Physalis angulata : A New Natural Host of Tomato chlorosis virus in Brazil

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) and Tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV) are the two Solanaceae-infecting Crinivirus species (family Closteroviridae) of worldwide importance. In Brazil, only ToCV has been detected under natural conditions infecting tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), sweet pepper (Caps...

520 |a Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) and Tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV) are the two Solanaceae-infecting Crinivirus species (family Closteroviridae) of worldwide importance. In Brazil, only ToCV has been detected under natural conditions infecting tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum), and potato (S. tuberosum), causing foliar chlorosis (1, 3). However, there are no formal reports of alternative weed hosts of ToCV. During crop surveys in Capão Bonito, São Paulo State, Brazil (May 2011), a high incidence (above 20%) of plants of the weed, cut leaf ground cherry (Physalis angulata L.) growing around and within a tomato (cv. Alambra) field with a high incidence of ToCV, were found displaying interveinal chlorosis on the lower leaves, similar to those induced by magnesium deficiency. The P. angulata plants also had high populations of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci biotype B). Ten leaf samples were taken from individual symptomatic ground cherry and tomato plants for Crinivirus testing. Total nucleic acids were extracted from 2 g of symptomatic and healthy leaf tissues of both hosts using Whatman CF-11 cellulose (Sigma) as described (4). The purified double stranded RNA samples were used as a template in reverse transcription (RT)-PCR using specific primers targeting the p22 gene region in the genome of ToCV (2). Only the 566-bp ToCV-specific amplicon was detected in all field samples. Sequences of samples from the P. angulata and tomato cDNA amplicons were identical to each other (GenBank Accession No. JX187514) and they showed 99% identity with the ToCV RNA 1 from a tomato isolate from Florida (AY903447). This confirmed the initial hypothesis of Crinivirus infection. Cuttings of symptomatic P. angulata plants were also obtained and kept in a voile cage under greenhouse conditions together with healthy seedlings of P. angulata and the begomovirus-resistant inbred tomato line 'TX-468RG.' Fifty aviruliferous B. tabaci (biotype B) adults were placed in the cage. Similar symptoms were observed 50 days after exposure to whiteflies in both hosts. Transmission to P. angulata and to 'TX-468RG' was also confirmed via sequencing of ToCV-specific amplicon, demonstrating the infectivity of the isolate to both hosts. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. angulata as a natural host of ToCV in Brazil. This weed is often present in the commercial fields because of its natural tolerance to herbicides currently used in tomato production. The ToCV-infected P. angulata plants might serve as alternative sources of inoculum for the surrounding tomato fields. The environmental persistence of P. angulata combined with its intense whitefly colonization might allow a year-round ToCV exposure for tomato plants under field conditions in this major production area of Brazil where at least 25 million tomato plants are cultivated annually.
