This study isolated and characterized a novel positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ ssRNA) mycovirus from Setosphaeria turcica , the phytopathogenic fungus causing maize northern leaf blight in Yunnan Province, which was tentatively designated as Setosphaeria turcica fusarivirus 2 (StFV2). The complete genome of StFV2 is 6,609 nucleotides in length with a GC content of 45%, and RACE amplification results confirmed that the viral genome lacks a poly(A) tail. Its genome comprises two open reading frames. ORF1 encodes a replication-associated protein that contains an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domain with the conserved GDD motif and an SF2-type helicase domain. ORF2 encodes a putative hydrophilic auxiliary protein. Sequence alignment analysis revealed that StFV2 shares the closest phylogenetic relationship with Setosphaeria turcica fusarivirus 1 (StFV1, accession no. MW489564) derived from S. turcica. The overall genomic nucleotide identity between the two viruses is 60.86%, while the amino acid sequence identities of ORF1 and ORF2 are 69.12% and 54.21%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis verified that StFV2 belongs to the genus Alphafusarivirus within the family Fusariviridae . In accordance with the species demarcation criteria of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) for the genus Alphafusarivirus , a strain with more than 20% sequence divergence in the full-length RdRp protein is defined as a novel species member. Thus, StFV2 should be classified as a novel member of the genus Alphafusarivirus . This study enriches the mycovirus resource repertoire associated with S. turcica, and provides a theoretical foundation for further exploring the interaction mechanisms between mycoviruses and fungal pathogens, as well as for excavating biocontrol agents against maize northern leaf blight.
In February 2022, leaf zonate spot disease afflicted Aloe vera L. in Yunnan, China, endangering the $39 billion industry with 0.33ha under cultivation (Wan 2015). The disease manifested with watery spots progressing into oval or circular necrosis lesions, characterized by a dark center surrounded by a gray-brown zone. In the late stage of the disease, lesions regress in size and several small dark picnidia dots appeared on the gray-brown zone. The disease incidence ranged from 10% to 15% in three commercial plantations. If left uncontrolled, the disease could diminish the commercial value of Aloe vera plants. Eighteen symptomatic leaf samples underwent morphological and genetic identification. The samples were carefully washed with distilled water and 1×1 cm2 sections of tissue were excised using a sterile scalpel. The sections underwent surface-disinfection with 3% NaOCl for 3 min and 75% ethanol for 30 s. After three sterile water rinses the sections were air-dried. Subsequently, they were transferred to potato dextrose agar (PDA) before being incubated at 25 ℃ in the dark. Of the 18 samples, eight produced the colonies with similar morphological characteristics, named LH7. Isolate LH7 had downy to woolly aerial mycelia, initially pinkish white on the surface, and gradually turned greenish-olivaceous from the middle, and eventually turned dark brown to black after seven days. The fungus formed arthric chains in the aerial mycelium on PDA but did not produce conidiomata. The conidia, which occurred in arthric chains were 5.50-9.9 × 4.08-7.51 μm (mean 7.09× 5.26 μm, n=50) in size, cylindrical, brown, and 0-1 septate. To ascertain LH7’s pathogenicity, three healthy one-year old aloe plants were surface-sanitized with a 1% aqueous chlorine solution, rinsed with sterile water, and dried. Three leaves from each plant were punctuated and inoculated using conidial suspension (100 μl of 1x 106 conidial mL-1), while three control plants were inoculated with sterile distilled water. The pathogenicity tests were repeated twice. The inoculated plants were kept at 25 ℃ with a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. After seven days, symptoms observed in the field appeared in the plants, while no disease occurred in the control plants. After 21 days, conidiomata formed on the inoculated leaves, averaging 116.92 μm (n=20) in diameter. These conidiomata were globose to subglobose, and brown to sub-brown. The fungus was successfully re-isolated from symptomatic tissue and the resulting colonies were morphologically consistent with isolate LH7. Based on the characteristics, the fungus was identified as Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (Philips et al. 2013). The specimen was deposited in China Center for Type Culture Collection ( CCTCC AF 2024001). This identification was confirmed through sequencing of ITS gene region of rDNA using ITS1/ITS4 (Imran et al. 2022). The sequence was submitted into GenBank database (ON878059). BLAST analysis of the LH7’s ITS amplicon showed 100% similarity with that of JN093303.1. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the maximum likelihood method revealed that ON878059 was clustered with JN093303.1. Previous studies have documented that pathogens such as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.), Fusarium spp. and Rhizopus oryzae can also cause diseases in A. vera in China (Zhou et al. 2008; Ding et al. 2015). Additinonally, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Pseudopestalotiopsis theae, and Lasiodiplodia theobromae have been identified as causal agents of aloe leaf spot diseases in India, Bangladesh and Malaysia (Avasthi et al. 2016; Ahmmed et al. 2022; Khoo et al. 2022). To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. dimidiatum causing leaf necrosis of aloe in China. Vigilant surveillance and disease control measures are imperative to mitigate potential losses in this region.

The complete genome sequence of a putative novel closterovirus, tentatively named "Dregea volubilis closterovirus 1" (DvCV1, GenBank accession no. MZ779122), infecting Dregea volubilis in China was determined using high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The complete genome sequence of DvCV1 consists of 16,165 nucleotides (nt) and contains nine ORFs. The genome structure of DvCV1 is typical of members of the genus Closterovirus. Complete genome sequence analysis showed that DvCV1 shares 41.4–48.4% nucleotide sequence identity with other known closteroviruses. The putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), heat shock protein 70-like protein (HSP70h), and coat protein (CP) of DvCV1 share 46.80-62.65%, 31.06–51.80%, and 28.34–37.37% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with the RdRp, HSP70h and CP of other closteroviruses. Phylogenetic analysis based on HSP70h aa sequences placed DvCV1 alongside other members of the genus Closterovirus in the family Closteroviridae. These results suggest that DvCV1 is a new member of the genus Closterovirus. This is the first report of a closterovirus infecting D. volubilis.
Paris mitovirus 1 (ParMV1) is a positive-sense RNA virus isolated from diseased Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis plants in Wenshan, Yunnan. The complete genome sequence of ParMV1 consists of 2,751 nucleotides with a genome structure typical of the mitoviruses. ParMV1 genome has a single open reading frame (ORF: 358-2,637 nt) that encodes RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with a molecular mass of 86.42 kDa. ParMV1 contains six conserved motifs (Ι-VΙ) that are unique to mitoviruses. In addition, the 5′and 3′ terminals of the genome have a stable secondary structure, and the reverse complementary sequence forms a panhandle structure. Comparative genome analysis revealed that ParMV1 shares 23.1–40.6% amino acid (aa) and 32.3–45.7% nucleotide (nt) sequence identities with the RdRp of other mitoviruses. The phylogenetic tree inferred from RdRp aa sequence showed that ParMV1 clusters with mitoviruses, and hence should be considered as a new member of the genus Mitovirus in the family Motiviridae . This is the first report of a novel mitovirus infecting Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis .
为明确云南省引起滇重楼(Paris polyphylla var.yunnanensis)病毒病的病原,以昆明市发现的花叶、斑驳症状的滇重楼叶片为样品,进行透射电镜观察、高通量测序和反转录(RT-PCR)检测.结果表明,观察到大小约(700~1000)nm×13 nm的线状病毒粒子;基于高通量测序结果设计特异性引物进行RT-PCR扩增并克隆,得到1条全长为10066个核苷酸(nt)的病毒序列,将该病毒暂命名为Paris virus 1(ParV1);BLAST比对分析表明,ParV1与马铃薯Y病毒属(Potyvirus)中的浙贝母花叶病毒(Thunberg fritillary mosaic virus,TFMV)具有最高为65.1%、68.9%的核苷酸及氨基酸(aa)序列同源性;多序列比对分析显示,ParV1多聚蛋白与potyviruses具有49.6%~65.1%的nt序列同源性及47.1%~68.9%的aa序列同源性;基于多聚蛋白氨基酸序列构建的系统发育树表明,该病毒与TFMV亲缘关系较近且聚为一个单独的分支.综上所述,确定ParV1属于Potyvirus的一种新病毒.将含ParV1的病毒汁液以机械摩擦的方法接种到心叶烟、本氏烟上对ParV1进行致病性初步测定.接种后的心叶烟植株叶片表现出明显病毒病症状,经RT-PCR及分子克隆在接种的心叶烟中检测到ParV1的存在,表明心叶烟植株受到ParV1的侵染,而接种的本氏烟上暂未检测到该病毒的存在.
