AI Article Synopsis

  • Tobacco streak virus (TSV) poses a significant threat to various crops, yet there is a lack of infectious clones for studying its genetic properties.
  • Researchers sequenced the full genome of a TSV-CNB isolate and created infectious cDNA clones for reverse genetics studies, utilizing yeast homologous recombination techniques.
  • The study found that TSV-CNB can infect 10 different plant species across 5 families, indicating its broad host range, which will aid future research on virus interactions and effects on plants.

Article Abstract

Tobacco streak virus induces severe diseases on a wide range of plants and becomes an emerging threat to crop yields. However, the infectious clones of TSV remain to be developed for reverse genetics studies. Here, we obtained the full genome sequence of a TSV-CNB isolate and analyzed the phylogenetic characteristics. Subsequently, we developed the full-length infectious cDNA clones of TSV-CNB driven by 35 S promoter using yeast homologous recombination. Furthermore, the host range of TSV-CNB isolate was determined by Agrobacterium infiltration and mechanical inoculation. The results reveal that TSV-CNB can infect 10 plant species in 5 families including Glycine max, Vigna radiate, Lactuca sativa var. Ramosa, Dahlia pinnate, E. purpurea, Calendula officinalis, Helianthus annuus, Nicotiana. Benthamiana, Nicotiana tabacum and Chenopodium quinoa. Taken together, the TSV infectious clones will be a useful tool for future studies on viral pathogenesis and host-virus interactions.

Background: Despite numerous genetic studies on Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV), many strains from the Middle East remain misclassified or unclassified. Genotype 1 (GI-1) is found globally, while genotype 23 (GI-23) has emerged as the predominant genotype in the Middle East region, evolving continuously through inter- and intra-genotypic recombination. The GI-23 genotype is now enzootic in Europe and Asia.

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.

Inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) has proven to be highly effective in the treatment of B-cell malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), autoimmune disorders, and multiple sclerosis. Since the approval of the first BTK inhibitor (BTKi), Ibrutinib, several other inhibitors including Acalabrutinib, Zanubrutinib, Tirabrutinib, and Pirtobrutinib have been clinically approved. All are covalent active site inhibitors, with the exception of the reversible active site inhibitor Pirtobrutinib.

, an ectomycorrhizal fungus, forms a symbiotic relationship with , a rare and endangered species crucial to desert riparian ecosystems. In this study, endofungal bacteria (EFBs) within the fruiting bodies of were confirmed by a polyphasic approach, including genomic sequencing, real-time quantitative PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene, full-length and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the 16S rRNA gene, and culture methods. The genera , , , and were abundant in the EFBs of fruiting bodies associated with three hosts and were consistently present across different developmental stages.
