The genome of the Y strain of kyuri green mottle mosaic virus (KGMMV-Y) has been completely sequenced. Its genomic structure and sequence show it to be a typical tobamovirus, that is closest to, but distinct from, that of cucumber green mottle mosaic tobamovirus (CGMMV). The genomic sequence of KGMMV-Y was compared in detail with that of the SH strain of CGMMV. The sequences of their 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions were 74% and 63% identical. The amino acid sequences of the shorter and longer (read through) RNA replicase components, movement protein (MP) and coat protein (CP) were 58, 58. 60 and 46% identical, respectively. The KGMMV-Y genome sequence was also compared partly to that of another strain of KGMMV, KGMMV-C. The CP sequences of KGMMV-Y and KGMMV-C differed by 20 amino acid residues, suggesting that their relationship is more distant than the relationship between CGMMV-SH and CGMMV-W whose CP sequences are identical. The MPs of KGMMV-Y and KGMMV-C, however, differ only by one amino acid residue, although three amino acid substitutions are present in the MPs between CGMMV-SH and CGMMV-W. Two long stretches, one in the RNA replicase and the other in the MP, were highly conserved in KGMMV and CGMMV.

Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus Coat Protein Hijacks Mitochondrial ATPδ to Promote Viral Infection.

The production and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for plants to adapt to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we investigated the interaction between the coat protein (CP) of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) and ATP synthase subunit δ (ATPδ) in mitochondria. Silencing of ATPδ by tobacco rattle virus-based virus-induced gene silencing impeded CGMMV accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves.

Article Synopsis
- - The introduction of the non-native winter crane fly, Trichocera maculipennis, in maritime Antarctica may threaten the unique local ecosystem, which is vulnerable to foreign species.
- - Researchers conducted tests using advanced methods to determine if T. maculipennis could mechanically transmit various viruses, and identified several human and plant virus genomic fragments in samples collected from the fly.
- - Although the study found low amounts of human adenovirus and retrovirus in the fly samples, which were non-viable, it highlights the need for ongoing research into the impacts of non-native species on Antarctic ecosystems.

Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Menangle, New South Wales, Australia;
Article Synopsis
- - Citrus-associated rhabdovirus (CiaRV), a virus first identified in China in 2021, was studied using budwood from an asymptomatic kumquat plant grown in Australia, leading to the propagation of a daughter tree for further analysis.
- - Researchers extracted RNA from the green bark tissue of the daughter plant and utilized high-throughput sequencing to generate over 128 million raw data reads, which were subsequently analyzed to identify viral contigs.
- - The analysis revealed significant genetic similarities between the identified contigs and known CiaRV isolates, confirming the presence of the virus in the sample through various primer sets, resulting in the determination of a consensus genome sequence.

Article Synopsis
- - Bur cucumber, an invasive species in South Korea, was surveyed in July 2024, revealing that around 5% of the plants showed viral symptoms like yellowing and mosaic patterns across five southeastern regions.
- - Researchers collected 25 leaf samples for RT-PCR testing to identify nine common cucurbit viruses, finding that Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV) was present in 16 samples and co-infection with Cucurbit Aphid-Borne Yellows Virus (CABYV) in 6 samples.
- - Symptoms varied, with WMV causing mosaic patterns and more severe yellowing seen in co-infected samples, highlighting the need for monitoring both viruses due to their combined effects on plant health and agricultural yield

Article Synopsis
- - Vigna unguiculata, or cowpea, is a significant vegetable crop in Sanya, Hainan, China, but it faces threats from viral diseases like CPMMV, BCMV, and CPPV2 which negatively impact its growth and photosynthesis.
- - Weeds in the area, such as Sesbania cannabina and Physalis angulata, can act as virus hosts, complicating the situation for cowpea cultivation.
- - In July 2022, researchers collected these weeds, extracted their RNA, and identified a viral DNA sequence similar to CPMMV, indicating a link between the weeds and the viral disease affecting cowpeas.
