Citrus yellow vein clearing virus is a new member of the genus Mandarivirus in the family Alphaflexiviridae. Citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) is the causal agent of citrus yellow vein clearing disease and is widely distributed in Pakistan, India, Turkey, and China. CYVCV is transmitted from citrus to citrus by Dialeurodes citri, grafting, and contaminated knife blades, threatening citrus production. In this study, four infectious full-length cDNA clones of CYVCV (namely AY112, AY132, AY212, and AY221) derived from CYVCV isolate AY were obtained through yeast homologous recombination and inoculated to ‘Eureka’ lemon (Citrus limon Burm. f.) by Agrobacterium-mediated vacuum infiltration. Pathogenicity analysis indicated that the clones AY212 and AY221 caused more severe symptoms than AY112 and AY132. Northern blot and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses showed that the titers of virulent clones (AY212 and AY221) were significantly higher than those of attenuated clones (AY112 and AY132) in the infected ‘Eureka’ lemon (Citrus limon Burm. f.) seedlings. Subsequent comparative studies of viral infectivity, accumulation, and symptoms induced by AY221 in nine citrus cultivars indicated that (i) the infectivity of AY221 varied from 25% to 100% among different cultivars; (ii) ‘Oota’ ponkan (C. reticulata L.) showed the lowest infection rate with mild symptoms, which might be a useful resource for CYVCY-resistance genes; (iii) CYVCV titer was positively associated with the symptom development in infected citrus seedlings. In general, this report revealed the biological properties of CYVCV, thus laying a foundation for further investigation of pathogenic mechanisms in this virus.

The agriculturally important genus Colletotrichum is an emerging model pathogen for studying defense in Arabidopsis. During the process of screening for novel pathogenic Colletotrichum isolates on Arabidopsis, we found significant differences in defense responses between detached and attached leaf assays. A near-adapted isolate Colletotrichum linicola A1 could launch a typical infection only on detached, but not attached, Arabidopsis leaves. Remarkably, resistance gene-like locus RCH1-mediated resistance in intact plants also was compromised in detached leaves during the attacks with the virulent reference isolate C. higginsianum. The differences in symptom development between the detached leaf and intact plant assays were further confirmed on defense-defective mutants following inoculation with C. higginsianum, where the greatest inconsistency occurred on ethylene-insensitive mutants. In intact Arabidopsis plants, both the salicylic acid- and ethylene-dependent pathways were required for resistance to C. higginsianum and were associated with induced expression of pathogenesis-related genes PR1 and PDF1.2. In contrast, disease symptom development in detached leaves appeared to be uncoupled from these defense pathways and more closely associated with senescence: an observation substantiated by coordinated gene expression analysis and disease symptom development, and chemically and genetically mimicking senescence.
