Abstract:

【Objective】The objective of this study is to explore the molecular variation and phylogenetic relationship of apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) in different cultivars of apple, and to lay a foundation for further revealing the molecular variation mechanism of ASSVd. 【Method】The different cultivars of apple including Fuji, Tonami, Wang Lin, Mid-Autumn King, Gold Delicious, Xin Nonghong and Xin Nonghuang, infected by ASSVd were used as materials to amplify complete genome sequence by specific primers, and then molecular cloning and sequencing were performed. Biological software DNAMAN was used to analyze the identities of the variant sequences and the MEGA was used to construct a phylogenetic tree. 【Result】A total of 210 sequences of ASSVd were obtained, with a total of 17 variants, with a size of 325-333 nt. Seventeen variants of ASSVd were aligned and analyzed with other published representative isolates. The result showed that all the variants were divided into three groups. Group I includes 10 variants, which are closely related to the reported Baoding Fuji isolate (KR264032.1). Group II includes 6 variants, which are clustered separately. Group III includes one variant, which is closely related to the Xinjiang Fuji isolate (EU031455.1). Based on 8 variation base sites at genome 0-3, 221, 251, 284, and 302, the 17 variants were divided into 6 type including: 1. nt 0-3 (GGTA) + nt 41-46 (TAAAAT) + nt 221 (T) + nt 251 (T) +nt 284 (G) + nt 302 (T); 2. nt 0-3 (XGGT) + nt 41-46 (AGATAX) + nt 221 (T) + nt 251(X) + nt 284 (A) + nt 302 (A); 3. nt 0-3 (XGGT) + nt 41-46 (AGATAX) + nt 221 (X) + nt 251 (T) + nt 284 (A) + nt 302 (A); 4. nt 0-3 (XGGT/GGTA) + nt 41-46 (AGATAX) + nt 221 (T) + nt 251 (T) + nt 284 (A) + nt 302 (A); 5. nt 0-3 (GGTA) + nt 41-46 (TAAAAT) + nt 221 (X) + nt 251 (G) + nt 284 (G) + nt 302 (T); 6. nt 0-3 (GGTA) + nt 41-46 (TAAAAT) + nt 221 (T) + nt 251 (G) + nt 284 (G) + nt 302 (T). X represents missing. There are 6 types of variants in Fuji, type 4 (47.5%) is the main type. There are 3 types of variants in Wang Lin, type 5 (43%) is the main type. There are 3 types of variants in Gold Delicious, type 4 (60%) is the main type. ASSVd obtained from Tonami is type 5 (100%). ASSVd obtained from Mid-Autumn King is type 4 (100%). There are 2 types in Xin Nonghong, type 1 (83.3%) is the main type. There are 3 types in Xin Nonghuang, type 1 (62.5%) is the main type. 【Conclusion】Seventeen variants from 7 cultivars are divided into 6 types according to the 8 variation base sites of ASSVd nt 0-3, 221, 251, 284, and 302. Different apple cultivars carry different ASSVd population structures. The types and proportions of ASSVd variants are different.
