First Report of Tobacco mild green mosaic virus Infecting Capsicum annuum in Tunisia

During the springs of 2007 and 2008, leaf deformations as well as symptoms of mild green and chlorotic mosaic were observed on pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants grown in Monastir (northwest Tunisia) and Kebili (southeast Tunisia). With the support of projects A/5269/06 and A/8584/07 from the Spanish A...

520 |a During the springs of 2007 and 2008, leaf deformations as well as symptoms of mild green and chlorotic mosaic were observed on pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants grown in Monastir (northwest Tunisia) and Kebili (southeast Tunisia). With the support of projects A/5269/06 and A/8584/07 from the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECI), symptomatic leaf samples were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of leaf-dip preparations. Typical tobamovirus-like particles (rigid rods ≈300 nm long) were observed in crude plant extracts. According to literature, at least six tobamoviruses infect peppers: Paprika mild mottle virus (PaMMV); Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV); Ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV); Tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV); Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV); and Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) (1). Extracts from six symptomatic plants from Monastir and four from Kebili fields tested negative for ToMV, TMV, and PMMoV and tested positive for TMGMV by double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA using polyclonal antibodies specific to each virus (Loewe Biochemica GMBH, Sauerlach, Germany). To confirm the positive TMGMV results, total RNAs from 10 symptomatic plants that tested positive by ELISA were extracted and analyzed by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR using primers designed to specifically amplify a region of the coat protein gene (CP) of TMGMV (2). The 524-bp TMGMV-CP specific DNA fragment was amplified from all samples, but was not amplified from healthy plants or the sterile water used with negative controls. RT-PCR products were purified and directly sequenced. BLAST analysis of the obtained sequence (GenBank No. EU770626) showed 99 to 98% nucleotide identity with TMGMV isolates PAN-1, DSMZ PV-0113, TMGMV-Pt, and VZ1 (GenBank Nos. EU934035, EF469769, AM262165, and DQ460731, respectively) and less than 69% with PaMMV and PMMoV isolates (GenBank Nos. X72586 and AF103777, respectively). Two TMGMV-positive, singly, infected symptomatic pepper plants collected from Monastir and Kebili were used in mechanical transmissions to new pepper and tomato plants. Inoculated pepper plants exhibited mild chlorosis symptoms and tested positive for TMGMV only; however, inoculated tomato plants cv. Marmande were asymptomatic and tested negative as expected for TMGMV infection (1). To our knowledge, although C. annuum has been shown as a natural host for TMGMV (2), this is the first report of TMGMV in Tunisia. Reference: (1) A. A. Brunt et al.
