Region VI of cauliflower mosaic virus encodes a host range determinant.
Abstract
A domain of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) which controls systemic spread in two solanaceous hosts (Datura stramonium and Nicotiana bigelovii) was mapped to the first half of open reading frame 6. Whereas ordinary strains of CaMV are unable to infect solanaceous species except to replicate locally in inoculated leaves, a new CaMV strain (D4) induces chlorotic local lesions and systemically infects both D. stramonium and N. bigelovii. To determine which portion of the CaMV genome controls systemic spread of the virus in solanaceous hosts, nine recombinant genomes constructed between D4 and two ordinary strains of the virus were tested for their ability to infect solanaceous hosts. A 496-base-pair DNA segment comprising the first half of open reading frame 6 specified the type of local lesions and systemic spread of the virus in solanaceous hosts. Exchange of this segment of the genome between strains of CaMV converted a compatible host reaction to an incompatible (hypersensitive) one in response to infection. This suggests that the gene VI protein interacts with the plant to suppress hypersensitivity, the normal response of solanaceous hosts to CaMV infection.
