Nomenclature

Synonyms

oat chlorotic stripe virus, oat tubular virus (Plumb and MacFarlane, 1978), soil-borne oat stripe virus.

Acronym

OGSV

ICTV decimal code

27.0.1.0.002

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms vary seasonally. Symptoms yellow striping on tip leaves when systemically infected.
• Avena sativa - yellow striping on two youngest leaves.
  Many plants may have infected roots, but show no systemic symptoms.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; a fungus (presumably); Polymyxa graminis; Plasmodiophorales. Principal natural vector(s): Polymyxa graminis. Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by contact between plants.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in France, the UK, and the USA (North Carolina).

Experimental host range

Several (3-9) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show mottling; striping rare in glasshouse plants.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Avena sativa - yellow mottling and stripes on leaves; systemic infection.
• Nicotiana clevelandii, Chenopodium amaranticolor - necrotic local lesions, sometimes systemic in N. clevelandii.
• Nicotiana debneyi - chlorotic local lesions.
• Nicotiana benthamiana.

Diagnostically insusceptible host species

Triticum sp., Hordeum vulgare, Phaseolus vulgaris.

Maintenance and propagation hosts

Avena sp.

Susceptible host species

• Avena sativa
• Chenopodium amaranticolor
• Nicotiana benthamiana
• Nicotiana clevelandii
• Nicotiana debneyi

Insusceptible host species

• Hordeum vulgare
• Phaseolus vulgaris
• Triticum aestivum

Families containing susceptible hosts

• Chenopodiaceae (1/1)
• Gramineae (1/3)
• Solanaceae (3/3)

Families containing insusceptible hosts

• Gramineae (2/3)
• Leguminosae-Papilionoideae (1/1)

Sources of host-range data

Plumb et al. (1977).

Physical and biochemical properties

Properties of particles in sap

Leaf sap contains few virions.

Purification method

Adams et al. (1988).

Particle morphology

Virions rod-shaped; not enveloped; usually straight; with a clear modal length; of 150-300 nm; 20 nm wide. Axial canal obvious. Basic helix obscure.

Physical properties

Two sedimenting components in purified preparations; sedimentation coefficient of the fastest 218 S; of the other(s) 168 S. Density 1.321 g cm^-3 in CsCl.

Biochemical properties

Genome consists of RNA; single-stranded; linear. Total genome size 9.7 kb. Genome of two parts; largest (or only) genome part the larger 6.2 kb; the 2nd largest 3.5 kb. Genomic nucleic acid isolated by Jones: proteinase K incubation followed by phenol/chloroform and precipitation with ethanol.

NCBI sequence data (Entrez search)

Features of proteins

Virion protein(s) one; M_r 20000.

Cytopathology

Virions found in leaves and roots; in cytoplasm. Other cellular changes: disruption of organelles (Plumb et al., 1977).

Taxonomy and relationships

Furovirus

Virus(es) with serologically related virions

Soil borne wheat mosaic virus.

Virus(es) with serologically unrelated virions

Beet necrotic yellow vein, hypochoeris mosaic and potato mop top viruses.

Additional comments on relationships

Very distantly serologically related to potato M and red clover vein mosaic carlaviruses.

Best tests for diagnosis

Often found with oat mosaic virus. Distinguish by virion morphology in EM `dip preparations'.
