A New Strain of Tomato chino La Paz virus Associated with a Leaf Curl Disease of Tomato in Baja California Sur, Mexico

Since 2001, geminivirus-like disease symptoms have been observed in tomato plants on the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico. These diseases have been associated with large populations of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) in commercial fields and have caused dramatic decreases in expected yields. Leaf samples...

520 |a Since 2001, geminivirus-like disease symptoms have been observed in tomato plants on the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico. These diseases have been associated with large populations of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) in commercial fields and have caused dramatic decreases in expected yields. Leaf samples from tomato plants displaying symptoms of stunting and severe upward leaf curling were collected in March 2002 in fields located near the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur (BCS). Total DNA was extracted and tested for the presence of geminiviral DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with begomovirus-specific degenerate primer pairs PALIv1978/PARIc494 and PALIc1978/PARIv494 (4). PCR products of the expected size (~1.16 and ~1.45 kb) were obtained, cloned into pGEM-T Easy (Promega, Madison, WI), and sequenced. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the PCR fragments was performed using EcoRI, HindIII, PstI, and XbaI. Restriction fragment patterns were the same for all amplicons and no evidence of mixed infection was obtained. In addition, experimental transmission by whiteflies and inoculations by biolistics consistently induced severe leaf epinasty and stunted growth on tomato seedlings. The complete (2,606 nt) DNA-A sequence of the infecting virus was determined (GenBank Accession No. AY339618) and compared with viral sequences available at GenBank-EMBL databases using BLASTN and the CLUSTAL program (MegAlign, DNASTAR, Madison, WI). The highest nucleotide identity was obtained with the recently described Tomato chino Baja California virus, ToChBCV (90.2%, GenBank Accession No. AY339619), isolated from tomato plantings in El Carrizal, BCS, 100 km from La Paz (3). The second and third best scores were obtained with Tomato severe leaf curl virus from Nicaragua (ToSLCV-NI, 79.6%, GenBank Accession No. AJ508784) and Guatemala (ToSLCV-GT94, 73.8%, GenBank Accession No. AF130415), respectively. Overall, sequence similarity with other New World begomoviruses was rather low (less than 70% identity). Careful analysis of differences between the La Paz isolate and its closest relative, ToChBCV from El Carrizal, revealed that they display different Ori-associated iterons (i.e., replication (Rep)-binding sites) having GGAGTA and GGGTCY core sequences, respectively (1). Moreover, sequence comparisons of the Rep-binding domain (aa 1-120) showed that these domains are only 71% identical. Current taxonomic criteria for begomoviruses establishes that a virus DNA-A sequence identity below 89% with its closest relative is indicative of a separate species (2). Since the La Paz and El Carrizal isolates share 90.2% nt identity, they should be considered strains of a same virus species, recently renamed Tomato chino La Paz virus, ToChLPV (2). Nevertheless, the remarkable differences in their putative replication specificity determinants suggest that ToChLPV and ToChLPV-[BCS] could be incompatible in replication, an interesting issue that should be experimentally addressed.
