Published: February 2010

An isolate of the tentative carlavirus species Hydrangea chlorotic mottle virus (HdCMV) was found in New Zealand (NZ) in 2007. The host range, serological properties and complete genome sequence of this isolate were determined in this study. While the NZ isolate shared 98% nucleotide sequence identity with the US isolate of HdCMV, differences in titre and host range were found. The HdCMV-NZ genome sequence of 8,433 nt possessed a typical carlavirus organisation with six open reading frames. HdCMV is most closely related (60.4% nt identity) to blueberry scorch virus, a relationship also suggested by serology. These data suggest that HdCMV is a new carlavirus species.

Article Synopsis
  • Hydrangea macrophylla (cv. Renate Steiniger) showed signs of a disease characterized by brown necrotic spots and chlorotic halos on its leaves, observed in Suncheonman National Garden, South Korea, covering an area of about 20 m² with a low incidence rate (2%-5%).
  • Pathogen isolation involved cutting infected leaf samples, sterilizing them, and culturing them on agar, leading to the growth of fungal colonies identified as Boeremia sp. based on morphological traits and molecular identification revealing sequences with 100% similarity to Boeremia exigua.
  • The study included genetic sequencing of parts of the pathogen's DNA for thorough identification, which will contribute to understanding the disease affecting Hydrangea

In this study, a new virus was identified in French hydrangea plants, exhibiting chlorotic vein banding and necrotic ring spots on older leaves. The virus was mechanically transmitted to herbaceous hosts, in which it induced local and systemic or only local symptoms. The genome of the new virus was characterized and consisted of three RNA sequences that were 3422 (RNA 1), 2905 (RNA 2) and 2299 (RNA 3) nucleotides long, with five predicted open reading frames; RNA2 was bicistronic and contained conserved domains and motifs typical of ilarviruses.

In spring of 2012, a previously unrecorded virus-like disease characterized by conspicuous yellow leaf blotching (calico symptoms) was observed in plants of Hydrangea macrophylla in a single location in Southampton, NY. Bacilliform and spherical particles resembling those of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in partially purified extracts from symptomatic leaf tissue. The identity of the virus was confirmed by immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM) (4) using antiserum to AMV (ATCC PVAS 92) that both trapped and decorated the virions.
