Soil Transmission of Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus Associated with Plant Debris

摘要
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus(CGMMV),which belongs to the genus Tobamovirus,is a major pathogen of cucurbits.The typical symptoms of CGMMV disease include mosaic pattern on infected leaves and fruit distortions.It is well known that CGMMV could be transmitted by direct mechanical contact with the infected source plant or other contaminated materials,pruning and irrigation,seed,pollen and phytoparasitic weed dodder.However,soil transmission of CGMMV is still a heated debate and few studies support it.The goal of this study is to provide the evidence for soil transmission of CGMMV by RT-PCR(reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction).The results indicated that tested leaf samples,collected from cucumber plants grown in contaminated soils containing CGMMV-infected cucumber debris,are confirmed CGMMV-positive.Meanwhile,when contaminated soil did not contain CGMMV-infected cucumber debris,tested leaf samples may produce inconclusive or only weakly CGMMV-positive.The study showed that CGMMV can be transmitted by soil containing CGMMV-infected cucumber debris.It is proposed that soil is one of the primary infection sources for spreading of CGMMV.The results have meaningful epidemiological implications for the management of CGMMV disease,particularly regarding the role of soil as CGMMV vector.
