A pepper strain of Cucumber mosaic virus (Pf-CMV) induces a mild chlorotic spot symptom in zucchini squash at 9 days post-inoculation (dpi), wile Fny strain of CMV causes severe mosaic and stunting symptom at 4 dpi in this host. Pseudorecombinants were constructed between the two strains, and assessments of symptom severity were indicated that both RNA2 and RNA3 were responsible for both mildness and the slow appearance of symptom elicited by Pf-CMV in zucchini squash. With various RNA2 and RNA3 chimeras between two strains of CMV, the genetic symptom determinants of phenotype of Pf-CMV were mapped to Tyr residue at positions amino acid 267 in 2a protein and at positions amino acid 168 in 3a movement protein (MP). Chimeras changed the sequences (both changed Tyr to lie) in the codons of both amino acid 168 of 3a MP and amino acid 267 of 2a protein were resulted in the high RNA accumulation, severity of symptom, and the rapid systemic spread, suggesting that 2a replicase as well as MP is involved in virus movement. The RNA accumulation pattern of all pseudorecombinants and chimeras are identical in protoplast of zucchini squash, indicating the virus movement is responsible for the phenotypes of two CMV strains rather than virus replication.

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) belongs to genus Cucumovirus. The Cucumovirus group contains three distinct members： CMV, Tomato aspermy virus (TAV), and Peanut stunt virus (PSV). The type member, CMV is the most widespread and most studied. CMV is isometric particles about 30 nm in diameter. The genome of CMV is divided into three RNAs. In addition, RNA extracted from virus particles contains a fourth RNA that is a subgenomic RNA generated from RNA3. RNA1 and RNA2 are each encapsidated in separate particles, whereas RNAs3 and 4 are coencapsidated in a third particle. Hence, inoculation by three particles, transmitted either mechanically or by the aphid vector, is required to infect plants.(중략)

Whereas most of isolates of Cucumber mosaic virus(CMV) can induce green mosaic systemic symptoms on zucchini squash, foliar symptoms of a pepper isolate of CMV (Pf-CMV)-infected zucchini squash revealed systemic chlorotic spots. To assess this biological property, infectious full-length cDNA clones of Pf-CMV were constructed using long-template RT-PCR. The complete nucleotide sequences of RNA2 and RNA3 of Pf-CMV were determined from the infectious fulllength cDNA clones, respectively. RNA 2 and RNA3 of Pf-CMV contain 3,070 nucleotides and 2,213 nucleotides, respectively. Overall sequence homology of two RNAs revealed high similarity (90%) between CMV strains, and 60% similarity to those of Tomato aspermy virus and Peanut stunt virus strains. By sequence analysis with known representative strains of CMV, Pf- CMV belongs to a typical member of CMV subgroup IA. The virus has high evolutionary relationship with Fny-CMV, but the pathology of Pf-CMV in zucchini squash was quite different from that of Fny-CMV. The pesudorecombinant virus, F1P2P3, induced chlorotic spot leaf symptom and timing of systemic symptom in squash plants, similar to the plants infected by Pf-CMV. No systemic symptoms were observed when Pf-CMVinoculated cotyledons were removed at 5 days postinoculation (dpi) while Fny-CMV showed systemic symptom at 2 dpi. These results suggest that the pepper isolate of CMV possesses unique pathological properties distinguishable to other isolates of CMVs in zucchini squash.

Two Korean isolates of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AHV-AZ, AMV-KR) were isolated from azuki bean and potato plants, respectively, and their pathologies were confirmed on some susceptible host plants including pepper, tobacco and red bean plants. Full length cDNAs to RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3 of the two Korean strains were amplified using the long-template reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. RT-PCR products covering entire regions for the three AMV genome RNAs were cloned. RNA transcripts were synthesized in vitro from each clones using T7 RNA polymerase and infectivity test was peformed in 9 reassortment sets of transcripts. All the combinations of reassorted transcripts were found to be infectious when inoculated onto Nicotiana benthamiana plants, and were not distinguishable to those of wild types. The full-length cDNA clones that were confirmed infectious were sequenced their nucleotide sequences. We will discuss sequence analysis of the two Korean isolates of AMV genomic RNA3 and compare reported foreign isolates of AMV.

Three isolates of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from lily plants showing mosaic and distortion symptoms were detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using primers specific to Cucumovirus genus namely, LK-CMV, LK4-CMV, and LKS-CMV. Restriction enzymes patterns of the RT-PCR products revealed that the lily isolates belonged to subgroup IA of CMV. In terms of biological properties, the lily isolates have highly similar but distinct pathogenicity as reported in other lily strains and ordinary strains of CMV. To characterize the molecular properties, cDNAs containing coat protein (CP) gene and 3' non-coding region (NCR) of RNA3 for the isolates were cloned and their nucleotide sequences were determined. The CP similarity (218 amino acids) was highly homologous (>97％) with that of subgroup I CMV strains. However, an additional 20-nulcleotide long segment was only present in 3' NCR of lily isolates, which form an additional stem-loop RNA structure. By using chimeric construct exchange cDNA containing 3'NCR of LK-CMV into the full-length cDNA clone of RNA3 of Fny-CMV, this additional segment may prove to be significant in the identification and fitness of the virus in lily plants. The pathology of zucchini squash infected by F1F2L3-CMV, a pseudorecombinant virus was showed to change drastically the severe mosaic and stunting symptom into a mild chlorotic spot on systemic leave, compared with Fny-CMV. To delimit the sequence of RNA3 affected the pathology, various RNA3 chimeras were constructed between two strains of CMV. The symptom determinants of F1F2L3-CMV were mapped to the positions amino acid 234, 239, and 250 in 3a movement protein (MP). RNA3 chimeras changed the sequences encoding three amino acids were resulted in alteration of systemic symptom.

Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) is a widely cultivated and commercially important fruit crop, which is occasionally subject to severe economic losses due to latent viral infections. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine and provide a comprehensive overview of virus populations infecting a major pear cultivar ('Singo') in Korea. From June 2017 to October 2019, leaf samples (n = 110) of pear trees from 35 orchards in five major pear-producing regions were collected and subjected to RNA sequencing. Most virus-associated contigs matched the sequences of known viruses, including apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and apple stem pitting virus (ASPV). However, some contigs matched the sequences of apple green crinkle-associated virus and cucumber mosaic virus. In addition, three complete or nearly complete genomes were constructed based on transcriptome data and subjected to phylogenetic analyses. Based on the number of virus-associated reads, ASGV and ASPV were identified as the dominant viruses of 'Singo.' The present study describes the virome of a major pear cultivar in Korea, and looks into the diversity of viral communities in this cultivar. This study can provide valuable information on the complexity of genetic variability of viruses infecting pear trees.

식물 RNA 바이러스는 전세계적으로 작물 생산량에 큰 손실을 일으키는 주요 병원체 중 하나로, RNA 바이러스가 갖는 특징인 짧은 복제 주기, 게놈 복제 중의 높은 변이 발생률 등으로 인해 높은 유전적 다양성과 적응성을 가지며 진화해 왔다. 식물 RNA 바이러스는 유전적 다양성을 갖는 유사종 군집으로 존재하며, 환경 변화에 따른 선택압으로 새로운 적합성을 갖는 군집으로의 변천이 빠르게 일어날 수 있다. 식물의 저항성은 일종의 선택압으로 작용하여 바이러스의 적합성에 영향을 미치며, 이는 기주의 저항성을 극복하는 변이 바이러스의 출현으로 이어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 식물 RNA 바이러스에 대한 진화적 관점 및 진화의 원동력을 소개하고, 이를 바탕으로 식물 저항성을 극복하는 변이 바이러스의 출현 기작을 다루고자 한다. 또한 바이러스병에 대한 저항성 전개 및 내구성 향상을 위한 전략에 대해 논하였다.

A method based on RNA-transcript conformation polymorphism (TCP) was tested for detection of two PVY isolates in a mixed infection. Differences in electrophoretic mobility of RNA transcripts copied from PCR products of each virus isolate enabled the distinction between the two virus isolates in a mixed infection. The identities of the RNA transcripts and hence of the infecting virus isolates were determined by annealing to reference oligonucleotides containing unique strain-specific sequences visualized by retardation of transcript mobility in gel. The ratio at which both virus isolates could be detected was as low as 1:10. The suitability of this procedure for the study of mixed virus infections is discussed.

Complementary DNA of the genomic RNA of odontoglossum ringspot virus Cymbidium strain (ORSV-Cy) was synthesized from polyadenylated viral RNA and cloned. Selected clones containing the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene of the virus has been sequenced by automated sequencing system. The complete nucleotide sequence of an open reading frame is 1377 base pairs in length, and encodes a protein of 458 amino acids about 52, 334 D. The 52 kD protein of ORSV shares four sequence motifs characteristic of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Comparison of the ORSV 52 kD protein sequence with that of other five viruses in tobamovirus group showed 76.0 to 60.7% homologies at the amino acid level and the conservation of the four motifs betwen the viruses.
