Study of multiplication of cucumber mosaic virus in susceptible and resistant Capsicum annuum lines
Archive ouverte
International audience. A previous survey on pepper lines (Capsicum annuum L.) indicated that a susceptible cultivar, Yolo Wonder, reacted to cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) by producing a systemic yellow mosaic. By contrast, CMV caused no symptoms on lines Perennial and Vania. The virus is recoverable from the uninoculated leaves of Perennial, while in Vania CMV is restricted to the inoculated leaves. To interpret these phenomena, a comparative study on CMV multiplication rates, yield, specific infectivity and relative proportion of RNAs was made in the inoculated leaves of the three pepper varieties. The rate of CMV multiplication, as estimated by the double antibody sandwich form of enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay, was lower in Perennial than in Vania or Yolo Wonder. The yield of virus purified from Perennial was very low when compared with Vania or Yolo Wonder. The specific infectivity of the virus extracted from Perennial was less than that from Vania or Yolo Wonder. These results suggest that Perennial is resistant to CMV multiplication, while restriction of the virus in inoculated leaves of Vania is not due to the inhibition of the virus replication. However, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that the RNA profiles of CMV purified from the three pepper lines were similar.
