摘要

Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) isolates belong to two pathogroups (PG), PG-III and PG-VI, which are distinguished in common bean due to the inability of the PG-III isolates of BCMNV to overcome the two recessive resistance alleles bc-1 and bc-I-2. The biological and molecular basis of this distinction between PG-III and PG-VI isolates of BCMNV is not known. Here, three isolates of BCMNV were typed biologically on a set of 12 bean differentials and molecularly through whole-genome sequencing. Two isolates (1755b and TN1a) were assigned to PG-VI and one isolate (NL8-CA) was assigned to PG-III. Isolate NL8-CA (PG-III) induced only local necrosis on inoculated leaves in 'Top Crop' and 'Jubila' bean harboring the I gene and the bc-1 allele, whereas isolates TN1, TN1a, and 1755b (all PG-VI) induced rapid whole-plant necrosis (WPN) in Top Crop 7 to 14 days postinoculation, and severe systemic necrosis but not WPN in Jubila 3 to 5 weeks postinoculation. In 'Redland Greenleaf C' expressing bc-1 and 'Redland Greenleaf B' expressing bc-1(2) alleles, isolate NL8-CA was able to systemically infect only a small proportion of upper uninoculated leaves (less than 13 and 3%, respectively). The whole genomes of isolates 1755b, TN1a, and NL8-CA were sequenced and sequence analysis revealed that, despite the overall high nucleotide sequence identity between PG-III and PG-VI isolates (approximately 96%), two areas of the BCMNV genome in the P1/HC-Pro and HC-Pro/P3 cistrons appeared to be more divergent between these two pathotypes of BCMNV. The data suggest that the phenotypic differences among PG-III and PG-VI isolates of BCMNV in common bean cultivars from host resistance groups 2, 3, and 9 carrying be-1 alleles were related to the impaired systemic movement of the PG-III isolates to the upper, uninoculated leaves, and also suggest a role of the recessive bc-1 gene in interfering with systemic spread of BCMNV.
