The Relationship

Two isolates of maize dwarf mosaic virus originating from maize (MDMV(M)) and Johnson grass (MDMV(J)) were distantly related to an Australian and a Californian strain of sugar-cane mosaic virus (SMV). MDMV(M) was shown to be distantly related serologically to a Californian strain but not to an Ohio strain of MDMV; MDMV(J) was not shown to be related serologically to either the Californian or the Ohio strain of MDMV. MDMV(M), MDMV(J), and the Australian SMV produced similar symptoms on sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata (Sturtev)), which under glasshouse conditions included an initial necrotic phase not previously described for MDMV. The three isolates showed different characteristics when purified from sweet corn by an identical procedure. The yields of MDMV(M) and MDMV(J) were higher than that of SMV, and these two isolates produced strong zones in density gradients whereas SMV produced a very weak zone. The normal length of MDMV(M) was 773 ± 6.35 mµ and that of MDMV(J) 778 ± 6.35 mµ and the particles of both were uniform. By contrast the particles of SMV were very uneven in length; the most common length was 650–750 mµ, but many longer and shorter particles were observed.

Maize dwarf mosaic (MDM), caused by the sugarcane mosaic subgroup of potyviruses, can substantially reduce yield and ear quality of sweet corn (Zea mays). The effects of strain A of maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV-A) and strain MDMV-B of sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV-MB) on resistant sweet corn hybrids were evaluated. Incidence of symptomatic plants, types of symptomatic responses, yield, and ear quality were compared among 20 hybrids in 1993 and 14 hybrids in 1994. Incidence of symptomatic plants measured at the beginning of harvest ranged from 4 to 100% in 1993 and 1 to 100% in 1994 and differed among hybrids inoculated with MDMV-A and/or SCMV-MB. Hybrids BiGuard, Dallas, HMX 9352, and Topacio had low (<20%) incidences of symptomatic plants when inoculated with MDMV-A, SCMV-B, or MDMV-A/SCMV-MB. Some hybrids had moderate responses, with incidence varying around 25%. Some hybrids appeared to have greater resistance to MDMV-A than to SCMV-MB. The incidence of sectoring plants (i.e., distinct bands or sectors of asymptomatic and symptomatic tissue) was higher for hybrids with high levels of resistance and ranged from 0 to 14% in 1993 and 0 to 83% in 1994. Ear weight of inoculated hybrids, expressed as a percentage of the non-inoculated control, ranged from 84 to 109% in 1993 and from 84 to 105% in 1994. Slope coefficients from regressions of percent ear weight on incidence ranged from -0.085 to -0.15. Butt blanking was associated with high incidence of MDM-symptomatic plants. None of the commercially available MDM-resistant sweet corn hybrids were 100% asymptomatic, but levels of resistance in most of these hybrids were adequate to minimize the effects of MDM on yield.

Maize Chlorotic Dwarf Virus

Two major maize viruses have been reported in the United States: Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) and Maize chlorotic dwarf virus (MCDV). These viruses co-occur in regions where maize is grown, such that co-infections are likely. Co-infection of different strains of MCDV is also observed, and a synergistic enhancement of symptoms in co-infected plants was previously reported. Here, we examined the impact of co-infections of two strains of MCDV (MCDV-S and MCDV-M1, severe and mild, respectively), and co-infections of MCDV and MDMV in the sweet corn hybrid ‘Spirit’ in greenhouse experiments. Quantitative plant growth and development parameters were measured and virus accumulation was measured by reverse-transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Virus symptoms were enhanced and plants showed no recovery over time in co-infections of MDMV-OH and MCDV-S but virus titers and quantitative growth parameters did not indicate synergy in co-infected plants. MCDV-M1 co-infections with either MDMV-OH or MCDV-S did not show symptom enhancement or evidence of synergism.

ABSTRACT Studies were conducted to determine if accessory (B) chromosomes, the abnormal tenth (K10) chromosome or the aberrant ratio (AR) phenomenon of maize (Zea mays L.) affect the resistance of the plants to viral infection. Genetically similar stocks of maize with and without these elements were compared to determine what effect they would have on the plants response to Brome Mosaic Virus (BMV), Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus (MDMV), Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus (WSMV) and Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus (BSMV).—The test results with BSMV were not found to be conclusive. With BMV and MDMV, neither the B orK10 chromosomes were found to alter infections; however, these chromosomes were found to affect the resistance of the plants to WSMV infection. The B chromosomes were found to delay the onset of leaf necrosis by 15%, while the K10 chromosome was found to increase the susceptibility to necrosis by 100%. The AR phenomenon was not found to alter the resistance of maize to BMV infection. However, it was found to increase the susceptibility of maize to MDMV infection by 36% and to decrease the susceptibility of maize to WSMV infection by 92%.

Maize inbred lines, derived from both Australian and exotic sources, and used in a breeding programme at Kairi, Qld, were screened for resistance to a Johnson grass strain of sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV-Jg). There was a good correlation between ratings made following manual inoculation in a glasshouse and those following exposure to natural field infection. Seven lines were highly resistant in both glasshouse and field ratings. A further nine lines showed an intermediate level of resistance following manual inoculation and developed from 0 to 7 % infection under field conditions when a susceptible line developed 99 % infection. Data obtained following the manual inoculation of plants in segregating generations of crosses between resistant KL 57 and susceptible KL 9 were consistent with resistance being controlled by a single dominant gene. Six lines (Pa 405, CI 44, Tx 601, Oh 07, Oh 7B, 38-11) that were used as sources of resistance to maize dwarf mosaic virus, strain A (MDMV-A) in the U.S.A. developed natural infection levels of less than 15% with SCMV-Jg. Only Pa 405 was highly resistant to manual inoculation. Four of 11 SCMV-Jg resistant lines were also highly resistant to manual inoculations with the sugarcane, Sabi grass and Queensland blue couch grass strains.

A incidência de doenças causadas por molicutes e por vírus foi avaliada em lavouras de milho (Zea mays) nas Províncias de Tucumán e de Córdoba, na Argentina, em fevereiro de 2000. Na Província de Tucumán verificou-se que 44% das lavouras apresentaram altos níveis de incidência de plantas com sintomas de enfezamentos causados por molicutes (50 a 100%), em altitudes variando de 300 a 2.000 m. A presença de fitoplasma e de espiroplasma foi confirmada em amostras de folhas de plantas com sintomas de enfezamentos, através dos testes de PCR e de "Western blotting". Constatou-se, porém, que a eficiência desses testes para detecção destes patógenos, quando os sintomas apresentados pelas plantas eram muito acentuados, foi da ordem de 70%, e de apenas 30% quando os sintomas eram menos acentuados. Na localidade Jesus Maria, foram encontradas plantas apresentando acentuado nanismo, folhas estreitas e com deformações. Dentre quatro amostras destas plantas, submetidas a testes de PCR, em duas foi detectada a presença de fitoplasma, possivelmente d istinto do "Maize Bushy Stunt Phytoplasma". A cigarrinha Dalbulus maidis, inseto vetor dos molicutes, foi encontrada apenas em Tucumán, estando ausente em Córdoba. O Mal de Rio Cuarto virus foi detectado em seis lavouras em Córdoba, e em três em Tucumán. A cigarrinha Delphacodes kuscheli foi detectada em todas as lavouras em Córdoba, e em apenas três lavouras em Tucumán. O Maize dwarf mosaic virus foi detectado em cerca de 60% das lavouras amostradas nas duas Províncias e o Maize rayado fino virus em apenas uma localidade em Tucumán.
