Abstract
Pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) with severe leaf curl symptoms were collected in 2013 from Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The detection results showed a co-infection between the tomato leaf curl Joydebpur virus (ToLCJoV) and tomato leaf curl Bangladesh betasatellite (ToLCBDB) through the sequencing analysis of PCR amplicons. To pinpoint the molecular mechanism of this uncommon combination, infectious clones of ToLCJoV and two different betasatellites—ToLCBDB and tomato leaf curl Joydebpur betasatellite (ToLCJoB)—were constructed and tested for their infectivity in Nicotiana benthamiana. Together, we conducted various combined agroinoculation studies to compare the interaction of ToLCJoV with non-cognate and cognate betasatellites. The natural non-cognate interaction between ToLCJoV and ToLCBDB showed severe symptoms compared to the mild symptoms of a cognate combination (ToLCJoV × ToLCJoB) in infected plants. A sequence comparison among betasatellites and their helper virus wasperformed and the iteron resemblances in ToLCBDB as well as ToLCJoB clones were processed. Mutant betasatellites that comprised iteron modifications revealed that changes in iteron sequences could disturb the transreplication process between betasatellites and their helper virus. Our study might provide an important consideration for determining the efficiency of transreplication activity between betasatellites and their helper virus.
