摘要:

【目的】柑橘鳞皮病毒(citrus psorosis virus,CPsV)是蛇形病毒科(Aspiviridae)蛇形病毒属(Ophiovirus)的一种三分体负义单链RNA病毒,可引起柑橘树干开裂流胶,甚至整株死亡,严重威胁柑橘产业安全。负链RNA病毒的反向遗传学体系构建具有挑战性,本研究旨在建立CPsV基因组的全长cDNA克隆,并鉴定其侵染性,为其致病机理等研究打下基础。【方法】利用软件Primer 5设计引物,以CPsV侵染植株总核酸为模板,分别进行CPsV 3条链RNA1、RNA2、RNA3的RT-PCR扩增。基于双元表达载体pXT1,通过In-Fusion同源重组技术分别构建3条RNA链的cDNA克隆,进行酶切验证并测序分析。利用本氏烟(Nicotiana benthamiana)接种体系筛选CPsV 3条链的cDNA克隆组合,并进一步通过农杆菌介导注射接种至草本寄主千日红(Gomphrena globosa),真空浸润接种至不同的柑橘品种,观察其症状并进行分子检测。【结果】分别获得CPsV RNA1全长cDNA克隆2个,RNA2全长cDNA克隆2个,RNA3全长cDNA克隆2个。随机选取RNA1、RNA2、RNA3全长cDNA克隆各一个进行组合,作为CPsV基因组全长cDNA克隆,通过农杆菌介导注射接种本氏烟并进行RT-PCR检测。结果表明8个组合中CPsV-122阳性率最高,为62.50%。核苷酸序列分析显示,CPsV-122与西班牙分离物P-121的序列一致性最高,其RNA1、RNA2及RNA3相应的序列一致性分别为98.06%、97.10%和99.32%。在基于外壳蛋白氨基酸序列构建的系统进化树上,CPsV-122与P-121聚在同一支,并与来自中国、突尼斯、意大利的5个分离株聚为一簇。通过农杆菌介导接种CPsV-122至草本寄主千日红及柑橘品种尤力克柠檬(Citrus limon)和邓肯葡萄柚(C. paradise),进行症状观察和RT-PCR检测。结果表明,7 dpi时,千日红阳性率为16.67%(2/12),在25 dpi时,阳性植株出现明显的红褐色枯斑、叶片局部坏死等CPsV侵染症状;邓肯葡萄柚和尤力克柠檬的RT-PCR检测结果除阳性对照外均呈阴性,但在90 dpi,CPsV-122接种的20株尤力克柠檬植株中有13株表现出明显的矮化、黄化和嫩梢充胶、枯死等CPsV侵染典型症状,而空载对照组和健康对照组均未观察到特异性症状。【结论】CPsV-122为CPsV基因组全长cDNA克隆,能够系统侵染千日红并在柑橘上引起植株矮化和嫩梢枯死等CPsV侵染典型症状。

Abstract:

【Objective】Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV) is a tripartite, negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Ophiovirus in the family Aspiviridae, which can cause cracking of citrus trunks and even the death of the whole plant, seriously threatening the safety of the citrus industry. The construction of reverse genetics systems for negative-strand RNA viruses is challenging. This study aims to establish a full-length cDNA clone of CPsV genome and determine its infectivity, with the expectation of laying a foundation for research on its pathogenic mechanism and other aspects.【Method】The primers were designed using software Primer 5, and the total nucleic acid of CPsV-infected plants was used as a template for RT-PCR amplification of the three strands of CPsV, RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3, respectively. Based on the dual-expression vector pXT1, cDNA clones of three RNA strands were constructed by In-Fusion homologous recombination technology, which were verified by enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis. The cDNA clones of the three strands of CPsV were screened by the Nicotiana benthamiana inoculation system, and further inoculated into the herb host Gomphrena globosa by Agrobacterium-mediated injection, and then inoculated into different citrus varieties by vacuum infiltration to observe their symptoms and perform molecular detection.【Result】A total of two CPsV RNA1 full-length cDNA clones, two RNA2 full-length cDNA clones, and two RNA3 full-length cDNA clones were obtained, respectively. One full-length cDNA clone of RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3 was randomly selected and combined as a full-length cDNA clone of CPsV genome, eight RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3 cDNA clones were selected and inoculated on N. benthamiana through Agrobacterium-mediated inoculation and RT-PCR detection. Among the eight combinations, the positive rate of CPsV-122 was the highest (62.50%). Sequence analysis showed that CPsV-122 had the highest sequence identity with Spanish isolate P-121, and the corresponding sequence identities of RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3 were 98.06%, 97.10% and 99.32%, respectively. In a phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid sequence of coat protein, CPsV-122 and P-121 were clustered in the same clade and five isolates from China, Tunisia and Italy. CPsV-122 was inoculated by Agrobacterium-mediated inoculation to G. globosa, Citrus limon and C. paradise for symptom observation and RT-PCR test. The results showed that at 7 dpi, the positive rate of G. globosa was 16.67% (2/12), and at 25 dpi, the positive plants showed obvious reddish-brown blight, local necrosis of leaves and other CPsV infection symptoms. The RT-PCR results of C. paradise and C. limon were negative except for the positive control, but at 90 dpi, 13 out of 20 C. limon plants inoculated with CPsV-122 showed obvious CPsV infection symptoms such as dwarfing, yellowing, wilting shoots and shoot gelatinization, while no specific symptoms were observed in the empty vector group and the healthy control group.【Conclusion】CPsV-122 is a full-length cDNA clone of the CPsV genome, which can systematically infect G. globosa and cause typical CPsV infection symptoms on citrus, such as dwarfing and withering of shoots.
