Item World management of geminiviruses(Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2018) Rojas, Maria R.; Macedo, Monica A.; Maliano, Minor R.; Soto-Aguilar, Maria; Souza, Juliana O.; Briddon, Rob W.; Kenyon, Lawrence; Bustamante, Rafael F. Rivera; Zerbini, F. Murilo; Adkins, Scott; Legg, James P.; Kvarnheden, Anders; Wintermantel, William M.; Sudarshana, Mysore R.; Peterschmitt, Michel; Lapidot, Moshe; Martin, Darren P.; et al.Management of geminiviruses is a worldwide challenge because of the widespread distribution of economically important diseases caused by these viruses. Regardless of the type of agriculture, management is most effective with an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that involves measures before, during, and after the growing season. This includes starting with resistant cultivars and virus- and vector-free transplants and ropagative plants. For high value vegetables, protected culture (e.g., greenhouses and screenhouses) allows for effective management but is limited owing to high cost. Protection of young plants in open fields is provided by row covers, but other measures are typically required. Measures that are used for crops in open fields include roguing infected plants and insect vector management. Application of insecticide to manage vectors (whiteflies and leafhoppers) is the most widely used measure but can cause undesirable environmental and human health issues. For annual crops, these measures can be more effective when combined with host-free periods of two to three months. Finally, given the great diversity of the viruses, their insect vectors, and the crops affected, IPM approaches need to be based on the biology and ecology of the virus and vector and the crop production system. Here, we present the general measures that can be used in an IPM program for geminivirus diseases, specific case studies, and future challenges.Item Strengthening the interaction of the virology community with the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by linking virus names and their abbreviations to virus species(Systematic Biology, 2019) Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; Calisher, Charles H.; Briese, Thomas; Brister, J. Rodney; Charrel, Rémi N.; Dürrwald, Ralf; Ebihara, Hideki; Fulhorst, Charles F.; Gāo, George Fú; Groschup, Martin H.; Haddow, Andrew D.; Hyndman, Timothy H.; Junglen, Sandra; Klempa, Boris; Klingström, Jonas; Kropinski, Andrew M.; Krupovic, Mart; et al.The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is tasked with classifying viruses into taxa (phyla to species) and devising taxon names. Virus names and virus name abbreviations are currently not within the ICTV’s official remit and are not regulated by an official entity. Many scientists, medical/veterinary professionals, and regulatory agencies do not address evolutionary questions nor are they concerned with the hierarchical organization of the viral world, and therefore, have limited use for ICTV-devised taxa. Instead, these professionals look to the ICTV as an expert point source that provides the most current taxonomic affiliations of viruses of interests to facilitate document writing. These needs are currently unmet as an ICTV-supported, easily searchable database that includes all published virus names and abbreviations linked to their taxa is not available. In addition, in stark contrast to other biological taxonomic frameworks, virus taxonomy currently permits individual species to have several members. Consequently, confusion emerges among those who are not aware of the difference between taxa and viruses, and because certain well-known viruses cannot be located in ICTV publications or be linked to their species. In addition, the number of duplicate names and abbreviations has increased dramatically in the literature. To solve this conundrum, the ICTV could mandate listing all viruses of established species and all reported unclassified viruses in forthcoming online ICTV Reports and create a searchable webpage using this information. The International Union of Microbiology Societies could also consider changing the mandate of the ICTV to include the nomenclature of all viruses in addition to taxon considerations. With such a mandate expansion, official virus names and virus name abbreviations could be catalogued and virus nomenclature could be standardized. As a result, the ICTV would become an even more useful resource for all stakeholders in virology.Item Meta-analytic modeling of the decline in performance of fungicides for managing soybean rust after a decade of use in Brazil(Plant Disease, 2018-04) Ponte, Emerson M. Del; Lana, Felipe Dalla; Paul, Pierce A.; Godoy, Claudia V.; Utiamada, Carlos M.; Silva, Luís Henrique C. P. da; Siqueri, Fabiano V.; Forcelini, Carlos A.; Jaccoud-Filho, David de Souza; Miguel-Wruck, Dulândula S.; Borges, Edson P.; Juliatti, Fernando C.; Campos, Hercules D.; Nunes Jr., José; Carneiro, Luciana C.; Canteri, Marcelo G.; Meyer, Maurı́cio C.; et al.An apparent decline of fungicide performance for the control of soybean rust in Brazil has been reported but the rate at which it has occurred has not been formally quantified. Control efficacy and yield response to three fungicides applied as single active ingredients (a.i.)—azoxystrobin (AZOX), cyproconazole (CYPR), and tebuconazole (TEBU)—and four applied as mixtures—AZOX+CYPR, picoxystrobin + CYPR, pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole, and trifloxystrobin + prothioconazole (TRIF+PROT)—were summarized using network meta-analytic models fitted to mean severity and yield data from 250 trials (10-year period). The effect of year was tested on both variables in a meta-regression model. Overall control efficacy ranged from 56 to 84%; the three single-a.i. fungicides performed the poorest (56 to 62%). Yield increase for single-a.i. fungicides was as low as 30% but ranged from 47 to 65% for the premixes. Significant declines in both variables were detected for all fungicides except TRIF+PROT. For TEBU, control efficacy (yield response) declined the most: 78% (18%) to 54% (8%) from 2004–05 to 2013–14. The recent surge of resistant populations of Phakopsora pachyrhizi to both demethylation inhibitor and quinone outside inhibitor fungicides is likely the driving force behind a significant decline after 4 years of fungicide use.Item Changes to taxonomy and the International Code of Virus Classification and Nomenclature ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2018)(Archives of Virology, 2018-05-12) Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; King, Andrew M. Q.; Lefkowitz, Elliot J.; Mushegian, Arcady R.; Adams, Michael J.; Dutilh, Bas E.; Gorbalenya, Alexander E.; Harrach, Balázs; Harrison, Robert L.; Junglen, Sandra; Knowles, Nick J.; Kropinski, Andrew M.; Krupovic, Mart; Kuhn, Jens H.; Nibert, Max L.; Sabanadzovic, Sead; Rubino, Luisa; et al.This article lists the changes to virus taxonomy approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses in February 2018. A total of 451 species, 69 genera, 11 subfamilies, 9 families and one new order were added to the taxonomy. The current totals at each taxonomic level now stand at 9 orders, 131 families, 46 subfamilies, 803 genera and 4853 species. A change was made to the International Code of Virus Classification and Nomenclature to allow the use of the names of people in taxon names under appropriate circumstances. An updated Master Species List incorporating the approved changes was released in March 2018Item The faces of fungi database: fungal names linked with morphology, phylogeny and human impacts(Fungal Diversity, 2015-11-03) Pereira, Olinto L.; Jayasiri, Subashini C.; Hyde, Kevin D.; Ariyawansa, Hiran A.; Bhat, Jayarama; Buyck, Bart; Cai, Lei; Dai, Yu-Cheng; Abd-Elsalam, Kamel A.; Ertz, Damien; Hidayat, Iman; Jeewon, Rajesh; Jones, E. B. Gareth; Bahkali, Ali H.; Karunarathna, Samantha C.; Liu, Jian-Kui; Luangsa-ard, J. Jennifer; et al.Taxonomic names are key links between various databases that store information on different organisms. Several global fungal nomenclural and taxonomic databases (notably Index Fungorum, Species Fungorum and MycoBank) can be sourced to find taxonomic details about fungi, while DNA sequence data can be sourced from NCBI, EBI and UNITE databases. Although the sequence data may be linked to a name, the quality of the metadata is variable and generally there is no corresponding link to images, descriptions or herbarium material. There is generally no way to establish the accuracy of the names in these genomic databases, other than whether the submission is from a reputable source. To tackle this problem, a new database (FacesofFungi), accessible at www.facesoffungi.org (FoF) has been established. This fungal database allows deposition of taxonomic data, phenotypic details and other useful data, which will enhance our current taxonomic understanding and ultimately enable mycologists to gain better and updated insights into the current fungal classification system. In addition, the database will also allow access to comprehensive metadata including descriptions of voucher and type specimens. This database is user-friendly, providing links and easy access between taxonomic ranks, with the classification system based primarily on molecular data (from the literature and via updated web-based phylogenetic trees), and to a lesser extent on morphological data when molecular data are unavailable. In FoF species are not only linked to the closest phylogenetic representatives, but also relevant data is provided, wherever available, on various applied aspects, such as ecological, industrial, quarantine and chemical uses. The data include the three main fungal groups (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Basal fungi) and fungus-like organisms. The FoF webpage is an output funded by the Mushroom Research Foundation which is an NGO with seven directors with mycological expertise. The webpage has 76 curators, and with the help of these specialists, FoF will provide an updated natural classification of the fungi, with illustrated accounts of species linked to molecular data. The present paper introduces the FoF database to the scientific community and briefly reviews some of the problems associated with classification and identification of the main fungal groups. The structure and use of the database is then explained. We would like to invite all mycologists to contribute to these web pages.Item Improving ITS sequence data for identification of plant pathogenic fungi(Fungal Diversity, 2014-05-15) Pereira, Olinto Liparini; Pinho, Danilo Batista; Nilsson, R. Henrik; Hyde, Kevin D.; Pawłowska, Julia; Ryberg, Martin; Tedersoo, Leho; Aas, Anders Bjørnsgard; Alias, Siti A.; Alves, Artur; Anderson, Cajsa Lisa; Antonelli, Alexandre; Arnold, A. Elizabeth; Bahnmann, Barbara; Bahram, Mohammad; Bengtsson-Palme, Johan; Berlin, Anna; et al.Plant pathogenic fungi are a large and diverse assemblage of eukaryotes with substantial impacts on natural ecosystems and human endeavours. These taxa often have complex and poorly understood life cycles, lack observable, discriminatory morphological characters, and may not be amenable to in vitro culturing. As a result, species identification is frequently difficult. Molecular (DNA sequence) data have emerged as crucial information for the taxonomic identification of plant pathogenic fungi, with the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region being the most popular marker. However, international nucleotide sequence databases are accumulating numerous sequences of compromised or low-resolution taxonomic annotations and substandard technical quality, making their use in the molecular identification of plant pathogenic fungi problematic. Here we report on a concerted effort to identify high-quality reference sequences for various plant pathogenic fungi and to re-annotate incorrectly or insufficiently annotated public ITS sequences from these fungal lineages. A third objective was to enrich the sequences with geographical and ecological metadata. The results – a total of 31,954 changes – are incorporated in and made available through the UNITE database for molecular identification of fungi (http://unite.ut.ee), including standalone FASTA files of sequence data for local BLAST searches, use in the next-generation sequencing analysis platforms QIIME and mothur, and related applications. The present initiative is just a beginning to cover the wide spectrum of plant pathogenic fungi, and we invite all researchers with pertinent expertise to join the annotation effort.Item Ratification vote on taxonomic proposals to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2016)(Archives of Virology, 2016-07-16) Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; Adams, Michael J.; Lefkowitz, Elliot J.; King, Andrew M. Q.; Harrach, Balázs; Harrison, Robert L.; Knowles, Nick J.; Kropinski, Andrew M.; Krupovic, Mart; Kuhn, Jens H.; Mushegian, Arcady R.; Nibert, Max; Sabanadzovic, Sead; Sanfaçon, Hélène; Siddell, Stuart G.; Simmonds, Peter; Varsani, Arvind; et al.This article lists the changes to virus taxonomy approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in April 2016.Changes to virus taxonomy (the Universal Scheme of Virus Classification of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses [ICTV]) now take place annually and are the result of a multi-stage process. In accordance with the ICTV Statutes (http://www.ictvonline.org/statutes.asp), proposals submitted to the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) undergo a review process that involves input from the ICTV Study Groups (SGs) and Subcommittees (SCs), other interested virologists, and the EC. After final approval by the EC, proposals are then presented for ratification to the full ICTV membership by publication on an ICTV web site (http://www.ictvonline.org/) followed by an electronic vote. The latest set of proposals approved by the EC was made available on the ICTV website by January 2016 (https://talk.ictvonline.org/files/proposals/). A list of these proposals was then emailed on 28 March 2016 to the 148 members of ICTV, namely the EC Members, Life Members, ICTV Subcommittee Members (including the SG chairs) and ICTV National Representatives. Members were then requested to vote on whether to ratify the taxonomic proposals (voting closed on 29 April 2016).Item Possibility and challenges of conversion of current virus species names to linnaean binomials(Systematic Biology, 2017-05-01) Murilo Zerbini, F.; Postler, Thomas S.; Clawson, Anna N.; Marasinghe, G Aya K. A; Asler, C Hristopher F. B; Avari, Sbina B; Enkő, Mária B; Lasdell, Kim R. B; Briese, Thomas; Buchmeier, Michael J.; Bukreyev, Alexander; Calisher, Charles H.; Chandran, Kartik; Charrel, Rémi; Clegg, Christopher S.; Collins, Peter L.; Torre, Juan Carlos de la; et al.Botanical, mycological, zoological, and prokaryotic species names follow the Linnaean format, consisting of an italicized Latinized binomen with a capitalized genus name and a lower case species epithet (e.g., Homo sapiens). Virus species names, however, do not follow a uniform format, and, even when binomial, are not Linnaean in style. In this thought exercise, we attempted to convert all currently official names of species included in the virus family Arenaviridae and the virus order Mononegavirales to Linnaean binomials, and to identify and address associated challenges and concerns. Surprisingly, this endeavor was not as complicated or time-consuming as even the authors of this article expected when conceiving the experiment.Item Changes to taxonomy and the International code of virus classification and nomenclature ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2017)(Archives of Virology, 2017-04-22) Zerbini, Francisco Murilo; Adams, Michael J.; Lefkowitz, Elliot J.; King, Andrew M. Q.; Harrach, Balázs; Harrison, Robert L.; Knowles, Nick J.; Kropinski, Andrew M.; Krupovic, Mart; Kuhn, Jens H.; Mushegian, Arcady R.; Nibert, Max; Sabanadzovic, Sead; Sanfaçon, Hélène; Siddell, Stuart G.; Simmonds, Peter; Varsani, Arvind; et al.This article lists the changes to virus taxonomy approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in March 2017.Item A pigeonpea gene confers resistance to Asian soybean rust in soybean(Nature Biotechnology, 2016-04-25) Kawashima, Cintia G; Guimarães, Gustavo Augusto; Nogueira, Sônia Regina; MacLean, Dan; Cook, Doug R; Steuernagel, Burkhard; Baek, Jongmin; Bouyioukos, Costas; Melo, Bernardo do V. A.; Tristão, Gustavo; Oliveira, Jamile Camargos de; Brommonschenkel, Sérgio H; Rauscher, Gilda; Mittal, Shipra; Panichelli, Lisa; Bacot, Karen; Johnson, Ebony; et al.Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is one of the most economically important crop diseases, but is only treatable with fungicides, which are becoming less effective owing to the emergence of fungicide resistance. There are no commercial soybean cultivars with durable resistance to P. pachyrhizi, and although soybean resistance loci have been mapped, no resistance genes have been cloned. We report the cloning of a P. pachyrhizi resistance gene CcRpp1 (Cajanus cajan Resistance against Phakopsora pachyrhizi 1) from pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) and show that CcRpp1 confers full resistance to P. pachyrhizi in soybean. Our findings show that legume species related to soybean such as pigeonpea, cowpea, common bean and others could provide a valuable and diverse pool of resistance traits for crop improvement.
