Creeping bugleweed (Ajuga reptans L.) is a perennial ornamental commonly grown as a ground cover in temperate climates. Commercial samples of the A. reptans cultivars Royalty, var. Atropurpurea Bronze, Bronze Beauty, and Burgundy Glow showing mosaic and ringspot symptoms were tested for the presence of virus infection by direct antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and viral-associated double-stranded (ds) RNA analysis. Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) was detected by ELISA and dsRNA analysis in symptomatic samples of all cultivars tested. ELISA values were considered positive if the absorbance values were twice the negative control. Negative control values were established with asymptomatic tissue of the cv. Bronze Beauty. Tobacco streak ilarvirus (TSV) was detected only by ELISA in symptomatic samples of all cultivars except Royalty. No dsRNA suggestive of TSV was detected. Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) was detected by ELISA and dsRNA analysis in symptomatic samples of all cultivars tested except Royalty and var. Atropurpurea Bronze. dsRNA analysis also indicated the presence of a low molecular weight, possible satellite (sat) RNA associated with all symptomatic and asymptomatic Royalty and var. Atropurpurea Bronze plants tested. Northern (RNA) blot analysis with a digoxigenin-labeled full-length clone of the (S) CARNA-5 (-) CMV satRNA (ATCC no. 45124) confirmed that the low molecular weight RNA associated with the Royalty and var. Atropurpurea Bronze cultivars was indeed CMV satRNA. Only AMV has been previously reported in A. reptans in the United States (1). This is the first report of CMV and its satRNA, as well as TSV, in A. reptans in the United States. Reference: (1) W. T. Schroeder and R. Provvidenti. Plant Dis. Rep. 56:285, 1972.

ABSTRACT Red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV) is a member of the genus Dianthovirus and has a bipartite positive-sense genomic RNA with 3′ ends that are not polyadenylated. In this study, we show that both genomic RNA1 and RNA2 lack a 5′ cap structure and that uncapped in vitro transcripts of RCNMV RNA1 replicated to a level comparable to that for capped transcripts in cowpea protoplasts. Because the 5′ cap and 3′ poly(A) tail play important roles in the translation of many eukaryotic mRNAs, genomic RNAs of RCNMV should contain an element(s) responsible for 5′ cap- and poly(A) tail-independent translation of viral protein. By using a luciferase reporter assay system in vivo, we showed that the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of RNA1 alone significantly enhanced translation of the luciferase reporter gene in the absence of the 5′ cap structure. Deletion studies revealed that the middle region (between nucleotides 3596 and 3732) in the 3′ UTR, designated the 3′ translation element of Dianthovirus RNA1 (3′TE-DR1), plays an important role in cap-independent translation. This region contained a stem-loop structure conserved among members of the genera Dianthovirus and Luteovirus. A five-base substitution in the loop abolished cap-independent translational activity, as reported for a luteovirus, indicating that this stem-loop is one of the functional structures in the 3′TE-DR1 involved in cap-independent translation. Finally, we suggest that cap-independent translational activity is required for RCNMV RNA1 replication in protoplasts.

Um protocolo de PCR multiplex foi estabelecido para a detecção do Banana streak virus (BSV) e do Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) em bananeiras micropropagadas. Estes vírus são responsáveis por perdas na produção de bananas em todo o mundo. Alguns trabalhos descrevem a integração do BSV no genoma B da bananeira. Contudo, a existência de bananeiras híbridas livres do BSV tem sido demonstrada. Ademais, determinadas estirpes do CMV não são transmitidas mecanicamente sob condições de laboratório, nem tampouco detectadas por testes sorológicos. Como conseqüência, a indexação de matrizes para cultura de tecido algumas vezes se mostra ineficiente. A metodologia apresentada neste trabalho sobrepõe esta dificuldade, pois se baseia na detecção do ácido nucléico viral presente em amostras foliares de bananeira. Na reação, foram usados os oligonucleotídeos BADNA 1A e BADNA 4, para a detecção do BSV, e "CMV senso" e "CMV antisenso" para a detecção do CMV. Após a eletroforese foi verificada a presença de dois fragmentos de DNA amplificados simultaneamente, um dos quais com 597 pb correspondente ao BSV e o outro, com 488 pb, correspondente ao CMV. Este resultado indica que o PCR multiplex pode ser utilizado como uma ferramenta adicional na indexação do BSV e do CMV em bananeiras propagadas por cultura de tecido.
