Shiso ( var. ) is widely grown as an important vegetable or herb crop in Japan. Beginning around the year 2000, occurrences of severe mosaic symptoms on shiso were documented and gradually spread across Kochi Prefecture, one of four major shiso production areas in Japan. Next generation sequencing and cloning indicated the presence of a previously unknown virus related to the members of the genus , for which we proposed the name Perilla mosaic virus (PerMV). The genome of PerMV consists of 10 RNA segments, each encoding a single protein in the negative-sense orientation. Of these proteins, P1, P2, P3a, P3b, P4, and P5 show amino acid sequence similarities with those of known emaraviruses, whereas no similarities were found in P6a, P6b, P6c, and P7. Characteristics of the RNA segments as well as phylogenetic analysis of P1 to P4 indicate that PerMV is a distinct and highly divergent emaravirus. Electron microscopy observations and protein analyses corresponded to presence of an emaravirus. Transmission experiments demonstrated that an eriophyid mite, sp. (family Eriophyidae), transmits PerMV with a minimum 30-min acquisition access period. Only plants belonging to the genus tested positive for PerMV, and the plant-virus-vector interactions were evaluated. The nucleotide sequences reported here are available in the DDBJ/ENA/GenBank databases under accession numbers LC496090 to LC496099.

Article Synopsis
  • PerMV, a genus within a certain family of viruses, possesses a single-stranded RNA genome and has been identified in Japan, where it was transmitted to perilla plants by a specific type of mite.
  • In South Korea, symptoms like yellow flecks and leaf malformation were observed in perilla plants, with an estimated 70% incidence in a cultivated field.
  • The presence of PerMV was confirmed through RNA extraction, RT-PCR, and high-throughput sequencing, showing significant genetic similarity to a previously identified isolate in Japan.

Members of the genus Emaravirus are plant viruses transmitted by eriophyoid mites. The emaravirus genome consists of multiple, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA segments, that have been shown to be highly divergent. Recent studies have revealed that emaraviruses are associated with long-recognized diseases of world important crops such as fig mosaic disease or sterility mosaic disease of pigeon pea.
