First report of saffron latent virus in Crocus sativus from Hungary

In early April of 2018 we sampled asymptomatic autumn flowering Crocus plants (Fig. S1.) in a private collection in Hajdú-Bihar county, Hungary. From each species (Cr. kotschyanus subsp. kotschyanus, Cr. sativus, Cr. speciosus) 200 mg leaf sample was collected from 5 neighboring shoot, which were tr...

520 |a In early April of 2018 we sampled asymptomatic autumn flowering Crocus plants (Fig. S1.) in a private collection in Hajdú-Bihar county, Hungary. From each species (Cr. kotschyanus subsp. kotschyanus, Cr. sativus, Cr. speciosus) 200 mg leaf sample was collected from 5 neighboring shoot, which were treated as one sample. ELISA tests were carried out in duplicates using potyvirus-specific MAb PTY1 antibodies (Jordan and Hammond 1991) on the samples (Agdia, Elkhart, IN, USA). A sample was considered positive if the absorbance was at least three times greater than that of the negative control. Only one sample tested positive; the absorbance values of Cr. sativus leaves were 0.013 and 0.014, while the negative controls were 0.002 and 0.003, respectively. The samples were further tested by RT-PCR for potyviruses (Salamon and Palkovics 2005), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) (Nemes and Salánki 2020) and nepovirus subgroup A (Digiaro et al. 2007). Total nucleic acid was extracted with the phenol-chloroform method of White and Kaper (1989), and reverse transcription was carried out with Maxima H Minus First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics UAB, Vilnius, Lithuania) using random hexamer primer. The samples were negative for TSWV and nepovirus subgroup A, but a single PCR product of ~ 1700 nucleotide (nt) was amplified with potyvirus specific primers and cloned into pGEM®-T Easy vector (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The 1726 nt long insert sequence, including the complete coat protein region was determined and deposited in the NCBI GenBank database (Accession No: OR425160). Digestion of the original PCR products with restriction enzyme SacI yielded only the predicted restriction fragments (364 / 1362 bp), indicating the presence of only a single potyvirus in the infected sample. BLASTn analysis of the CP cistron revealed the highest nt identities to saffron latent virus (SaLV) Iranian isolates (GenBank AccNo.: MN990394 - 85.44%, MN990415 - 85.39% and RefSeq: NC_036802 - 84.05%). For phylogenetic analyses MEGA11 (Tamura et al. 2021) was used. The resulting Maximum Likelihood tree (Fig. S2) showed that all Iranian SaLV isolates grouped together, while the Hungarian isolate is on an adjacent branch, separate from other virus species, and supported with 100% bootstrap values. From these results, it appears that the Hungarian isolate has been separated from the Iranian clade, and has evolved separately as a distinct lineage. We were unable to fulfill Koch's postulates as all available Crocus sativus plants were infected with SaLV. Latent potyvirus infection of Crocus species, by bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), iris mild mosaic virus (IMMV), iris severe mosaic virus (ISMV) and turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) has been reported by Grilli Caiola and Faoro (2011). SaLV was first reported from Iran (Parizad et al. 2017), but to our knowledge has never been reported from Europe or from any current EPPO member state. Since Crocus species can be asymptomatic virus reservoirs, it is important that any certification scheme for production should require laboratory tests to prove the health of the plants; or advise growers to keep possible high value susceptible crops such as breeding material and nuclear stocks at a distance from crocuses to mitigate virus transmission between stocks. It is also advisable to grow infected lots far from healthy stocks and protected wild hosts. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SaLV from Hungary and from Europe
