Published: May 1990

Transcripts of the bicistronic RNA3 of alfalfa mosaic virus were synthesized using the in vitro T7 run-off transcription system. Synthetic RNA3 containing one additional G nucleotide at the 5' end were found to be infectious when coinoculated with RNA1 and RNA2 and coat protein.

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) represents a particularly relevant tool in agricultural species for studying gene functionality. This study presents a novel approach for utilizing viruses belonging to the 30K family of movement proteins (MPs) as VIGS vectors. The method described here employs smaller inserts (54 bp or less) than those commonly used (100-500 bp).

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a commonly grown forage crop in Oregon and California harvested on 350,000 and 480,000 acres, respectively, in 2023 (USDA-NASS 2023). Forage alfalfa is grown as a perennial crop for about four years in the same field and each season, the crop is cut 3-4 times for hay production.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on how viral proteins, specifically movement proteins (MPs) of the 30K family, interact with host factors in plants, which is key to viral infection.
  • Researchers used the alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) MP model, modifying its coding sequence with tags to successfully identify 121 potential host interactors.
  • Further analysis of selected candidates revealed that some of these interactors are part of protein complexes associated with AMV MP and that they also interact with other MPs in the 30K family, suggesting shared interactors among these viral proteins.

Background: Nanotechnology has been recognized as a viable technology for enhancing agriculture, particularly in the plant pathogen management area. Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is a global pathogen that affects many plant species, especially economically valuable crops. Currently, there is less data on the interaction of nanoparticles with phytopathogens, particularly viruses.

Article Synopsis
  • * In October 2022, symptoms of alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) including yellow spots and leaf mottling were found in F. benjamina plants in Santiago, Chile, with only symptomatic plants testing positive for the virus.
  • * The presence of AMV was confirmed through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription PCR, with the virus identified as having 100% sequence identity to a previously reported AMV isolate, indicating it affects various ornamental plants and weeds.
