Trentino Alto Adige shown in red.

Vineyards in northwest Italy began noticing symptoms of GPGV in 2003. The first two vineyards affected were Piana Rotaliana and Collio in Trentino Alto Adige. From there the virus spread to vineyards throughout Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia Giulia, then Emilia Romagna and Veneto. The virus was first identified on Pinot gris grapevines, hence the name, but soon spread to other varieties. In 2011, Annalisa Giampetruzzi et al. published an article in the journal Virus Research officially identifying and naming the virus. [1] Giampetruzzi and her colleagues used deep sequencing to find similarities to other viruses, and found stretches of viral RNA genome that corresponded to sequences found in the RNA genomes of both Grapevine Berry Inner Necrosis Virus (GINV) and Grapevine Rupestris Stem Pitting-associated Virus (GRSPaV). Smaller percentages of other viral genomes were also found. Because its complete genomic sequence could not be found in the NCBI Reference Sequence Database, the genome was considered completely novel, and the virus officially named Grapevine Pinot gris virus. The virus was recognized by the National Plant Protection Agency of Italy in February 2014, [2] and ProMEDMail published the first account of its existence. After its arrival to different areas of Italy, the virus was found to be spreading across Europe, being found in Czechia and Slovakia in December 2014. [3] In November 2015, the virus was identified in California, [4] and in April 2016 it was found in Chinese vineyards in the Liaoning, Beijing, and Zhejiang provinces. [5] The most recent outbreak of the virus occurred in Australia in August 2017. [6]

Classification

GPGV is a positive single-stranded RNA virus, [1] meaning that the genome of the virus is made up of RNA nucleotides. While Giampetruzzi and her colleagues found the genome to have similarities to the marafiviruses Grapevine Syrah virus-1 and Grapevine Rupestris vein feathering virus, it was found to be more similar to the Trichovirus genus. Besides GINV, other Trichoviruses include Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus, Apricot pseudo-chlorotic leaf spot virus, Cherry mottle leaf virus, and peach mosaic virus. [7]

Genome structure

Giampetruzzi et al. originally reported a complete consensus sequence of 7258 nucleotides (excluding the polyA tail), which makes up three overlapping reading frames (ORFs). Each ORF's length in base pairs, weight in kilodaltons, and the proteins/enzymes for which it codes are in the table below. The sequence then proceeds with an untranslated region of 82 base pairs and terminates in the polyA tail that is typical of viral genomes.

Symptoms

Symptoms are most identifiable in the spring, when new shoots and leaves are beginning to grow. [6] Symptoms of GPGV include chlorotic mottling of the leaves, leaf deformation, stunted growth, low quality fruit, abnormal branching, and reduced yield. [8] The most common symptoms are the mottling and deformation of the leaves. [9] Other symptoms that have been noted are bud bursting delays, shortened internodes, and more acidic berries. It is also important to note that symptoms might not even be evident in infected plants. [6]

Replication cycle

The replication cycle of this virus is not currently known. Possible reservoirs may include insects, mites, or nematodes. Based on the more-recent discovery of the virus, not much research has been done on this aspect.

Spread of the virus

It is commonly accepted that this virus is spread by infected propagation machinery, materials, and tools, and possibly by the trading of propagated stems between vineyards. [8]

<i>Tobacco ringspot virus</i> Species of virus

Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) is a plant pathogenic virus in the plant virus family Secoviridae. It is the type species of the genus Nepovirus. Nepoviruses are transmitted between plants by nematodes, thrips, mites, grasshoppers, and flea beetles. TRSV is also easily transmitted by sap inoculation and transmission in seeds has been reported. In recent cases it has also been shown to appear in bees, but no transmission to plants from bees has been noted.

<i>Soybean mosaic virus</i> Plant disease

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is a member of the plant virus genus Potyvirus. It infects mainly plants belonging to the family Fabaceae but has also been found infecting other economically important crops. SMV is the cause of soybean mosaic disease that occurs in all the soybean productions areas of the world. Soybean is one of the most important sources of edible oil and proteins and pathogenic infections are responsible for annual yield losses of about $4 billion in the United States. Among these pathogens, SMV is the most important and prevalent viral pathogen in soybean production worldwide. It causes yield reductions of about 8% to 35% but losses as high as 94% have been reported.

Strawberry crinkle cytorhabdovirus, commonly called Strawberry crinkle virus (SCV), is a negative sense single stranded RNA virus that threatens strawberry production worldwide. This virus reduces plant rigidity, runner production, fruit size, and production, while causing distortion and crinkling of the leaves. This virus was first described in 1932 in Oregon and California with commercial strawberry varieties, and later became an issue around the world, including North America, South America, Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. Of the family Rhabdoviridae, it is a large family of viruses that affects plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates. Specifically, this virus infects strawberry plants of the genus Fragaria and is transmitted through two aphid vectors that feed on strawberries, Chaetosiphon fragaefolii and C. jacobi. When SCV is combined with other aphid-transmitted strawberry viruses, such as mottle, mild yellow-edge, vein banding, or pallidosis, the damage becomes even more deleterious. Economically, the only significant host of SCV is Fragaria ananassa.

Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) also known as Marrow mosaic virus, Melon mosaic virus, and until recently Watermelon mosaic virus type 2 (WMV-2), is a plant pathogenic virus that causes viral infection in many different plants. The virus itself is referred to as Watermelon Mosaic Virus II or WMV-2 and is an isolate of the U.S. WMV-2 is a ssRNA positive strand virus that is part of the Potyviridae or Potyvirus clade. Like all RNA viruses, it contains a protein capsid which protects the inner viral RNA. First described on squash in Florida, WMV arose from a unique recombination of genetic material contributed by Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) along with Peanut Stripe virus (PSV).

Orchid fleck dichorhavirus, commonly called Orchid fleck virus (OFV), is a non-enveloped, segmented, single-stranded (ss) RNA negative-strand virus, transmitted by the false spider mite, Brevipalpus californicus. OFV causes necrotic and chlorotic lesions on the leaves of many genera in the family Orchidaceae.

Grapevine virus A (GVA) is a moderately common genetic virus that affects Vitis vinifera and American Vitis grapevine species throughout the world and can be fatal if not treated. Grapevine virus A is in the family Betaflexiviridae and genus Vitivirus. The common name for this virus is grapevine closterovirus. Common symptoms in infected grapevines include stem pitting. Although there is a treatment available to cure infected grapevines, it is not one hundred percent effective, so preventative measures are the best solution to the virus. Every inhabited continent on the globe has had breakouts of grapevine closterovirus due to the complex genetic makeup of the virus. Grapevine virus A has a single-stranded RNA genome, which is similar to that of Grapevine virus B. There are multiple strains of the virus that vary both molecularly and biologically which account for the slightly different symptoms exhibited by infected plants.

Soybean vein necrosis orthotospovirus is a plant pathogenic virus of soybeans. SVNV is a relatively new virus, which was discovered in Tennessee in 2008 and has recently been found in many US states from the Southeast and East coast to some western states including CA. This pathogen initially causes intraveinal chlorosis (yellowing) in leaves. This chlorosis then spreads throughout the leaf and eventually these chlorotic areas can become necrotic. It is a member of the order Bunyavirales, family Tospoviridae and genus Orthotospovirus, which is the only genus within this virus family that infects plants. Like other members of Bunyavirales, this virus is enveloped and has a negative sense single-stranded RNA (−ssRNA) genome composed of three genomic segments. It encodes proteins on the M and S segments in an ambisense manner.

Cocoa necrosis virus (CoNV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the genus nepovirus that infects Theobroma cacao en natura causing cacao necrosis disease. CoNV is considered synonymous with Strain S of cacao swollen shoot virus. Unlike Cacao swollen shoot virus, it is not transmitted by mealybugs nor vectored by aphids, beetles, or leafhoppers that also commonly infest cacao. It is serologically, distantly related to Tomato black ring virus and very distantly related to Grapevine chrome mosaic virus.

Grapevine red blotch disease (GRBD), also known simply as red blotch, is a viral disease of grapevine. The disease is caused by a single-stranded circular DNA virus, the species grapevine red blotch virus, also known as grapevine red blotch-associated virus, GRBaV. First identified in California, the disease affects grapevines of all varieties and is internationally present. Symptoms typically include red blotches on the leaves of red varieties and in pale green or pale yellow blotches on white varieties. It significantly reduces the value of juice collected from the berries of affected vines, costing vineyard owners as much as $65,000 per acre.

The cardamom mosaic virus (CdMV) is a mosaic virus that affects the production of green cardamom (E. cardamomum). It is a member of the genus Macluravirus (recognized under the family Potyviridae by ICTV in 1988), and is transmitted through aphids (P.caladii) and infected rhizomes, the former in a non-persistent manner.

<i>Blueberry mosaic associated ophiovirus</i> Species of virus

The Blueberry mosaic associated ophiovirus (B1MaV) is a plant virus which infects blueberry plants, causing a discoloration of the leaves of the plants in a mosaic-like pattern. The disease is found in blueberry plants in many regions of North America, as well as South America, Europe, New Zealand, and South Africa. Within these regions the virus is most often found in high blueberry-yielding areas, but can be spread to other locations. Blueberry mosaic associatedophiovirus is one of seven species in the genus Ophiovirus. It is a member of the Aspiviridae family, in the Serpentovirales order, and in the Milnevircetes class. The Ophioviridae viruses are characterized by a flexible and elongated nucleocapsid that is composed mostly of filamentous structures and is helically symmetrical. It also has a non-enveloped protein capsid that is capable of coiling around itself allowing for a super-coiled structure and the helical symmetry. The virus has the potential to be symptomatic or asymptomatic within plants causing the display of symptoms in only a few plants, but the ability to transmit the virus unknowingly in many plants. B1MaV often remains asymptomatic for long periods of time after initial infection allowing for blind transmission.
