroid (CBLVd), was first discovered in Japan, and its distribution is currently limited to Japan and Iran. In the present study, seven CVd-I-LSS isolates were detected from different citrus hosts (Citrus sinensis, C. reticulata and C. limettioides) in Pakistan and China. Genetic diversity analysis of 49 cDNAs of CVd-I-LSS isolates showed that the Pakistan population was more diverse than that tested from Japan or China. Phylogenetic analysis clustered the predominant sequences examined into three main clades. Only sequences from the Pakistan isolates were found in all three clades, suggesting Pakistan may be the original source of CVd-I-LSS. Cultivar import records and the close phylogenetic relationship found between CVd-I-LSS from China and Japan suggested that the viroid isolated from China might have originated from Japan.  相似文献

Tissue-imprint hybridization (TIH) assay was validated for large-scale detection of Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) and Hop stunt viroid (HSVd). All 72 collected leaves (100%) from 2 PLMVd- and 2 HSVd-infected trees were positive in TIH, regardless of the geographic orientation of the scaffold, level of the canopy and position of the leaf in the shoot. In a large-scale survey in Serbia, we tested by TIH 871 trees of stone fruits, representing 602 cultivars from fruit collections in Belgrade, Čačak and Novi Sad. PLMVd was detected in 185 (50%) peach trees or 95 (54%) cultivars and HSVd in 2 apricot trees and cultivars (2%). The occurrence of HSVd is a new report for Serbia. No viroid infection was found in European plums, sweet cherries, sour cherries and wild Prunus spp. PLMVd-infected peach cultivars originated from the world’s main breeding centres of this crop. Western European and Asian cultivars were the most infected (58%) followed by those originating from North America (50%). Nine PLMVd and two HSVd isolates were sequenced and analyzed. All showed PMLVd sequences clustered together in the previously reported phylogenetic group III. Both HSVd isolates were found to be derived from recombinant events, but that of the cv. Saturn represented a putative new phylogenetic group of HSVd.  相似文献

The province of Murcia (Murcia Region) is the one of the most important apricot growing regions in Europe. In recent years a fruit disorder named by growers as “degeneración” has been detected in apricot commercial orchards of this region, mainly in the variety Velázquez Fino. Affected fruits are characterized by changes in their external appearance involving rugosity and a loss of organoleptic characteristics, which leads to an unmarketable product. In order to identify the causal agent of this disorder, the presence of the most important viruses affecting stone fruit trees and Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) was tested. While negative results were obtained for all viruses analysed, the viroid was detected in all the symptomatic trees. Within a single tree, the viroid was restricted to branches bearing fruits with the characteristic symptoms but was usually absent from the rest of the tree. Sequence analysis of several isolates of HSVd obtained from these affected trees revealed the presence of two variants previously detected in other apricot cultivars. Taken together, these results suggest that degeneration is associated with HSVd.  相似文献

A viroid etiology for citrus gummy bark (CGB) disease of sweet orange is supported by the similarity of symptom expression to cachexia disease of mandarins and tangelos caused by the hop stunt viroid (HSVd) related citrus viroid II (CVd-II), as well as the detection of CVd-II variants in CGB infected Washington navel and Dörtyol sweet orange, a Turkish cultivar. A survey was made of 67 clones of CVd-II related variants recovered from severe CGB symptomatic and non-symptomatic trees of the same cultivars growing in close proximity. Only CVd-IIa, a non-cachexia inducing variant, was found in non-symptomatic Washington navel trees and no CVd-II variants were recovered from the Dörtyol control. CGB infected sources contained a number of CVd-II related variants with the predominant species detected closely related to CVd-IIc, a known cachexia inducing viroid. Biological activity of representactive variants from CGB sources was determined by transmission to citron (Citrus medica) as well as by bioassay on the indexing host for cachexia, Parson's Special mandarin (Citrus reticulata).  相似文献

ABSTRACT Citrus viroid (CVd) group II is comprised of hop stunt viroid (HSVd)-related variants of 295 to 302 nucleotides. Included in this group are the cachexia-inducing agents citrus cachexia viroid (or CVd-IIb), CVd-IIc, Ca-903, and Ca-909 as well as the non-cachexia-inducing variant CVd-IIa. The cachexia indexing hosts 'Parson's Special' mandarin and 'Orlando' tangelo as well as Citrus macrophylla responded with symptoms of gumming, discoloration, and stem pitting when infected by CVd-IIb, CVd-IIc, or Ca-903. However, 'Palestine' sweet lime, the indicator host used to describe the xyloporosis disease, displayed a distinctly different fine-pitting reaction and no discoloration or gumming when infected by the same viroids. Cachexia-inducing variants contain a number of nucleotide changes more similar to hop-type HSVd sequences than to the citrus-type HSVd sequences, as typified by CVd-IIa. The nucleotide sequence of CVd-IIc was identical to CVd group II isolates common to trees expressing xyloporosis. Experimental evidence indicates that either CVd-IIb or CVd-IIc can cause citrus diseases known as cachexia and xyloporosis and that the two disease designations reflect the distinct responses of different indexing hosts to the same viroids.  相似文献

Surveys of Impatiens and Verbena species in local nurseries in Fredericton, Canada and Verbena species in New Delhi, India showed widespread infection of Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) in vegetatively-propagated and seed-grown plants. To determine viroid seed transmission, samples of eight varieties of Impatiens and 11 varieties of Verbena were obtained from four commercial sources. All 19 samples collected contained viroid infection irrespective of variety. The presence of viroid in non-germinated seed was 21%, while the transmission rate in seedlings was 66% in Impatiens walleriana in 2006. Following 2 years of seed storage, the respective figures were 6% and 26%. Similarly, in Verbena x hybrida the presence of viroid in seed was 13% in 2006 with a seed-transmission rate in seedlings of 28%, while the respective figures after 2 years of storage were 5% and 45%.  相似文献
