摘要

Begomoviruses are an emergent and economically important group of single stranded DNA viruses in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. In the second chapter the biological and molecular properties of three strains of the bipartite begomovirus Jatropha mosaic virus (JMV) from the Dominican Republic (DO) were determined. Jatropha plants inoculated with the infectious clones of these JMV strains developed yellow mosaic symptoms, which fulfilled Koch's postulates. For this disease. Furthermore, these JMV strains also infected the crop plants, tobacco and common bean, revealing a possible link between weed- and crop-infecting begomoviruses. Finally, asymmetry in replication and infectivity of pseudorecombinants formed between the DNA components of these strains was consistent with a high degree of genetic diversity, and suggested a long history of local evolution of JMV in the DO. In the third chapter, the first bona fide New World monopartite begomovirus Tomato leaf deformation virus (ToLDeV) was characterized, and shown to be the causal agent of tomato leaf curl disease in Peru and Ecuador based on multimeric clones of the genomic DNA of three ToLDeV genotypes, delivered via agroinoculation, inducing leaf curl symptoms in tomato indistinguishable from those observed in the tomato fields. Biological properties of ToLDeV were similar to those of Old World monopartite tomato-infecting begomoviruses, including lack of sap-transmissibility, phloem limitation, a resistance phenotype in tomato germplasm with the Ty-1 gene and functional properties of the V1 (capsid protein) and C4 genes. Differences in symptom phenotypes induced by the ToLDeV genotypes in tomato (e.g., whether a recovery phenotype was observed or not) and N. benthamiana plants were associated with a highly divergent left intergenic region and C4 gene. Finally, evidence is presented that the ToLDeV genotypes emerged from the DNA-A component of a New World bipartite progenitor via parallel evolution, mutation and recombination. In the fourth chapter, the functions of the ToLDeV C2 (TrAP) and C4 genes were investigated by mutational analysis and ectopic expression via two viral vectors with distinct tissue tropism (phloem-limited and non-phloem limited). ToLDeV C2 mutants replicated in N. benthamiana leaf discs, but the infectivity was host-specific. The capacity of the TrAP and C4 viral proteins to suppress gene silencing was evaluated. Neither TrAP nor C4 protein suppressed local silencing; however, C4 acted as a strong suppressor of long-distance silencing. Both C2 and C4 showed some capacity to suppress transcriptional gene silencing based on restoring GFP expression in transcriptionally silenced 16c-TGS plants. Moreover, a high level of cytosine methylation in the left intergenic region of ToLDeV was associated with tomato plants showing the recovery phenotype following infection with ToLDeV. Finally, subcellular localization studies revealed that the TrAP protein localized to the nucleus, whereas C4 was localized to the plasma membrane.
