The 5895 nucleotide long single-stranded RNA genome of Sugarcane yellow leaf virus Florida isolate (SCYLV-F) includes six major ORFs. All but the first these are homologous to genes known function encoded by viruses three newly defined genera in Luteoviridae (‘luteovirids’), i.e. poleroviruses, luccccteoviruses and enamoviruses. SCYLV-F ORFs 1 2 most closely related their polerovirus counterparts, whereas 3 4 counterparts luteovirus genomes, ORF5 is read-through protein gene only enamovirus....
A sensitive assay based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been developed to detect sugarcane bacilliform badnavirus (SCBV) in diseased plants. Two sets of primer pairs, which prime synthesis DNA from putative aspartic protease and reverse transcriptase coding regions, were evaluated. Best results obtained with pair SCBVF5 SCBVR5, primes a 221-bp virus-specific fragment total nucleic acid extracts The viral origin PCR products was confirmed by Southern hybridization 1,602-bp cloned...
Biochemical and cytochemical responses of leaves the tropical pasture legume Stylosanthes guianensis cv. Graham to infection by a compatible incompatible race Colletotrichum gloeosporioides have been investigated. No evidence for synthesis phytoalexins induction enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase was obtained. Peroxidase induced but with little difference between two interactions. Cytochemical staining radiolabelling [ 14 C]cinnamic acid indicated that not associated cell-wall lignification....
Chlorotic streak is a global disease of commercial sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). The transmitted by wet soil, water, as well in diseased planting material. Although first recognized almost 90 years ago and despite significant research effort, the identity causal agent has been elusive. Metagenomic high throughput sequencing (HTS) facilitated discovery novel protistan ribosomal nuclear genes chlorotic streak-infected sugarcane. These sequences suggest possible belonging to order...
A cercomonad, named Phytocercomonas venanatans, is confirmed as the cause of sugarcane disease chlorotic streak. This was achieved by establishing aseptic liquid cultures pathogen isolated from internal pieces stalk tissue. Actively motile were inoculated into roots, stalks, and leaf whorls. Infected plants subsequently developed characteristic symptoms Infection PCR screening plant tissues reisolation culture followed microscopic confirmation. P. venanatans first reported pathogenic...
Maize stripe virus is a pathogen of corn and sorghum in subtropical tropical regions worldwide. We used high-throughput sequencing to obtain the complete nucleotide sequence for reference genome maize genomes ten additional isolates collected from United States or Papua New Guinea. Genetically, most closely related rice virus. completed characterized RNA1 virus, which revealed large open reading frame encoding putative protein with ovarian tumor-like cysteine protease, endonuclease,...
Ramu stunt is a serious disease of sugarcane, currently only reported from Papua New Guinea. It found in both commercial sugarcane grown on the Agri Industries Limited (RAIL) estate and chewing canes (Saccharum officinarum L.) village gardens. The vector island planthopper, Eumetopina flavipes Muir. Here we report successful transmission using E. verify that caused by virus, virus with homology to genus Tenuivirus. Diagnostic reverse transcription PCR screening, partial genome sequencing...
