Characterizations of Disease Symptoms and Virus Replication Shown in the Interactions Between Arabidopsis

Molecular analysis has been done for characterization of the interactions between three beet curly top virus (BCTV) strains and two Arabidopsis ecotypes in terms of virus inducible disease symptoms and infectivities. The total DNA was isolated from three tissues (shoot tips, infection origins and roots) of virus infected plants and this DNA was analyzed by quantitatively and qualitatively to elucidate virus movement and symptom development. CTV-Worland infected Col-O and Sei-O showed only symptom shown in hypersusceptible ecotype Sei-O by BCTV-worland was shoot tip stunting. Kinetics of virus DNA accumulation of three different viruses indicated that roots contained more virus DNA than shoot tips or infection origins, and that disease symptom severity was strongly correlated with virus DNA accumulation. These results suggest that the mild and Worland-specific symptoms shown in Sei-O by BCTV-worland are caused by the interactions of host factors provided by hypersusceptible ecotype and viral factors of mild strain.
