Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist.
• Lycopersicon esculentum - vein-clearing and vein-yellowing, mottling, leaf crinkle and dwarfing.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector (probably); an insect. Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by contact between plants; not transmitted by seed; not transmitted by pollen.

Ecology and control

Studies reported by Kano et al. (1981a); Kano et al. (1981b); Kano et al. (1985).

Geographical distribution

Spreads in Japan.

Experimental host range

Few (<3) families susceptible.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

Sources of host-range data

Kano et al. (1981a); Kano et al. (1981b); Kano et al. (1985).

Physical and biochemical properties

Properties of particles in sap

TIP: 40 °C. LIV: 2 days (4ºC), or 0.5-1 days (20ºC). DEP: log₁₀ minus 3-4. Infectivity of sap decreased by treatment with di-ethyl ether. Leaf sap contains many virions. Electron microscopy: rapid preparations using PTA after fixing.

Purification method

Kano et al. (1981a); Kano et al. (1981b); Kano et al. (1985).

Particle morphology

Virions rhabdo- or bullet-shaped; enveloped; with a clear modal length; of 240-250 nm; 86-88 nm wide. Axial canal obvious. Basic helix obvious; pitch of basic helix 4.5 nm.

Physical properties

One sedimenting component in purified preparations; sedimentation coefficient 1040 S.

Biochemical properties

Also are polysaccharides.

Features of proteins

Virion protein(s) four.

Replication

Replication does not depend on a helper virus.

Cytopathology

Virions found in all parts of the host plant; in cytoplasm, in nucleoli, and in the perinuclear space; in the endoplasmic reticulum. Inclusions present in infected cells; are viroplasms; they contain virions.

Taxonomy and relationships

Nucleorhabdovirus: Rhabdoviridae
