Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) is an important plant virus that can cause severe disease in various ornamental and agricultural crops. Several species of thrips transmit INSV, of which the western flower thrip (Frankliniella occidentalis) is the most important. In this study, primers and TaqMan probes based on INSV non-structural protein gene sequences were designed, and a technique was developed for detecting INSV using fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR. The reproducibility, specificity and sensitivity for the RT-PCR were evaluated; and the RT-PCR method was developed to detect INSV in the host plants and western flower thrips. A standard curve constructed by a series of diluted plasmid DNA gave a good linear relationship between Ct value and concentration of plasmid DNA, a low coefficient of variation and good reproducibility. The detection method not only measured quantitatively the concentration of INSV in plant hosts and western flower thrips, but also measured accurately low concentrations of the virus. The measurable concentration fell to as low as 100 copies/␮l, while RT-PCR could detect only 102 copies/␮l. The method had high specificity and could distinguish INSV from Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV), both from the same genus of viruses. This is the first report of the same method being used to detect INSV in both plant hosts and western flower thrips, and should be helpful in studies of INSV epidemiology. © 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction

21

Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV), a member of the Tospovirus genus in the virus family Bunyaviridae, is spherical membranebound virus with a diameter of 80–120 nm. The genome consists of three single strands of L, M and S RNA. L RNA has negative polarity, but M RNA and S RNA are ambisense (Law et al., 1992; van Poelwijk et al., 1997). S RNA in viral sense encodes a non-structural protein (NSs) but encodes the nucleocapsid protein in viral complementary sense (de Haan et al., 1992). It can infect 648 species from 50 families (Wang and Guo, 2004), which includes 39 genera of ornamental plants and six genera of vegetables (Jones, 2005; OEPP/EPPO, 1999). INSV was first isolated and identified from infected Impatiens balsamina (de Avila et al., 1992; Vaira et al., 1993), but has now been found in many countries (Pappu et al., 2009). The host range of INSV is ranked second, after TSWV (Jones, 2005) in the Tospovirus

genus. INSV is spread mainly by three thrips: the most important is the western flower thrip (Frankliniella occidentalis; Deangelis et al., 1993, 1994; Wijkamp and Peters, 1993) and includes F. intonsa (Sakurai et al., 2004) and F. fusca (Naidu et al., 2001). INSV has caused severe losses of ornamental and agricultural crops in Europe and the USA (Daughtrey et al., 1997; Vicchi et al., 1999). In 1999, the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) listed INSV in the A2 list of Quarantine Pests (OEPP/EPPO, 1999). Serological and molecular methods have been used widely for detection of INSV in plant tissues (Adam et al., 1993; Blockley and Mumford, 2001; Mumford et al., 1996; Okuda and Hanada, 2001; Roggero et al., 1996; Zhang et al., 2008, 2009). Other methods, such as host range (Wang and Guo, 2004) and electron microscopy (Daughtrey et al., 1997) have also been utilized. However, it is much harder to detect INSV in thrips, and ELISA is the only reported appropriate method (Deangelis et al., 1994; Sakurai et al., 2004). In general, all above methods have some disadvantages. For example, electron microscopy takes considerable time and ELISA can produce false positives results. In addition, these methods only detect the virus qualitatively not quantitatively. The real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR technology is simple, fast, specific and sensitive, and can be used on a large scale.

However, there is no report of the use of this method for quantitative detection of INSV. The method developed in the present study was based on a technique designed by Roberts et al. (2000), who applied TaqMan real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR for the detection of TSWV in plant hosts. The method not only detected INSV content rapidly and effectively in the plant host, but also detected low copy number of INSV in thrips. Therefore, this method is suited to study INSV epidemiology and can provide a reliable detection technology for quarantine organizations to prevent the wider spread of INSV.

2. Materials and methods

68

2.1. Virus isolates

69

This research utilized three species from the Tospovirus genus: INSV, Tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Three isolates of INSV were used. Isolate INSVPA-CG-1 from Phalaenopsis amabilis was collected from Chenggong County of Kunming and was supplied as fresh leaves. Isolate INSVPA-CG-2 from P. amabilis was also collected from Chenggong County, but was maintained on Emilia sonchifolia. Isolate INSVHL-YA-9 from Hymenocallis littoralis Salisb. was collected from Yun-An Conference Center of Kunming and was maintained on E. sonchifolia. Isolate TZSVIC-YAU-1 from Iris tectorum was collected from Yunnan Agricultural University in Kunming and was maintained on E. sonchifolia. Finally, isolate TSWVLS-CG-1 from Lactuca sativa was collected from Chenggong County and was maintained on E. sonchifolia. A mixed infection sample of LS-TSWV and INSV-1 – infected by both TSWV and INSV – was maintained on E. sonchifolia. All plants were kept in an insect-proof greenhouse.

2.2. Thrips infected by INSV

86

97

Western flower thrips used in this study were collected from China rose (Rosa chinensis) grown in a greenhouse in Chenggong County. They were fed with fresh pods of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in a plastic container in an incubator maintained at approximately 25 ◦ C under a 16-h photoperiod. After 5–6 generations were grown in the above conditions, first instar larvae were placed onto infected E. sonchifolia leaves with systemic symptoms induced by isolate INSVHL-YA-9 for a 24-h acquisition access period. Then the infected thrips were transferred to plastic containers with fresh pods of common bean. The second instar larvae, pupae and adults of thrips were used for TaqMan quantitative fluorescent detection.

98

2.3. Primers and TaqMan probe design

99

NSs gene sequences of seven INSV isolates and six other species of Tospovirus were used to find the conservative and variable regions by alignment with DNAman software. Based on this INSV variable region, software Primer Premier 5.0 (http://www.premierbiosoft.com) was used to design the primers Y-F and Y-R, INSV-F and INSV-R. Then online software Primer 3.0 (http://www.frodo.wi.mit.edu/) was used to design a TaqMan probe between INSV-F and INSV-R. The fragment size amplified by Y-F and Y-R primers is 353 bp, while 182 bp is amplified by INSVF and INSV-R primers. The 5 end was FAM-labeled and 3 end TAMRA-labeled. The primers were synthesized by Biomed (Beijing, China) and probe synthesized by Takara (Dalian, China). All primers and probe are listed in Table 1. All NSs gene sequences used in the study were from GenBank: seven INSV isolates (Accession Nos. NC 003624, GU112504, EU095193, GQ336989, DQ425096, X66972 and AB109100), TZSV (NC 010489), Capsicum chlorosis

2.4. RNA extraction

118

2.4.1. Total RNA extraction from plant tissue RNA was extracted from 100 mg of fresh leaf material using Universal Plant Total RNA Extraction Kit (spin-column) from Bioteke (Beijing, China) following the protocol provided by the manufacturer.

119

2.4.2. Total RNA extraction from thrips RNA extracted from thrip material was used and treated mainly as described by Boonham et al. (2002) with minor changes. Five thrips were rinsed with DEPC-treated water and ground in a 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube with 50 ␮l of extraction buffer: 200 mM Tris–HCL (pH 8.5), 250 mM NaCl, 25 mM EDTA and 0.5% (w/v) SDS. After the thrips were thoroughly ground, 25 ␮l of 3 M sodium acetate (pH 5.2) was added. Tubes were incubated at −20 ◦ C for 10 min, and centrifuged at 13,000 × g at 4 ◦ C for 5 min. The pellet was discarded and one volume of isopropanol (−20 ◦ C) was added and mixed thoroughly. After incubating the tube at room temperature for 30 min, it was centrifuged at 13,000 × g at 4 ◦ C for 30 min. The pellet was washed with 70% ethanol and centrifuged at 13,000 × g at room temperature for 1 min. The process starting with 70% ethanol washing was repeated three times. The pellet was dried, suspended with 10 ␮l of DEPC-treated water and used for reaction immediately or stored at −80 ◦ C.

2.5. RT-PCR amplification, cloning and sequence analysis

141

RT-PCR in the study was performed in 0.2-ml tubes in a Biometra Tprofessional Standard Gradient Thermocycler (Germany) using the Superscript Two-step RT-PCR system (Takara, Dalian, China). RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA in a 0.2-ml centrifuge tube and cDNA was synthesized in a reaction volume of 20 ␮l. A solution was prepared: 3.5 ␮l of DEPC-treated water, 6.0 ␮l of 5 × M-MLV buffer (Takara, Dalian, China), 2.0 ␮l of 10 mM dNTP mixture (Takara, Dalian, China), 2.0 ␮l of 50 ␮M random hexamers [pd(N)6] (Qiagen, Germany), 1.0 ␮l of 40 U/␮l RNase inhibitor (Takara, Dalian, China), 0.5 ␮l of 200 U/␮l M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Takara, Dalian, China) and 5.0 ␮l of RNA. The solution was mixed well and put on ice for 9 min, and then the reaction was started. The RT protocol was 42 ◦ C for 30 min, 99 ◦ C for 5 min, 5 ◦ C for 5 min and finally kept at 4 ◦ C. Synthesized cDNA was stored at −20 ◦ C. Reaction solution of PCR assays consisted of 0.25 ␮l of Takara Ex Taq (5 U/␮l), 5 ␮l of 10× Ex Taq buffer, 4 ␮l of dNTP mixture (2.5 mM), 2 ␮l of template cDNA, 2 ␮l of primer Y-F (20 ␮M), 2 ␮l of primer Y-R (20 ␮M) and sterile water added to 50 ␮l. The reaction sequence is listed: 94 ◦ C pre-denaturing for 5 min, 94 ◦ C denaturing for 30 s, 58 ◦ C annealing for 30 s, 72 ◦ C extension for 1 min with 35 cycles, and final extension for 10 min at 72 ◦ C. PCR products (5 ␮l) were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and purified based on the Bioteke protocol. The purified PCR products were ligated into

2.6. Plasmid standard

172

The recombinant plasmid was purified using the following Bioteke Plasmid Extraction Kits protocol according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Bioteke), and concentration and purity of plasmid DNA was measured by GeneQuant Ultrospc6300 Pro (England). Cycle thresholds (Ct) for a tenfold dilution series of plasmid DNA were plotted to yield a standard curve for each experiment.

2.7. Real-time PCR assay IQTM

197

The real-time PCR was carried out in an iCycler Realtime Detection System (BioRad), and the Premix Ex TaqTM protocol (Takara) was used throughout as 25-␮l reactions with minor changes. The reactions contained 12.5 ␮l of Premix Ex TaqTM (2×), 0.5 ␮l of 10 ␮M INSV-F, 0.5 ␮l of 10 ␮M INSV-R, 0.25 ␮l of 100 nM TaqMan probe INSV-P, 9.25 ␮l of sterilized deionized water and 2 ␮l of cDNA. All solutions were made on ice. The reaction conditions were: 94 ◦ C pre-denaturing for 5 min, and 40 cycles of 94 ◦ C for 1 min, 60 ◦ C for 30 s and 60 ◦ C for 15 s. Real-time assays were analyzed using the iCycler iQ version 3.1 system software (BioRad). The Ct is the cycle at which a significant increase in fluorescence occurs, hence, Ct < 40 indicates a positive result. For generation of standard quantitation curves, the Ct values were plotted proportionally to the logarithm of the input copy numbers. The coefficients of variation (CV) were calculated by dividing the standard error by the mean Ct value for two replicates of each sample from three separate experiments to evaluate reproducibility. A smaller CV indicates better reproducibility. No-template control and healthy plants were also used as checks.

3. Results

199

3.1. Analysis on standard curve and reproducibility

200

The extracted recombinant plasmid carrying the 353-bp NSs gene of INSV, which included the real-time PCR 182-bp target sequence, was detected on an OD260/OD280 ratio of 1.850 by spectrophotometer, and had a concentration of 2.10 × 108 copies/␮l. The recombinant plasmid was diluted in a tenfold series with the least concentration of 104 copies/␮l using sterile deionized water, and the resulting Ct values were plotted to create a standard curve (Fig. 1). Each concentration was tested twice and Ct values had a very good linear relationship with log values of initial template concentration (R2 = 0.998). Furthermore, two Ct values for each concentration had good reproducibility and its CV was in the range of 0.10–2.41%. The greatest variation was typically for the 105 -copy dilution in three separate experiments (Table 2).

3.2. Specificity analysis

213

Five samples (INSVPA-CG-2 , LS-TSWV & INSV-1, thrips infected by INSV, TZSVIC-YAU-1 and TSWVLS-CG-1 ) were used for TaqMan Real-time PCR testing. Only INSVPA-CG-2 , LS-TSWV and INSV-1, and INSV-infected thrip samples showed fluorescent signals; and TZSVIC-YAU-1 , TSWVLS-CG-1 , healthy plants and water checks showed no fluorescence (Fig. 2). Agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed the results (data not shown). The above results indicated clearly that the method detected effectively INSV.

214

3.3. Sensitivity analysis

222

The sensitivity between the TaqMan fluorescent quantitative method and regular RT-PCR method was tested using diluted recombinant plasmid from 108 to 100 copies/␮l. The lowest concentration detected by the TaqMan fluorescent method was 2.10 × 100 copies/␮l, while regular RT-PCR could only detect 2.10 × 102 copies/␮l (Fig. 3B).

223

3.4. Detection of INSV in total thrip RNA extracts and plant hosts

229

The different stages of infected thrips, first instar larvae, second instar larvae, pupae and adult insects had INSV concentrations of 5.52, 3.10 × 101 , 2.41 × 102 and 5.53 × 102 copies/␮l, respectively, according to the TaqMan fluorescent quantitative method. Plant samples infected with INSVPA-CG-1 , INSVHL-YA-9 and INSVPA-CG-2 had average concentrations of 9.56 × 105 , 8.60 × 105 and 8.25 × 105 copies/␮l, respectively (data not shown).

4. Discussion

237

There are a few adopted widely methods to detect INSV, such as serological and molecular technologies. Serological methods include ImmunoStrip and ELISA. Molecular technology utilizes mainly specific primers or degenerate primers of tospoviruses to conduct RT-PCR (Mumford et al., 1996; Okuda and Hanada, 2001) and comparisons after cloning, sequencing and alignment procedures. These methods, including biological measurement and electron microscopy have their practical uses. For example, ImmunoStrip can quickly detect INSV during field investigations. However, they also have disadvantages. Zhang et al. (2008) found that the healthy part from INSV-infected Oncidium luridum showed negative with ELISA but had a weak band with RT-PCR – possibly due to uneven distribution of INSV in the infected plant. This indicated that ELISA is not sensitive enough to detect low concentrations of INSV. RT-PCR is more sensitive, but requires the virus sequence to identify accurately the species (Perry et al., 2005; Tanina et al., 2001). Detection of INSV in thrips has only been reported using ELISA (Deangelis et al., 1994; Sakurai et al., 2004), but false positive results are frequent due to the small size of thrips, low concentration of virus in thrips and interference of insect tissue with the immune reaction. Furthermore, all these methods only detect INSV qualitatively not quantitatively. The TaqMan fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR method constructed in the present study can not only detect INSV specifically in plant hosts and thrips, but also accurately detect low concentrations of INSV. This will aid research on the function of thrips in the spread of INSV. This system using two-labeled TaqMan probe and specific primers in the PCR reaction enhances sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, it has many advantages compared with ordinary PCR. First, the real-time fluorescent PCR uses a new temperature control mechanism that reduces significantly amplification time. The steps of electrophoresis and dying after the regular PCR are time consuming, and are environmentally polluting and harmful to human health due to the dye ethidium bromide, therefore they were

removed from our method. By examining the RT-PCR product in a contained tube, the risks of cross-contamination and false positives are reduced. Second, data analysis for the TaqMan method is rapid and has good reproducibility. The data analysis for 96 samples in a standard format can be performed simultaneously. Finally, TaqMan not only examines samples qualitatively, but also quantitatively. Collecting the real-time fluorescent signal gives the Ct value for the unknown sample so that the initial sample copy can be calculated automatically from the standard curve. Furthermore,

just changing the probe and primer concentrations can optimize the TaqMan system. However, the cost of the TaqMan method is higher than for the other methods. There are more advantages for TaqMan fluorescent RT-PCR than for other methods due to its good reproducibility and better meeting the scientific requirements of quick, effective and accurate measurement. Real-time fluorescent PCR has been used for detection of tospoviruses, such as TSWV (Boonham et al., 2002; Debreczeni et al., 2011; Roberts et al., 2000); but no method for INSV testing has

been reported. Due to its high sensitivity, specificity and quantitative measurement, the TaqMan real-time INSV detection method constructed in the present study can quantify low copy numbers of INSV in early infection stages showing no obvious symptoms. This will provide quarantine organizations with a quick and effective method to aid the control of INSV spread.
