First report of natural infection by two potyviruses on amaryllis (Hippeastrum hybridum) plants from India.

ABSTRACT: Amaryllis plants showing the chlorotic stripes and yellowing of the leaves were collected. Electron microscopy of the infected plants revealed flexuous filamentous particles and disease incidence was recorded up to 64%. The presence of virus was confirmed using potyvirus genus and species-specific primers using Reverse transcription PCR. Blastn analysis showed that the samples were infected with leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV) and onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) the of genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an association between LYSV (MZ203474 to MZ203478) and OYDV (MZ203479-MZ203482) with amaryllis. The result also showed that infected Amaryllis plants may act as a reservoir of LYSV and OYDV for economically important Allium crops.

Revealing the complex genetic structure of cultivated amaryllis (Hippeastrum hybridum) using transcriptome-derived microsatellite markers.

Project description:Although amaryllis (Hippeastrum hybridum) plants are commonly used in physiological and ecological research, the extent of their genomic and genetic resources remains limited. The development of molecular markers is therefore of great importance to accelerate genetic improvements in Hippeastrum species. In this study, a total of 269 unique genes were defined that might regulate the flower spathe development of amaryllis. In addition, 2000 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were detected based on 171,462 de novo assembled unigenes from transcriptome data, and 66,4091 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were also detected as putative molecular markers. Twenty-one SSR markers were screened to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of 104 amaryllis accessions. A total of 98 SSR loci were amplified for all accessions. The results reveal that Nei's gene diversity (H) values of these markers ranged between 0.055 and 0.394, whereas the average values of Shannon's Information index (I) ranged between 0.172 and 0.567. Genetic tree analysis further demonstrates that all accessions can be grouped into three main clusters, which can be further divided into two subgroups. STRUCTURE-based analysis revealed that the highest ΔK values were observed when K = 5, K = 6, K = 7 and K = 8. The results of this study enable large-scale transcriptomics and classification of Hippeastrum genetic polymorphisms and will be useful in the future for resource conservation and production.

Identification of HpMYB1 inducing anthocyanin accumulation in Hippeastrum Hybridum tepals by RNA-seq.

Project description:BackgroundCultivated Hippeastrum × hybridum is a popular ornamental plant with large and colorful flowers, long flowering duration, and high commercial value. As its main ornamental feature, its flower color is related to the anthocyanin content in the tepals. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis in H. × hybridum have not yet been elucidated.ResultsIn the present study, 12 cDNA libraries of four stages of H.× hybridum 'Royal Velvet' tepal development were used for RNA-seq, obtaining 79.83 gigabases (GB) of clean data. The data were assembled into 148,453 unigenes, and 11,262 differentially expressed genes were identified. Forty key enzymes participating in anthocyanin biosynthesis were investigated, and the results showed that most of the anthocyanin structural genes were expressed at low levels in S1 and were markedly upregulated in S2 and S3. The expression profiles of 12 selected genes were verified by qRT-PCR. Furthermore, the R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF), HpMYB1, involved in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis was identified by sequence, expression pattern, and subcellular localization analyses. Its overexpression in tobacco significantly increased the anthocyanin levels in various tissues and activated anthocyanin-related genes.ConclusionsUsing RNA-seq technology, we successfully identified a potential R2R3-MYB gene, HpMYB1, that regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in H.× hybridum 'Royal Velvet'. Our findings provide basic transcript information and valuable transcriptome data for further identification of key genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis and can be applied in the artificial breeding of new H. × hybridum cultivars with enhanced ornamental value.

Narcissus Plants: A Melting Pot of Potyviruses.

Project description:Our paper presents detailed evolutionary analyses of narcissus viruses from wild and domesticated Narcissus plants in Japan. Narcissus late season yellows virus (NLSYV) and narcissus degeneration virus (NDV) are major viruses of Narcissus plants, causing serious disease outbreaks in Japan. In this study, we collected Narcissus plants showing mosaic or striped leaves along with asymptomatic plants in Japan for evolutionary analyses. Our findings show that (1) NLSYV is widely distributed, whereas the distribution of NDV is limited to the southwest parts of Japan; (2) the genomes of NLSYV isolates share nucleotide identities of around 82%, whereas those of NDV isolates are around 94%; (3) three novel recombination type patterns were found in NLSYV; (4) NLSYV comprises at least five distinct phylogenetic groups whereas NDV has two; and (5) infection with narcissus viruses often occur as co-infection with different viruses, different isolates of the same virus, and in the presence of quasispecies (mutant clouds) of the same virus in nature. Therefore, the wild and domesticated Narcissus plants in Japan are somewhat like a melting pot of potyviruses and other viruses.

First report of Amaranthus sp. as a natural host of capsicum chlorosis virus in India.

Project description:Capsicum chlorosis virus (CaCV) is emerging as economically important tospovirus, being a recently identified virus its complete host range was still not completely known. Virus infected leaves of amaranth plants grown in the vicinity of Capsicum fields showing characteristic symptoms of tospoviruses were collected, confirmed by tospovirus group specific antibody for the presence of a tospovirus and then the presence of CaCV was confirmed by virus specific antibodies. Nucleocapsid protein (NP) specific primer were used for amplification of NP gene and amplified cDNA products were confirmed by sequencing that the virus infecting amaranth was an isolate of CaCV. A comparison of the NP sequence with other isolate confirmed that it was 100 % similar to the reported Indian isolate of CaCV. To best of our knowledge this is the first report of natural infection of CaCv in Amaranthus sp. in India.

The red/blue light ratios from light-emitting diodes affect growth and flower quality of Hippeastrum hybridum 'Red Lion'.

Project description:Light quality strongly impacts the growth and flower quality of ornamental plants. The optimum light quality for the growth and flowering of Hippeastrum remains to be validated. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the red/blue light ratio of LEDs on the growth and flowering quality of H. hybrid 'Red Lion'. Two LEDs with red/blue light ratio of 1:9 (R10B90) and 9:1 (R90B10) were designed. LEDs of white light were the control. In the earlier vegetative and reproductive growth phase, R90B10 increased the biomass of the bulbs, leaves, and flowers. Compared with the control and R10B90 group, R90B10 LEDs delayed flowering by 2.30 d and 3.26 d, respectively. Based on chlorophyll contents, photosynthetic capacity, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and carbohydrate contents, the photosynthesis rate was higher in the R10B90 group. Optimal red and blue light intensity promoted the accumulation of carbohydrates and early flowering and prolonged the flowering period of H. hybrid. Microscopic analysis showed that stomatal density was high, and the number of chloroplasts was large in the R10B90 treatment group, which enhanced photosynthesis. Particularly, R10B90 promoted the expression of seven key genes related to chlorophyll synthesis. R10B90 also promoted early overexpression of the HpCOL gene that promotes early flowering. Thus, higher blue light and 10% red light intensities promote early and extended flowering, while higher red light and 10% blue light promote vegetative plant growth but delay flowering.

First report of canine bufavirus in India.

Project description:Canine bufavirus (CBuV), a novel protoparvovirus of dogs that is associated with enteric and respiratory symptoms, has been reported only in Italy and China. The enteric prevalence of CBuV in India was investigated, and the nearly complete genome sequence (4292 bp) was amplified and reconstructed for one strain. A nucleotide sequence alignment indicated 93.42-98.81% identity to the other available CBuV sequences and 70.88-73.39% and 54.4-54.8% identity to human bufavirus and canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2), respectively. The current strain is most closely related to Chinese CBuV strains, which together form an Asian lineage. This first report of the prevalence of CBuV in India emphasizes the need for further epidemiological surveillance.

First report of the ectomycorrhizal fungal community associated with two herbaceous plants in Inner Mongolia, China.

Project description:Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play a vital role in ensuring plant health, plant diversity, and ecosystem function. However, the study on fungal diversity and community assembly of EM fungi associated with herbaceous plants remains poorly understood. Thus, in our study, Carex pediformis and Polygonum divaricatum in the subalpine meadow of central Inner Mongolia, China were selected for exploring EM fungal diversity and community assembly mechanisms by using llumina MiSeq sequencing of the fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 region (ITS2). We evaluated the impact of soil, climatic, and spatial variables on EM fungal diversity and community turnover. Deterministic vs. stochastic processes for EM fungal community assembly were quantified using β-Nearest taxon index scores. The results showed that a total of 70 EM fungal OTUs belonging to 21 lineages were identified, of which Tomentella-Thelephora, Helotiales1, Tricholoma, Inocybe, Wilcoxina were the most dominant EM fungal lineages. EM fungal communities were significantly different between the two herbaceous plants and among the two sampling sites, and this difference was mainly influenced by soil organic matter (OM) content and mean annual precipitation (MAP). The neutral community model (NCM) explained 45.7% of the variations in EM fungi community assembly. A total of 99.27% of the β-Nearest Taxa Index (βNTI) value was between -2 and 2. These results suggest that the dominant role of stochastic processes in shaping EM fungal community assembly. In addition, RCbray values showed that ecological drift in stochastic processes dominantly determined community assembly of EM fungi. Overall, our study shed light on the EM fungal diversity and community assembly associated with herbaceous plants in the subalpine region of central Inner Mongolia for the first time, which provided a better understanding of the role of herbaceous EM fungi.

Complete chloroplast genomes and comparative analyses of Hippeastrum 'milady', Hippeastrum albertii and Hippeastrum reticulatum (Amaryllidaceae).

Project description:Hippeastrum is a genus of ornamental plants with large, brightly colored flowers. Due to the very high seed-setting rate of the hybridization of Hippeastrum, the large population of hybrid progeny and the existence of superparent inheritance, it is difficult to trace the origin of the varieties collected from the market during breeding. In this study, we analyzed the chloroplast genomes of Hippeastrum 'Milady', H. alberti, and H. reticulatum using the Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platform and generated full-length sequences of 158,067, 158,067, and 158,522 bp, respectively. All three genomes had the typical tetrad structure. The large single copy, small single copy, and inverted repeat regions of H. reticulatum were observed to be respectively 277, 138, and 20 bp longer than the corresponding regions of H. 'Milady' and H. alberti. The results of comparative analysis of simple sequence repeats (SSRs), Ka/Ks ratios, codon preferences, and complete sequences of chloroplasts of these three taxa and 14 other plant species were as follows. First, the chloroplast genomes of H. 'Milady', H. alberti, and H. reticulatum contain 209, 209, and 211 SSR sites, respectively, most of which (123, 123, and 122, respectively) are single nucleotide repeats. Second, leucine, arginine, and serine are the most frequently used amino acids in the three chloroplast genomes. Third, H. 'Milady', H. alberti, and H. reticulatum are more closely related to Lycoris and Narcissus than to Allium and Agapanthus. Our results will provide information on the study of origins or relatedness of native species, and the identification of cultivars.
