To investigate the wheat viromes associated with yellow mosaic disease, we carried out de novo RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses of symptomatic and asymptomatic wheat-leaf samples obtained from a field in Hokkaido, Japan, in 2018 and 2019. The analyses revealed the infection by a novel betaflexivirus, which tentatively named wheat virus Q (WVQ), together with wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV, a bymovirus) and northern cereal mosaic virus (a cytorhabdovirus). Basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) analyses showed that the WVQ strains (of which there are at least three) were related to the members of the genus Foveavirus in the subfamily Quinvirinae (family Betaflexiviridae). In the phylogenetic tree, they form a clade distant from that of the foveaviruses, suggesting that WVQ is a member of a novel genus in the Quinvirinae. Laboratory tests confirmed that WVQ, like WYMV, is potentially transmitted through the soil to wheat plants. WVQ was also found to infect rye plants grown in the same field. Moreover, WVQ-derived small interfering RNAs accumulated in the infected wheat plants, indicating that WVQ infection induces antiviral RNA silencing responses. Given its common coexistence with WYMV, the impact of WVQ infection on yellow mosaic disease in the field warrants detailed investigation. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KondoHideki en-aut-sei=Kondo en-aut-mei=Hideki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshidaNaoto en-aut-sei=Yoshida en-aut-mei=Naoto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujitaMiki en-aut-sei=Fujita en-aut-mei=Miki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MaruyamaKazuyuki en-aut-sei=Maruyama en-aut-mei=Kazuyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HyodoKiwamu en-aut-sei=Hyodo en-aut-mei=Kiwamu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=HisanoHiroshi en-aut-sei=Hisano en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=TamadaTetsuo en-aut-sei=Tamada en-aut-mei=Tetsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=AndikaIda Bagus en-aut-sei=Andika en-aut-mei=Ida Bagus kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuzukiNobuhiro en-aut-sei=Suzuki en-aut-mei=Nobuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Agricultural Research Institute, HOKUREN Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=College of Plant Health and Medicine, Qingdao Agricultural University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Betaflexiviridae kn-keyword=Betaflexiviridae en-keyword=quinvirus kn-keyword=quinvirus en-keyword=bymovirus kn-keyword=bymovirus en-keyword=yellow mosaic disease kn-keyword=yellow mosaic disease en-keyword=wheat kn-keyword=wheat en-keyword=virome kn-keyword=virome en-keyword=soil borne kn-keyword=soil borne en-keyword=variants kn-keyword=variants END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=30 cd-vols= no-issue=1-3 article-no= start-page=215 end-page=223 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2003 dt-pub=200305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Orchid Fleck Virus: Brevipalpus californicus Mite Transmission, Biological Properties and Genome Structure en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Orchid fleck virus (OFV) causes necrotic or chlorotic ring spots and fleck symptoms in many orchid species world-wide. The virus has non-enveloped, bacilliform particles of about 40 nm ~ 100?150 nm and is sap-transmissible to several plant species. OFV is transmitted by the mite Brevipalpus californicus (Banks) in a persistent manner and efficiently transmitted by both adults and nymphs, but not by larvae. Viruliferous mites retain their infectivity for 3 weeks on a virus-immune host. The genome of OFV consists of two molecules of 6431 (RNA1) and 6001 nucleotides (RNA2). The RNAs have conserved and complementary terminal sequences. RNA1 contains five open reading frames (ORF), and RNA2 encodes a single ORF. Although some of the encoded proteins of OFV have sequences similar to those of proteins of plant rhabdoviruses, OFV differs from viruses in the family Rhabdoviridae in having a bipartite genome. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KondoHideki en-aut-sei=Kondo en-aut-mei=Hideki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MaedaTakanori en-aut-sei=Maeda en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TamadaTetsuo en-aut-sei=Tamada en-aut-mei=Tetsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Research Institute for Bioresources, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Research Institute for Bioresources, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Research Institute for Bioresources, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Brevipalpus californicus kn-keyword=Brevipalpus californicus en-keyword=mite transmission kn-keyword=mite transmission en-keyword=orchids kn-keyword=orchids en-keyword=orchid fleck virus kn-keyword=orchid fleck virus en-keyword=plant virus kn-keyword=plant virus en-keyword=rhabdovirus kn-keyword=rhabdovirus en-keyword=virus genome structure kn-keyword=virus genome structure END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=154 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=37 end-page=45 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2008 dt-pub=20081206 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Identification and characterization of structural proteins of orchid fleck virus en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Orchid fleck virus (OFV) has a bipartite negative-sense RNA genome with sequence similarities to plant rhabdoviruses. The non-enveloped bullet-shaped particles of OFV are similar to those of the internal ribonucleoprotein (RNP)-M protein structure of rhabdoviruses, but they are about half the size of typical plant rhabdoviruses. Purified preparations contained intact bullet-shaped and filamentous particles. The filamentous particles showed a tightly coiled coil structure or a coiled structure with a helical twist, which resembles the RNP complex of rhabdoviruses. OFV bullet-shaped particles were structurally stable in solutions containing 2% Triton X-100 and 0.8 M NaCl. Western blot analyses revealed that the bullet-shaped particles contained N, P and M proteins, while filamentous particles contained mainly N and P proteins. In addition, a small amount of the L protein was detected in both types of particles. Thus, the structural proteins of OFV have properties similar to those of rhabdoviruses, except that the particles are non-enveloped and are relatively resistant to detergent-treatment under high-salt conditions. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KondoHideki en-aut-sei=Kondo en-aut-mei=Hideki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MaedaTakanori en-aut-sei=Maeda en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TamadaTetsuo en-aut-sei=Tamada en-aut-mei=Tetsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Research Institute for Bioresources, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=College of Bioresource Sciences, Nihon University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Research Institute for Bioresources, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Rabies kn-keyword=Rabies en-keyword=ORF4 Protein kn-keyword=ORF4 Protein en-keyword=Sucrose Density Gradient Centrifugation kn-keyword=Sucrose Density Gradient Centrifugation en-keyword=Coil Coil Structure kn-keyword=Coil Coil Structure en-keyword=Potential Glycosylation Site kn-keyword=Potential Glycosylation Site END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=70 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=219 end-page=232 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=20200904 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Pathogenetic roles of beet necrotic yellow vein virus RNA5 in the exacerbation of symptoms and yield reduction, development of scab]like symptoms, and Rz1]resistance breaking in sugar beet en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) generally has a four]segmented positive]sense RNA genome (RNAs 1?4), but some European and most Asian strains have an additional segment, RNA5. This study examined the effect of RNA5 and RNA3 on different sugar beet cultivars using a Polymyxa]mediated inoculation system under field and laboratory conditions. In field tests, the degree of sugar yield served as an index for assessing the virulence of BNYVV strains. Japanese A]II type isolates without RNA5 caused mostly 15%?90% sugar yield reductions, depending on the susceptibility of sugar beet cultivars, whereas the isolates with RNA5 induced more than 90% yield losses in the seven susceptible cultivars, but small yield losses in one Rz1]resistant and Rizor cultivars. However, a laboratory]produced isolate containing RNA5 but lacking RNA3 caused higher yield losses in Rizor than in susceptible plants, and induced scab]like symptoms on the root surface of both susceptible and resistant plants. In laboratory tests, A]II type isolates without RNA5 had low viral RNA accumulation levels in roots of Rizor and Rz1]resistant plants at early stages of infection, but in the presence of RNA5, viral RNA3 accumulation levels increased remarkably. This increased RNA3 accumulation was not observed in roots of the WB42 accession with the Rz2 gene. In contrast, the presence of RNA3 did not affect RNA5 accumulation levels. Collectively, this study demonstrated that RNA5 is involved in the development of scab]like symptoms and the enhancement of RNA3 accumulation, and suggests these characteristics of RNA5 are associated with Rz1]resistance breaking. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TamadaTetsuo en-aut-sei=Tamada en-aut-mei=Tetsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=UchinoHirokatsu en-aut-sei=Uchino en-aut-mei=Hirokatsu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KusumeToshimi en-aut-sei=Kusume en-aut-mei=Toshimi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=Iketani]SaitoMinako en-aut-sei=Iketani]Saito en-aut-mei=Minako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ChibaSotaro en-aut-sei=Chiba en-aut-mei=Sotaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=AndikaIda Bagus en-aut-sei=Andika en-aut-mei=Ida Bagus kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KondoHideki en-aut-sei=Kondo en-aut-mei=Hideki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR), Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Research Center, Nippon Beet Sugar Mfg.
