ARN 5 asociado al virus del mosaico del pepino: agente causal de la necrosis del tomate
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|April 22, 1977
Resumen
Una pequeña molécula de ARN, dependiente de un virus pero que no forma parte de su genoma, altera la gravedad de la enfermedad en las plantas. Este ARN causa una enfermedad necrótica letal en las plantas de tomate, similar a una epidemia pasada en Francia.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Patología vegetal patología vegetal.
- Virología Virología.
- Biología molecular La biología molecular.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las enfermedades de las plantas pueden ser causadas por varios patógenos, incluidos virus y agentes subvirales.
- La expresión de las enfermedades de las plantas a menudo está influenciada por las interacciones huésped-patógeno y factores ambientales.
- Los pequeños ARN replicantes pueden actuar como modificadores de enfermedades en las plantas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el papel de un pequeño ARN replicante en la modificación de la expresión de enfermedades en las plantas de tomate.
- Para caracterizar los síntomas y el impacto potencial de esta enfermedad asociada al ARN.
- Para explorar el contexto histórico de enfermedades vegetales devastadoras similares.
Principales métodos:
- Estudios de observación de las plantas de tomate infectadas.
- Análisis sintomológico de la enfermedad necrótica.
- Revisión de datos históricos de fallas pasadas en las cosechas de tomate.
Principales resultados:
- Un pequeño ARN replicante, dependiente de un virus auxiliar, fue identificado como un factor en el desarrollo de la enfermedad.
- En las plantas de tomate, este ARN indujo una enfermedad necrótica letal.
- La enfermedad observada en los tomates es probablemente idéntica a una importante epidemia de la cosecha de tomates francesa de 1972.
Conclusiones:
- Los pequeños ARN replicantes pueden alterar significativamente los fenotipos de enfermedades en plantas huéspedes específicas.
- Esta enfermedad mediada por ARN representa una amenaza significativa para el cultivo del tomate.
- La comprensión de estos agentes es crucial para prevenir futuras pérdidas agrícolas.

01:29Subviral Agents
Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...
01:03Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

01:29Viruses with RNA Genomes
RNA viruses are categorized into positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded groups based on their genomic structure and replication mechanisms. This classification dictates how they exploit host cellular machinery for protein synthesis and replication. Some RNA viruses also utilize reverse transcription as part of their life cycle, further diversifying their replication strategies.Positive-Strand RNA VirusesPositive-strand RNA viruses have genomes that function directly as messenger...
01:27Cytomegalovirus Disease
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...
01:09Microbe-Plant Interactions
Microbe-plant interactions represent a dynamic spectrum of associations shaped by intricate chemical signaling. These interactions can be neutral, beneficial, or detrimental, and profoundly influence plant physiology, growth, and ecosystem function. The plant microbiome, comprising bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and viruses, plays a pivotal role in mediating these effects through surface colonization, internal colonization, or systemic symbiosis.Mutualistic associations, particularly with...
