Distribution and accumulation of cassava brown streak viruses within infected cassava (Manihot esculenta) plants

Abstract: Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD), caused by Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV), ranks among the top seven biological threats to global food security. The disease poses a significant threat to cassava production in East and Central Africa (ECA). In Uganda, overall CBSD incidence increased by c. 20% since it re‐emerged in 2004, and the disease persistently reduces cassava yields and storage root qualities. The spread of CBSD has been studied spatially in fields in… Show more

“…Sample DNA was standardized to a concentration of 4.5 ng/μl and 10 μl subjected to SYBR Green I chemistry as described by Ogwok et al (2015). Amplification was performed using the following conditions: 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 40 cycles at 95 °C for 10 s and 60 °C for 30 s. Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) (Adams et al, 2013) was used as reference gene.…”

“…The farmer-preferred cultivar TME 204 possesses inherent resistance to CMD (Rabbi et al, 2014; Beyene et al, 2016) but is susceptible to CBSD (Ogwok et al, 2015). Transgenic TME 204 lines were genetically engineered with RNAi construct p5001 (Chauhan et al, 2015) with the goal of modifying this cultivar to generate TME 204 germplasm with robust resistance to CBSD and CMD.…”

“…TME 14 infected with CBSD was planted around each plot to ensure maximum disease transmission to the test materials. Prior to planting, the “spreader” TME 14 plants were tested by RT-PCR (Ogwok et al, 2015) to ensure that they harbored both CBSV and UCBSV. After planting in the field, plants were watered daily for 1 week and then three times per week thereafter.…”

“…Genomic DNA was removed using the TURBO DNA-free Kit (Ambion, Houston, Texas) and the resulting RNA run on a denaturing agarose gel to check for quality. RNA was used for cDNA synthesis and amplification of 3′-viral genomic regions of about 1607 bp (CBSV) and 1670 bp (UCBSV) essentially as described by (Ogwok et al, 2015) using degenerate primer combinations CBSVF2 (5′-GGRCCATACATYAARTGGTT-3′) (Mohammed et al, 2012) and CBSVDR (5′- GGATATGGAGAAAGRKCTCC-3′) (Mbanzibwa et al, 2011). PCR products were cloned as described earlier (Ogwok et al, 2015) and sequenced using the Sanger sequencing method.…”
