nicotine/necrosis

The phytopathogenic fungi Phytophthora cryptogea and Phytophthora capsici cause systemic leaf necrosis on their non-host tobacco; in culture they release proteins, called cryptogein and capsicein, which elicit similar necrosis. In addition, both proteins protect tobacco against invasion by the

Different regulatory elements function are involved in plant virus gene expression and replication by long-distance RNA-RNA interactions. A cap-independent functional element of the Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) - like translational enhancer (BTE) is present in Tobacco necrosis virus A (TNV-A), a

Serological and coat protein sequence studies were conducted to identify an ilarvirus associated with necrosis disease on sunflower in India. In electroblot immunoassay, sunflower ilarvirus reacted strongly only with antiserum to Tobacco streak virus (TSV). The coat protein gene of sunflower

We present the first complete genome sequence of the tombusvirus Tobacco necrosis virus D (TNV-D) from North America, obtained from an infected soybean plant. Compared with the three other TNV-D genomes isolated from different geographic regions and host plants, its nucleotide identities were

Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) causes the economically important corky ring spot disease in potato. Chemical control is difficult due to the soilborne nature of the TRV-transmitting nematode vector, and identifying natural host resistance against TRV is considered to be the optimal control measure. The

Hypersensitive resistance (HR) to strains O and C of Potato virus Y (PVY, genus Potyvirus) is conferred by potato genes Ny(tbr) and Nc(tbr), respectively; however, PVY N strains overcome these resistance genes. The viral helper component proteinases (HCpro, 456 amino acids) from PVY(N) and PVY(O)

Three potato virus Y isolates, representatives of distinct PVY groups, identified in potato fields in northern Poland were submitted to biological and molecular analysis. Phenotypically, two isolates, PVYN-Ny and PVYN-Wi, belong to the necrotic strain and the third one (PVYO-LW) to the common

A novel Potato virus Y (PVY) isolate, L26, recovered from a Frontier potato line was initially typed as a PVY(NTN) strain using multiplex RT-PCR and serological assays. However, L26 induced mosaic and mild vein clearing symptoms in tobacco rather than vein necrosis characteristic of the PVY (NTN)

Summary A root knot nematode resistance gene in Nicotiana tabacum, Rk, providing resistance to the nematode parasite Meloidogyne incognita is tightly linked to, or is a pleiotropic gene with a veinal necrosis systemic hypersensitive response to infection by Potato virus Y (PVY) M(s)N(r). The single

Two tobacco vein necrosis (TVN) determinants, the residues K(400) and E(419) , have been identified previously in the helper component-protease (HC-Pro) protein sequence of Potato virus Y (PVY). However, since their description, non-necrotic PVY isolates with both K(400) and E(419) necrotic

Viral molecular determinant(s) involved in the tobacco vein necrosis (TVN) symptom induced by necrotic isolates of Potato virus Y (PVY) on Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi leaves remain undetermined. Reference isolates belonging to PVY(N) (infectious PVY(N)-605 clone) and PVY(O) (PVY(O)-139) were used

In order to reveal the induced resistance mechanism of tobacco treated with copper solution to potato virus Y-vein necrosis strain (PVY(N)), disease indexes, contents of virus and some physiological and biochemical indexes in tobacco were studied. The results showed that when treated at the copper

The prevalence of necrotic potato virus Y (PVY) in natural populations could reflect increased fitness of necrotic isolates. In this paper, the effects of the acquisition of molecular determinants (A/G(2213) and A/C(2271)) involved in necrosis capacity on both the number of progeny produced and the

ABSTRACT Tn5-induced mutations in Agrobacterium vitis F2/5 resulted in both altered grape necrosis and tobacco leaf panel collapse phenotypes, suggesting that the underlying mechanisms of the reactions are related. The reaction on tobacco resembles the classical hypersensitive response (HR) caused

Satellite tobacco necrosis virus (STNV) RNAs isolated from early, middle, and late passage virus stocks were found to contain substantial and reproducible sequence variations which increased with passage of the virus. Several instances of clustered or correlated sequence changes were found. This
