Article Abstract

Replication-related protein A (RepA), encoded by the citrus chlorotic dwarf-associated virus (CCDaV), induces hypersensitive response (HR)-like cell death and defence responses. However, the interactions between the host plant and CCDaV-RepA remain unclear. In this study, Citrus limon chloroplast malate dehydrogenase (ClMDH) was found to interact with CCDaV-RepA in the nucleus. ClMDH induces perinuclear chloroplast clustering (PCC). Moreover, ClMDH suppressed HR-like cell death and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by CCDaV-RepA, and promoted the accumulation of CCDaV-RepA. In addition, CCDaV-RepA overexpression altered the subcellular localisation of ClMDH from the chloroplast to the nucleus and inhibited ClMDH-induced PCC. These results reflected the involvement of ClMDH-induced PCC in the host response to CCDaV infection and provide new insights into the interaction between the host and CCDaV.

Viruses of cultivated apple ( × ) are believed to be transmitted nearly exclusively via vegetative propagation, with few known biotic vectors and limited evidence of vertical transmission. To evaluate the seed transmission capabilities of six viruses and one viroid of apple, a large-scale seedling grow-out experiment was conducted using seeds harvested from 51 trees infected by several combinations of six viruses and one viroid. Virus detection via multiplex PCR-based amplicon sequencing followed by RT-qPCR validation demonstrated that citrus concave gum-associated virus and apple stem grooving virus were transmitted to seedlings at rates of 4.

Apples (), one of Iran's oldest cultivated fruit crops, hold considerable economic importance. In this study, 170 apple leaf samples representing various commercial cultivars were collected across the country. RT-PCR screening targeted five common apple-infecting viruses and two viroids: apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), apple green crinkle-associated virus (AGCaV), apple mosaic virus (ApMV), apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd), and hop stunt viroid (HSVd).

Paris yunnanensis, also named as Rhizoma Paridis in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb commonly grown in Southwest China. However, several viruses have been found infecting this plant in recent years. Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and Sanger sequencing, this study obtained the complete genome sequences of three capillovirus isolates and one potyvirus isolate.
