Abstract The complete genomic sequence of a novel potyvirus from Paris yunnanensis was determined by high-throughput sequencing then confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Its genomic RNA consists 9600 nucleotides (nt) excluding the 3’-terminal poly (A) tail, containing a typical large open reading frame (ORF) of potyviruses and encoding a putative polyprotein of 3098 amino acids (aa). Pairwise comparison analysis showed the virus shares sequence identity with other members of Potyvirus was 53.0% to 57.8% at genome sequence level, and 39.3% to 51.2% at polyprotein sequence level. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the virus was most closely related to the subgroup of plum pox virus and that of chilli veinal mottle virus within the genus Potyvirus. These results suggest that the virus should be considered as a distinct species within the genus Potyvirus and was tentatively named as “Paris mottle associated virus” (PMaV).

Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the virus was clustered as a single clade within the genus Potyvirus both using nt and aa level. These results suggest that the virus should be considered as a distinct species within the genus Potyvirus, and it was tentatively named as “Paris mottle virus” (PaMoV).

Human cytidine deaminase (HCD) catalyzes the deamination of cytidine or deoxycytidine to uridine or deoxyuridine, respectively. The genomic sequence of HCD is formed by 31 kb with 4 exons and several alternative splicing signals, but an alternative form of HCD has yet to be reported. Here we describe the cloning and characterization of a small form of HCD, HSCD, and it is likely to be a product of alternative splicing of HCD. The alignment of DNA sequences shows that the HSCD matches HCD in 2 parts, except for a deletion of 170 bp. Based on the HCD genome organization, exons 1 and 4 should be joined and all sequences of introns and exons 2 and 3 should be deleted by splicing. This alternative splicing shifted the translation of the reading frame from the point of splicing. The estimated molecular mass is 9.8 kDa, and this value was confirmed by Western blot and mass spectroscopy after expressing the gene fused with glutathionine-S-transferase in the pGEX vector. The deletion and shift of the reading frame caused a loss of HCD activity, which was confirmed by enzyme assay and also with NIH3T3 cells modified to express HSCD and challenged against cytosine arabinoside. In this work we describe the identification and characterization of HSCD, which is the product of alternative splicing of the HCD gene.

This study aimed to disentangle the structure, composition, and co-occurrence relationships of the banana (cv. Dwarf Cavendish) root endophytome comparing two phenological plant stages: mother plants and suckers. Moreover, a collection of culturable root endophytes (>1000) was also generated from Canary Islands. In vitro antagonism assays against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc) races STR4 and TR4 enabled the identification and characterization of potential biocontrol agents (BCA). Eventually, three of them were selected and evaluated against Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) together with the well-known BCA Pseudomonas simiae PICF7 under controlled conditions. Culturable and non-culturable (high-throughput sequencing) approaches provided concordant information and showed low microbial diversity within the banana root endosphere. Pseudomonas appeared as the dominant genus and seemed to play an important role in the banana root endophytic microbiome according to co-occurrence networks. Fungal communities were dominated by the genera Ophioceras, Cyphellophora, Plecosphaerella, and Fusarium. Overall, significant differences were found between mother plants and suckers, suggesting that the phenological stage determines the recruitment and organization of the endophytic microbiome. While selected native banana endophytes showed clear antagonism against Foc strains, their biocontrol performance against FWB did not improve the outcome observed for a non-indigenous reference BCA (strain PICF7).

High throughput sequencing of total RNA isolated from symptomatic leaves of a sweet cherry tree (Prunus avium cv. 0900 Ziraat) from Turkey identified a new member of the genus Robigovirus designated cherry virus Turkey (CVTR). The presence of the virus was confirmed by electron microscopy and overlapping RT-PCR for sequencing its whole-genome. The virus has a ssRNA genome of 8464 nucleotides which encodes five open reading frames (ORFs) and comprises two non-coding regions, 5′ UTR and 3′ UTR of 97 and 296 nt, respectively. Compared to the five most closely related robigoviruses, RdRp, TGB1, TGB2, TGB3 and CP share amino acid identities ranging from 43–53%, 44–60%, 39–43%, 38–44% and 45–50%, respectively. Unlike the four cherry robigoviruses, CVTR lacks ORFs 2a and 5a. Its genome organization is therefore more similar to African oil palm ringspot virus (AOPRV). Using specific primers, the presence of CVTR was confirmed in 15 sweet cherries and two sour cherries out of 156 tested samples collected from three regions in Turkey. Among them, five samples were showing slight chlorotic symptoms on the leaves. It seems that CVTR infects cherry trees with or without eliciting obvious symptoms, but these data should be confirmed by bioassays in woody and possible herbaceous hosts in future studies.
