OPENOpen Access licenseClimatic Clustering and Longitudinal Analysis with Impacts on Food, Bioenergy, and Pandemics
AbstractAbstract
Predicted growth in world population will put unparalleled stress on the need for sustainable energy and global food production, as well as increase the likelihood of future pandemics. In this work, we identify high-resolution environmental zones in the ...- OPENOpen Access license
Differential Spread of Grapevine Red Blotch Virus in California and New York Vineyards
AbstractAbstract
Limited information is available on the spread dynamics of grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV, genus Grablovirus, family Geminiviridae) in vineyards. In this study, we investigated red blotch disease progress in three vineyards with a disparate initial ... - OPENOpen Access license
The VirAnnot Pipeline: A Resource for Automated Viral Diversity Estimation and Operational Taxonomy Units Assignation for Virome Sequencing Data
AbstractAbstract
Viral metagenomics relies on high-throughput sequencing and on bioinformatic analyses to access the genetic content and diversity of entire viral communities. No universally accepted strategy or tool currently exists to define operational taxonomy units (... - OPENOpen Access license
Datamining, Genetic Diversity Analyses, and Phylogeographic Reconstructions Redefine the Worldwide Evolutionary History of Grapevine Pinot gris virus and Grapevine berry inner necrosis virus
AbstractAbstract
The recently described member of the genus Trichovirus grapevine Pinot gris virus (GPGV) has now been detected in most grape-growing countries. While it has been associated with severe mottling and deformation symptoms under some circumstances, it has ... - OPENOpen Access license
Distinct Responses of Vitis aestivalis ‘Norton’ and Vitis vinifera ‘Kishmish Vatkana’ to Seven Viruses Revealed by Small RNA Sequencing
AbstractAbstract
Grapevines are frequently infected by multiple viruses. Our previous study showed that Norton grapevine (Vitis aestivalis) is resistant to grapevine vein clearing virus (GVCV), a DNA virus in the family Caulimoviridae. To study the reaction of Norton to ... - OPENOpen Access license
Rapid Multilocus Adaptation of Clonal Cabbage Leaf Curl Virus Populations to Arabidopsis thaliana
AbstractAbstract
Cabbage leaf curl virus (CabLCV) has a bipartite single-stranded DNA genome and infects the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. CabLCV serves as a model for the genus Begomovirus, members of which cause tremendous crop losses worldwide. We have used CabLCV ... - OPENOpen Access license
RNA Viral Communities Are Structured by Host Plant Phylogeny in Oak and Conifer Leaves
AbstractAbstract
Wild plants can suffer devastating diseases, experience asymptomatic persistent infections, and serve as reservoirs for viruses of agricultural crops; however, we have a limited understanding of the natural plant virosphere. To access representatives of ... Epidemiology and Economic Impact of Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus: A Resurging Pathogen Affecting Lettuce in the Salinas Valley of California
AbstractAbstract
The Orthotospovirus impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) is a thrips-transmitted pathogen of lettuce that has rapidly emerged as a serious threat to production in the Salinas Valley of Monterey County, California. As a first step toward understanding the ...The Begomovirus Species Melon Chlorotic Leaf Curl Virus is Composed of Two Highly Divergent Strains that Differ in Their Genetic and Biological Properties
AbstractAbstract
Since the early 1990s, squash production in Costa Rica has been affected by a whitefly-transmitted disease characterized by stunting and yellow mottling of leaves. The squash yellow mottle disease (SYMoD) was shown to be associated with a bipartite ...First Report of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus Identified in Tulbaghia violacea in Florida
AbstractAbstract
Tulbaghia violacea Harv., also known as society garlic, belongs to the genus Tulbaghia (Amaryllidaceae). It is diversely used for medicinal, culinary, and ornamental purposes. In June 2018, T. violacea plants from Lake County, FL, with typical tospovirus-...Lady’s Slipper Orchid and Hydrangea: New Ornamental Hosts of Tobacco Rattle Virus (TRV) in Minnesota
AbstractAbstract
The lady’s slipper orchids are a subfamily encompassing over 160 species, including the state flower of Minnesota, Cypripedium reginae. Hydrangea is a genus of about 75 species of shrubs and trees that are popular in perennial gardens. Chlorotic and ...Distribution of Asclepias Asymptomatic Virus and Exploration of Possible Effects on the Wild Plant Host, Asclepias viridis
AbstractAbstract
Viruses in wild plants are poorly studied yet important sources of emerging diseases. We surveyed populations of a perennial host, Asclepias viridis, for Asclepias asymptomatic virus (AsAV) in nine sites (two in Oklahoma, seven in Kansas) from 2015 to ...Perilla Mosaic Virus Is a Highly Divergent Emaravirus Transmitted by Shevtchenkella sp. (Acari: Eriophyidae)
AbstractAbstract
Shiso (Perilla frutescens var. crispa) is widely grown as an important vegetable or herb crop in Japan. Beginning around the year 2000, occurrences of severe mosaic symptoms on shiso were documented and gradually spread across Kochi Prefecture, one of ...Development of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Infiltration of Infectious Clones of Grapevine Geminivirus A Directly into Greenhouse-Grown Grapevine and Nicotiana benthamiana Plants
AbstractAbstract
Grapevine virus infectious clones are important tools for fundamental studies, but also because of their potential for translational applications for grapevine improvement. Although several grapevine virus infectious clones have been developed, there has ...A Bipartite Begomovirus Infecting Boerhavia erecta (Family Nyctaginaceae) in the Dominican Republic Represents a Distinct Phylogenetic Lineage and has a High Degree of Host Specificity
AbstractAbstract
Boerhavia erecta plants in and around agricultural fields in the Azua Valley of the southeastern Dominican Republic often show striking golden mosaic symptoms. Leaf samples from B. erecta plants showing these symptoms were collected in 2012 and 2013, and ...- OPENOpen Access license
Modeling Epidemics in Seed Systems and Landscapes To Guide Management Strategies: The Case of Sweet Potato in Northern Uganda
AbstractAbstract
Seed systems are critical for deployment of improved varieties but also can serve as major conduits for the spread of seedborne pathogens. As in many other epidemic systems, epidemic risk in seed systems often depends on the structure of networks of trade,... Characterization of Erwinia tracheiphila Bacteriophage FBB1 Isolated from Spotted Cucumber Beetles that Vector E. tracheiphila
AbstractAbstract
Erwinia tracheiphila, the causal pathogen of bacterial wilt of cucurbit crops, is disseminated by cucumber beetles. A bacteriophage, designated FBB1 (Fu-Beattie-Beetle-1), was isolated from spotted cucumber beetles (Diabrotica undecimpunctata) that were ...The Identification of Tautoneura mori as the Vector of Mulberry Crinkle Leaf Virus and the Infectivity of Infectious Clones in Mulberry
