[31] reported the emergence and spread of ToCV by a highly effective Bemisia tabaci (MED, formerly biotype Q) in Europe. Moreover, only weed samples collected from the northern and south-eastern parts of the country tested positive for ToCV; with a higher prevalence in the north (Table 3). In addition, criniviruses that are capable of infecting solanaceous hosts have been grouped accordingly and include ToCV, TICV, BPYV, and PYVV [15]. Limpopo province is the major production area with 3 590 ha (Northern Lowveld at 2 700 ha and far Northern areas of Limpopo at 890 ha). Symptomatic tomato plants typically exhibited interveinal leaf chlorosis, chlorotic flecking and leaf bronzing. S. nigrum and D. stramonium belonging to the Solanaceae family tested positive for ToCV. 0000008160 00000 n
Although recombination events were not detected, phylogenetic studies showed inconsistencies in the grouping of RNA-1 and RNA-2 segments for some of the ToCV isolates analyzed in this study. This also suggests a possible connection between Spanish and some South Korean isolates, specifically JJ. Supervision, Affiliation More importantly, stringent policies on the trade and movement of plant material across borders, together with a strategic management approach can significantly reduce the economic impact of ToCV infections throughout the world. were more predominant throughout the areas surveyed; however, significantly higher populations of Trialeurodes sp. 0000000016 00000 n
Criniviruses accumulate in the phloem tissue and damage crops by reducing chlorophyll which is essential for plant growth and development. The phylogram was constructed using the Maximum likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model and a bootstrap value of 1000 replicates in MEGA 6. ToCV, TICV, BPYV, and PYVV) that are known to infect solanaceous hosts (Table 2) [15], our findings showed that only ToCV was detected in both field and greenhouse cultivated tomato crops and weeds (Table 3). The fruit is rich in lycopene and Vitamin C. Tomatoes are used in various ways. History Of Tomato Cultivation. RNA templates were incubated at 65°C for 5 min and placed on ice prior to the addition of a master mix component as indicated by the manufacturer.

Officials from a South African tomato production company, Odger & Belegging Corporation, are in Namibia to investigate possible investment in agricultural value-addition projects. Tomatoes are produced in all South African provinces, but Limpopo province with its warm climate is best suited for production of tomatoes. Macedo et al. Therefore, we suggest the possibility of intraspecific reassortment. Using the reference genome assembler: Bowtie2 version2.3.4 [18], an index reference database was constructed, and the sequence reads that did not align to the reference genome was collected for meta-assembly. No, Is the Subject Area "Farms" applicable to this article? Symptoms including interveinal leaf chlorosis, chlorotic flecking, and leaf bronzing that are typically associated with crinivirus infections were observed on tomato crops growing in fields and greenhouses located on commercial, smallholder, or subsistence farms (Fig 2). The non-enveloped filamentous particles usually have two modal lengths (650–850 and 700–900 nm) and a diameter of 10–13 nm [1]. Some tomato samples that tested positive for ToCV exhibited symptoms atypical to those caused by ToCV and was later found to be coinfected with an array of other viruses including Tomato torrado virus (ToTV), Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), and Potato virus Y (PVY). Accepted 31 August, 2010 The tomato is a very important vegetable crop in South Africa. Whiteflies collected from field and tunnel sites across South Africa indicated the presence of Bemisia and Trialeurodes species from nymph and adult phenotypic analysis. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.g004, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.t004. Almost half (47%) of the tomato samples analyzed in this study tested positive for ToCV infections and the majority of these were collected from symptomatic tomato plants. [2] indicate that the management of ToCV is primarily by chemical and cultural methods. Knowledge of abiotic factors that contribute to pest and disease outbreaks is fundamental to the development of climate models that project the risks associated with epidemics. Two microliters of each ligation reaction were added to TOP10 chemically competent E. coli cells and heat shocked at 42°C for 30 s. Successful transformants were selected (from blue/white colony screening) and cultured using LB (Luria-Bertani) broth in a shaking incubator at 37°C overnight. Only two (D. stramonium and S. nigrum) of the 15 species of weeds collected in this study tested positive for ToCV infection which accounted for approximately 21% (38/182) of the samples analyzed. The relative size and position of each ORF are represented accordingly. While they are produced throughout South Africa, the bulk of production takes place in the Western Cape. Results from the survey indicated that ToCV is presently the only crinivirus species infecting tomatoes in South Africa.

Paramu L. Mafongoya, Roles Citation: Moodley V, Gubba A, Mafongoya PL (2019) Prevalence, epidemiology and molecular studies of Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) in South Africa. Major production areas in South Africa Tomatoes are grown all over the country in summer and in winter in frost-free areas, and their production is concentrated in Limpopo, the Mpumalanga Lowveld and Middleveld, the Pongola area of Kwazulu-Natal, the southern parts ⦠The growing demand for derived products, such as fruit juice and jams and increase in consumer awareness towards healthier alternatives such as fruits and vegetables are some of the factors driving the market growth. E: Reduced plant vigor, stunted growth, leaf brittleness, and upward leaf curling observed on lower mature leaves of whitefly-infested tomato crops. Recently, Moodley et al. Only weed species occurring within proximity to field and greenhouse cultivated tomato crops were collected and analyzed. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.g005. Therefore, the forecast is lowered by another 10,000 tonnes to 90,000 tonnes. Additionally, we recommend the use of climate/pest phenology models that can provide valuable information on the distribution and population dynamics of whitefly vectors. Investigation, The accession number for each isolate is displayed in parenthesis. 0000007304 00000 n

In South West Nigeria, tomatoes are usually expensive during the rainy season. 0000003779 00000 n
[31] reported the emergence and spread of ToCV by a highly effective Bemisia tabaci (MED, formerly biotype Q) in Europe. Moreover, only weed samples collected from the northern and south-eastern parts of the country tested positive for ToCV; with a higher prevalence in the north (Table 3). In addition, criniviruses that are capable of infecting solanaceous hosts have been grouped accordingly and include ToCV, TICV, BPYV, and PYVV [15]. Limpopo province is the major production area with 3 590 ha (Northern Lowveld at 2 700 ha and far Northern areas of Limpopo at 890 ha). Symptomatic tomato plants typically exhibited interveinal leaf chlorosis, chlorotic flecking and leaf bronzing. S. nigrum and D. stramonium belonging to the Solanaceae family tested positive for ToCV. 0000008160 00000 n
Although recombination events were not detected, phylogenetic studies showed inconsistencies in the grouping of RNA-1 and RNA-2 segments for some of the ToCV isolates analyzed in this study. This also suggests a possible connection between Spanish and some South Korean isolates, specifically JJ. Supervision, Affiliation More importantly, stringent policies on the trade and movement of plant material across borders, together with a strategic management approach can significantly reduce the economic impact of ToCV infections throughout the world. were more predominant throughout the areas surveyed; however, significantly higher populations of Trialeurodes sp. 0000000016 00000 n
Criniviruses accumulate in the phloem tissue and damage crops by reducing chlorophyll which is essential for plant growth and development. The phylogram was constructed using the Maximum likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model and a bootstrap value of 1000 replicates in MEGA 6. ToCV, TICV, BPYV, and PYVV) that are known to infect solanaceous hosts (Table 2) [15], our findings showed that only ToCV was detected in both field and greenhouse cultivated tomato crops and weeds (Table 3). The fruit is rich in lycopene and Vitamin C. Tomatoes are used in various ways. History Of Tomato Cultivation. RNA templates were incubated at 65°C for 5 min and placed on ice prior to the addition of a master mix component as indicated by the manufacturer. Only 2,101 contigs were not aligned to the Solanum genomes. These relationships are supported by strong bootstrap values (100%).

Officials from a South African tomato production company, Odger & Belegging Corporation, are in Namibia to investigate possible investment in agricultural value-addition projects. Tomatoes are produced in all South African provinces, but Limpopo province with its warm climate is best suited for production of tomatoes. Macedo et al. Therefore, we suggest the possibility of intraspecific reassortment. Using the reference genome assembler: Bowtie2 version2.3.4 [18], an index reference database was constructed, and the sequence reads that did not align to the reference genome was collected for meta-assembly. No, Is the Subject Area "Farms" applicable to this article? Symptoms including interveinal leaf chlorosis, chlorotic flecking, and leaf bronzing that are typically associated with crinivirus infections were observed on tomato crops growing in fields and greenhouses located on commercial, smallholder, or subsistence farms (Fig 2). The non-enveloped filamentous particles usually have two modal lengths (650–850 and 700–900 nm) and a diameter of 10–13 nm [1]. Some tomato samples that tested positive for ToCV exhibited symptoms atypical to those caused by ToCV and was later found to be coinfected with an array of other viruses including Tomato torrado virus (ToTV), Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), and Potato virus Y (PVY). Accepted 31 August, 2010 The tomato is a very important vegetable crop in South Africa. Whiteflies collected from field and tunnel sites across South Africa indicated the presence of Bemisia and Trialeurodes species from nymph and adult phenotypic analysis. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.g004, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.t004. Almost half (47%) of the tomato samples analyzed in this study tested positive for ToCV infections and the majority of these were collected from symptomatic tomato plants. [2] indicate that the management of ToCV is primarily by chemical and cultural methods. Knowledge of abiotic factors that contribute to pest and disease outbreaks is fundamental to the development of climate models that project the risks associated with epidemics. Two microliters of each ligation reaction were added to TOP10 chemically competent E. coli cells and heat shocked at 42°C for 30 s. Successful transformants were selected (from blue/white colony screening) and cultured using LB (Luria-Bertani) broth in a shaking incubator at 37°C overnight. Only two (D. stramonium and S. nigrum) of the 15 species of weeds collected in this study tested positive for ToCV infection which accounted for approximately 21% (38/182) of the samples analyzed. The relative size and position of each ORF are represented accordingly. While they are produced throughout South Africa, the bulk of production takes place in the Western Cape. Results from the survey indicated that ToCV is presently the only crinivirus species infecting tomatoes in South Africa. In addition, all eight motifs, consistent with findings of Koonin [24] were identified. 0000003328 00000 n

KY471130). Tomato has been consumed since the ancient times. To determine the possibility of infection by all known criniviruses, a multiplex system targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) encoded by the ORF-1b gene was used [15]. Resources, Both whitefly genera are capable of transmitting criniviruses [20]. Altitude is represented by varying intensities of grey that ranges from 0 meters above sea level (least intense shade of grey) to 3383 meters above sea level (most intense shade of grey). Nigeria â Africaâs largest country by economy and population â is sub-Saharan Africaâs biggest producer of tomatoes. Project administration, were primarily identified from basic phenotypic screening [9], however, further molecular assays are required to elucidate the species. Bemisia sp. By about 500 BC, tomato was already being cultivated in southern Mexico and a few other areas. Tomato varieties/cultivars used in South Africa include Florodade, Heinz 1370, Karino, Rodade, Fortress, Hytec, Star 9001, Star 9003, Star 9009, Sundance, Zeal, Baldo, Blockbuster, Disco, P 747, Shirley, HTX 14, Legato, Roma VF, Rossol, Star 9056F, Sun 6216 and UC 82B, Bamby, Josephine, Atletico, Daniella and Gabriella. Most of these symptoms developed in the mid to lower parts of tomato crops, and gradually progressed toward the apex as the plant matured. Interestingly, the RNA-2 segment from South Africa (ToCR2-186; Accession no. Yes A total of 127,654 contigs were generated from the de novo metaSPAdes assembly. endstream

The 59 kDa RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) encoded by ORF-1b (nucleotides 6212–7657) is likely expressed as a result of a +1 ribosomal frameshift at the end of ORF-1a; a common strategy among members of the Closteroviridae family [23]. Subsequently, our findings suggest the likelihood of intraspecific reassortment, based on the inconsistencies associated with the position of the RNA-1 and RNA-2 segments of ToCV isolates from phylogenetic analysis (Figs 5 and 6). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.g003. Phylogenetic analysis of the RNA-1 segment showed that the South African ToCV isolate ToCR1-186 (Accession no. Impact of climate variability on tomato production in Limpopo Province, South Africa M.

However, no conclusive recombinant events were detected following the in-silico analysis of these RNA molecules using recombination detection program (RDP 4) [32]. Tomato Production, Tomato Consumption, Tomato Yield, Tomato Acreage⦠You may also be interested in these Tomato Industry reports, published by private editors UAE Tomato Market - Growth, Trends and Forecast (2020 - 2025) In South Africa, ToCV is a poorly studied pathogen of global economic importance. Kenya is among the Africaâs leading producer of tomato and is ranked 6th in Africa with a total production of KT989862) on D. stramonium [14], was predominant among tomato crops and some arable weed species. Apart from anthropogenic activity and farming practices that directly influence the density and diversity of insect pest populations, climate change variability is an integral element that many farmers and scientists have only recently recognized. Therefore, a national survey was initiated to investigate the occurrence and distribution of criniviruses infecting tomato crops in South Africa. Blast analysis of the RNA-2 segment ToCR2-186 (GenBank accession no. The total South African production areas of avocados, bananas, mangoes, litchis and pineapples during 2005/06 are estimated at approximately 12,000, 11,568, 7,748, 3,000 and 13,581 ha, respectively.

[31] reported the emergence and spread of ToCV by a highly effective Bemisia tabaci (MED, formerly biotype Q) in Europe. Moreover, only weed samples collected from the northern and south-eastern parts of the country tested positive for ToCV; with a higher prevalence in the north (Table 3). In addition, criniviruses that are capable of infecting solanaceous hosts have been grouped accordingly and include ToCV, TICV, BPYV, and PYVV [15]. Limpopo province is the major production area with 3 590 ha (Northern Lowveld at 2 700 ha and far Northern areas of Limpopo at 890 ha). Symptomatic tomato plants typically exhibited interveinal leaf chlorosis, chlorotic flecking and leaf bronzing. S. nigrum and D. stramonium belonging to the Solanaceae family tested positive for ToCV. 0000008160 00000 n
Although recombination events were not detected, phylogenetic studies showed inconsistencies in the grouping of RNA-1 and RNA-2 segments for some of the ToCV isolates analyzed in this study. This also suggests a possible connection between Spanish and some South Korean isolates, specifically JJ. Supervision, Affiliation More importantly, stringent policies on the trade and movement of plant material across borders, together with a strategic management approach can significantly reduce the economic impact of ToCV infections throughout the world. were more predominant throughout the areas surveyed; however, significantly higher populations of Trialeurodes sp. 0000000016 00000 n
Criniviruses accumulate in the phloem tissue and damage crops by reducing chlorophyll which is essential for plant growth and development. The phylogram was constructed using the Maximum likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model and a bootstrap value of 1000 replicates in MEGA 6. ToCV, TICV, BPYV, and PYVV) that are known to infect solanaceous hosts (Table 2) [15], our findings showed that only ToCV was detected in both field and greenhouse cultivated tomato crops and weeds (Table 3). The fruit is rich in lycopene and Vitamin C. Tomatoes are used in various ways. History Of Tomato Cultivation. RNA templates were incubated at 65°C for 5 min and placed on ice prior to the addition of a master mix component as indicated by the manufacturer.

Officials from a South African tomato production company, Odger & Belegging Corporation, are in Namibia to investigate possible investment in agricultural value-addition projects. Tomatoes are produced in all South African provinces, but Limpopo province with its warm climate is best suited for production of tomatoes. Macedo et al. Therefore, we suggest the possibility of intraspecific reassortment. Using the reference genome assembler: Bowtie2 version2.3.4 [18], an index reference database was constructed, and the sequence reads that did not align to the reference genome was collected for meta-assembly. No, Is the Subject Area "Farms" applicable to this article? Symptoms including interveinal leaf chlorosis, chlorotic flecking, and leaf bronzing that are typically associated with crinivirus infections were observed on tomato crops growing in fields and greenhouses located on commercial, smallholder, or subsistence farms (Fig 2). The non-enveloped filamentous particles usually have two modal lengths (650–850 and 700–900 nm) and a diameter of 10–13 nm [1]. Some tomato samples that tested positive for ToCV exhibited symptoms atypical to those caused by ToCV and was later found to be coinfected with an array of other viruses including Tomato torrado virus (ToTV), Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), and Potato virus Y (PVY). Accepted 31 August, 2010 The tomato is a very important vegetable crop in South Africa. Whiteflies collected from field and tunnel sites across South Africa indicated the presence of Bemisia and Trialeurodes species from nymph and adult phenotypic analysis. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.g004, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0220298.t004. Almost half (47%) of the tomato samples analyzed in this study tested positive for ToCV infections and the majority of these were collected from symptomatic tomato plants. [2] indicate that the management of ToCV is primarily by chemical and cultural methods. Knowledge of abiotic factors that contribute to pest and disease outbreaks is fundamental to the development of climate models that project the risks associated with epidemics. Two microliters of each ligation reaction were added to TOP10 chemically competent E. coli cells and heat shocked at 42°C for 30 s. Successful transformants were selected (from blue/white colony screening) and cultured using LB (Luria-Bertani) broth in a shaking incubator at 37°C overnight. Only two (D. stramonium and S. nigrum) of the 15 species of weeds collected in this study tested positive for ToCV infection which accounted for approximately 21% (38/182) of the samples analyzed. The relative size and position of each ORF are represented accordingly. While they are produced throughout South Africa, the bulk of production takes place in the Western Cape. Results from the survey indicated that ToCV is presently the only crinivirus species infecting tomatoes in South Africa. In addition, all eight motifs, consistent with findings of Koonin [24] were identified. 0000003328 00000 n
