Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a primer set for amplifying the whole genome sequence of maize chlorotic mottle virus and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Maize chlorotic mottle virus belongs to the Tomato Cluster Dwarf Virus Family ( Tombusviridae Maize chlorotic mottle virus (Machlomovirus) is a member of the genus Machlomovirus, whose natural hosts include maize (Maize). Zea mays ) and sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum Under experimental conditions, it can also infect wheat ( Triticum aestivum ),barley( Hordeum vulgare ),oat( Avena sativa ), sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor It infests grasses such as Gramineae. The genome of maize chlorotic mottle virus is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA, approximately 4.4 kb in length, with a methylated nucleotide cap at the 5′ end and no PolyA tail at the 3′ end. The genome contains four major open reading frames, encoding a total of seven proteins: P32, P50, P111, P7a, P7b, P31, and the capsid protein (CP).
[0003] Maize chlorotic mottle virus is a quarantine pest for imported plants in my country, mainly distributed in countries such as Argentina, Mexico, Peru, and the United States. Infecting maize alone causes symptoms such as chlorosis of leaves and the appearance of yellow-green mottled stripes parallel to the leaf veins, resulting in yield losses of 10%–15%. However, when maize chlorotic mottle virus is combined with the virus from the Potato Virus Y family (…),… Potyviridae When viruses such as maize dwarf mosaic virus, wheat streak mosaic virus, sugarcane mosaic virus, or Johnson's grass mosaic virus cause co-infection, a synergistic effect can occur, leading to a significant increase in the accumulation of viruses in maize plant tissues. This can induce a devastating viral disease—maize lethal necrosis disease (MLND), which can cause yield losses exceeding 90%. MLND presents different symptoms at different growth stages: during the seedling stage, maize plants are stunted, and leaves develop chlorotic spots that merge to form streaks and die from the leaf margins inward, leading to seedling wilting and necrosis in severe cases; during the jointing stage, maize leaves show chlorotic mottling and necrosis, which can cause premature plant death and ear deformities in severe cases; during the milk stage, the entire maize plant dies, and the kernels become shriveled.
[0004] Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) is easily transmitted through mechanical friction inoculation and can also be transmitted via seeds and insect vectors such as leaf beetles. Currently, there are no effective control agents against this virus; strengthening quarantine remains the most effective way to prevent its introduction. Traditional detection and identification methods, including host identification inoculation, electron microscopy, and serological testing, all have limitations, making rapid and accurate identification of MCMV difficult and prone to false negatives or false positives. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has the advantages of high specificity and sensitivity, but existing methods mainly target single gene fragments such as the MCMV coat protein (CP), P111 protein (P111), and P32 protein (P32) for detection and analysis. Given that a single gene fragment is only a part of the viral genome, significant mutations in that fragment can still lead to inaccurate detection results. Therefore, identification methods based on the whole MCMV genome sequence offer higher accuracy and reliability. Summary of the Invention
