Characterization of an Isolate of Citrus Concave Gum-Associated Virus from Apples in China and Development of an RT-RPA Assay for the Rapid Detection of the Virus

Apple (<i>Malus domestica</i>) fruits exhibiting bright stripe symptoms were identified in Weihai City, Shandong Province, China. To investigate the virome in the apple samples, the method of high throughput sequencing (HTS) was used to identify the viruses. It was found that the sequenc...

The full-length genome of the CCGaV-Weihai isolate contained two segments, the RNA1 was 6674 nt in size containing a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and the RNA2 was ambisense, 2706 nt in length, encoding a movement protein (MP) and a coat protein (CP). Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses indicated that CCGaV-Weihai was more closely related to CCGaV-H2799 isolated from the apple host in the United States and distantly related to CCGaV-CGW2 from <i>Citrus sinensis</i> in Italy, indicating a possibly geographical and host differentiation of CCGaV isolates. This was the first identification and characterization of CCGaV infecting apples in China. Additionally, a rapid and sensitive reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay technique was established for CCGaV detection in apple plants. The RT-RPA of CCGaV was not affected by other common viruses in apple plants and is about 10-fold more sensitive than the conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method, which can be used in large-scale testing.Zhen LiuZhenfei DongBinhui ZhanShifang LiMDPI AGarticlecitrus concave gum-associated virusapple viruscoguvirusRT-RPABotanyQK1-989ENPlants, Vol 10, Iss 2239, p 2239 (2021)
