Introduction Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a type species from the genus Cucumovirus, family Bromoviridae. It is distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical areas causing epidemics in a variety of economically important crops. CMV is able to infect approximate- ly 1300 species of more than 500 mono- and dicoty- ledonous plant genera among over 100 families, with new hosts reported every year [1]. Wide dissemina- tion of CMV suggests its success in rapid adapting to new hosts and new environments [2]. The genome of CMV is a single-stranded, positive- sense RNA. There are three RNA segments contain- ing fi ve open reading frames (ORF), which code for the proteins 1a, 2a, 2b, 3a, and coat protein (CP) [3]. RNAs 1 and 2 encode the components of the viral polymerase complex (1a and 2a). RNA 2 also encodes a protein functioning as a suppressor of the posttran- scriptional gene silencing (2b) [4]. RNA 3 contains the 3a and coat protein genes separated by an inter- genic region. Both of these genes are necessary for cell-to-cell movement of the virus in the host plant [3]. The 3a protein corresponds to the movement pro- tein (MP). The coat protein is expressed from a subge- nomic RNA (RNA 4) and plays an important role in aphid transmission and symptom expression [5, 6]. According to serological relationships, peptide mapping of the coat protein, nucleic acid hybridiza- tion and nucleotide sequence identity, a number of CMV isolates have been described previously and classifi ed into two subgroups, designated I and II ISSN 0233-7657 Biopolymers and Cell. 2015.

P. Shevchenko, O. V. Tymchyshyn, E. AlDalain et al. [7]. The development of phylogenetic analysis meth- ods led to the further subdivision of CMV isolates of subgroup I into subgroups IA and IB [2]. The phy- logeny estimations with full CP ORF, as well as the rearrangements in the 5’ nontranslated region of RNA 3 verifi ed these designations [8]. The strains belonging to subgroups I and II have dissimilar characteristics. The CMV strains of sub- group I are considered more virulent than those of subgroup II. The members of subgroup IA occur all over the world. Contrarily, most isolates in subgroup IB are reported from East Asia, which is considered to be the origin of this subgroup [9]. The strains and isolates detected in other areas (the Mediterranean region, California, Brazil, Australia) have been in- troduced recently from Asia [1]. The mild strains be- long to subgroup II; they are widespread in cooler areas of temperate regions, in the USA, Australia, and Africa [1]. Previously, CMV of subgroup II has been detected in infected pumpkin plants from Ukraine [10]. The subgroup attribution has been established based on the RT-PCR product size. However, the sequences of these isolates have not been obtained and their com- parison with other known strains and isolates has not been performed. In current work, we proceeded with the strain attribution of Ukrainian isolates based on phylogenetic analysis of the partial sequences of the coat protein gene. Materials and Methods Plant samples were collected from different regions of Ukraine. The symptomatic samples were scree ned for the presence of viral antigens. Double-antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS- ELISA) was conducted using commercial test-system of Loewe (Germany). Plant ma terial was homoge- nized in 0.1M phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 1:2 (m/v). Plant com ponents were removed by centrifugation at 5.000 g for 20 min at +4 C using centrifuge PC-6. The supernatant was taken for fur- ther ELISA. DAS-ELISA was performed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The results were checked at the wavelength of 405/630 nm us- ing microplate reader Termo Labsystems Opsis MR (USA) with software Dynex Revelation Quicklink [11]. Total RNA was extracted from naturally infected plant samples using RNeasy Plant Mini kit (Qia gen, UK). The results were confi rmed by electrophoresis of nucleic acids in 1.5% agarose gel. The two-step reverse transcription reaction (RT-PCR) was accom- plished using two specifi c primers complementary to coat protein gene of CMV producing the amplicon with expected size of 500 bp [12]: forward primer – 5’ TATGATAAGAAGCTTG TTTCGCGCA-3΄; re- verse primer – 5’ TTTTAG CCGTAAGCTGGATGG ACAACCC-3΄. The fi rst strand cDNA synthesis was performed at 42 C for 60 min using Termo Scientifi c RevertAid Reverse Transcriptase according to the manufactur- er’s instructions. The fi rst cycle was carried out at 95 C for 1 min. PCR was conducted for 30 cycles us- Fig. 1.

PCR amplifi cation was assessed by elec- trophoresis in a 1.5 % agarose gel in TBE buffer (89 mM TRIS borate and 2 mM EDTA, pH 8.3) and stained in ethidium bromide. The purifi ed amplicons were sequenced using Applied Biosystems 3730x1 DNA Analyzer with Big Dye terminators, version 3.1 (Applied Biosystems, USA). The aligned sequences of the part of coat protein gene of two CMV isolates were compared with the published sequences of CMV strains belonging to different sub- groups available in the GenBank database using NCBI/ BLAST (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/). The list of 20 CMV strains from NCBI used for phylogenetic analysis is presented in Table 1. The phylogenetic analysis was conducted using ME GA version 5.2.1 software. A phy- logenetic tree was constructed using the Neighborhood Joining method. The Kimura 2-parameter model was used to estimate the nucleotide distances among the compared sequences of the CP gene [13]. Results and Discussion The symptomatic samples of vegetable plants were observed under fi eld conditions in different loca- tions. 126 plant samples belonging to the Cucurbita- ceae and Solanaceae families were selected and tested for CMV. The plant samples were collected from following regions of Ukraine: Autonomic Re- public of Crimea, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Ky iv, Kirovohrad, Odessa, Poltava, Cherkasy and Cherni- hiv regions. The plants of Cucurbitaceae family Fig. 2. Phylogenetic tree based on partial coat protein gene sequence of selected strains and Ukrainian isolates. Bootstrap values are shown above branches 60 T. P. Shevchenko, O. V. Tymchyshyn, E. AlDalain et al. (cucumber, squash, pumpkin, and zucchini) showed puckering, distortion, vein banding, yellowing, fi la- mentary leaf structures, yellow leaf mosaics; dark green spots of different size, knobs and malforma- tions on fruits. The plants of Solanaceae family (to- mato, pepper, eggplant) showed disease symptoms in one month after seedtime du ring fl owering. At fi rst yellow spots and vein clearing have appeared on young leaves, followed by systemic yellow and green mosaics, chloroses and necroses. DAS-ELISA was performed for detection of viral antigens in plant samples. 38 of 126 plant samples were found CMV- positive. Virus-infected plants were detected in ag- riecosystems of Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odes- sa, Poltava and Cherkasy regions. For further investigations, two samples were cho sen since they showed a high virus titer in DAS-ELISA and exclusive occurrence of CMV (among the ran ge of vi- ruses tested). The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) from Poltava region showed yellow spot ting on fruits and leaf rolling. Such manifestation is considered classi- cal symptoms of CMV with low rate of occurrence in Ukraine (Fig. 1). The source of another isolate was squash (Cucurbita pepo) from Poltava region with dark green mosaic along the leaf veins (Fig. 1). RT-PCR with the extracted total RNA resulted in am- plifi cation of a cDNA (expected 500 bp long) covering a part of CP gene. The partial CP gene nucleotide sequenc- es of Ukrainian CMV isolates were obtained. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using ali gned nucleotide sequences of the partial CP gene of various CMV strains isolated from different co untries. The Phylogenetic analysis indicated three distinct clusters corresponding to subgroups IA, IB and II (Fig. 2). Table 1.

Within sub- group I, Ukrainian CMV isolates sho wed close phylo- genetic relationships rather with the members of sub- group IB than IA, which formed a separate cluster. Ukrainian isolates shared 79–99 % nucleotide ho- mology with the strains reported from all over the world (Table 1). According to literature data, the members of the same group share more than 90 % homology. The homology between strains from I and II subgroups was approximately 69–77 % [3]. The nucleotide sequences shared 92–94 % similarity among IA and IB subgroup strains [14]. Ukrainian isolates were phylogenetically most related to each other and to the members of sub- group IB (>95 % nucleotide homology). However, they were distinct from the subgroup IA and subgroup II strains. The members of subgroup II showed the lowest nucleotide homology (79–82 %) with the Ukrainian isolates of CMV studied. The phylogenetic analysis of partial sequences of the CP gene of Ukrainian isolates of CMV revealed the highest homology and close relationships with the strains ABI and SD from Korea and China. They shared approximately 98–99 % homology. The infre- quent amino acid substitutions revealed a high simi- larity in this gene region. The protein sequence of ABI strain is different from those of Ukr-sq13, Ukr-tom2, and SD, and has two amino acid substitutions (YA – IT corresponding to 601, 602 positions). The sequence comparison of Ukrainian isolates showed their high similarity. Based on the results obtained, these Ukrai- nian isolates of CMV were identifi ed to belong to the subgroup IB. The sequence data have been submitted to NCBI, accession numbers KJ921838 and KJ921837 for Ukr-tom2 and Ukr-sq13 isolates, respectively. Conclusions The results obtained confi rm the wide dissemination of CMV in Ukraine. The analysis of many samples collected from nine regions of Ukraine representing approximately 1/3 of the country area suggests that about 30 % of plants with manifested symptoms were CMV-positive. Despite the supposed high rate of CMV evolution and adaptation [2], the phyloge- netic analysis of two Ukrainian isolates of CMV re- veals that their homology exceeds 95 %, i.e. that the- se isolates belong to the same strain. In our opinion, it is of special interest as these isolates have been found in totally different host plants, tomato and squash, which belong to distant families. Another important phylogenetic fi nding is that Ukrainian isolates of CMV are attributed to the sub- group IB of CMV strains. The Ukrainian isolates are mostly related to the strains ABI and SD from Korea and China, respectively. Initially, the members of sub- group IB were found in (and thought to be restricted to) the East Asia. Later on, the subgroup IB strains of CMV were shown to be widespread in Iran [1], however the subgroup IA isolates were also detected [15]. The oc- currence of subgroup IB isolates of CMV suggests that they might have been introduced in Ukraine either by seed material or through the exported fresh food prod- ucts. Additionally, we cannot reject a possibility of the virus ‘natural migration’ from Iran (or other neighbor- ing regions) to Ukraine by aphid or birds. Strangely, we have not found the subgroup IA isolates of CMV in Ukraine as yet. These are more virulent strains and isolates which are considered to be common world- wide, including Europe. In accordance with Zi ti kaitė I, et al. [10], the CMV subgroup II was detected in pumpkins from Ternopol and Chernivtsi regions of Uk rai ne. Thus, based on previous research data and our fi n dings, the CMV population in Ukraine consists of the isolates of II and IB subgroups. Having registered severe symptoms on collected plants, we expected that they were induced by a virulent ‘form’ of the virus. Surprisingly, both iso- lates fall into the subgroup IB strains of CMV. In the view of aforesaid, we deem that the obtained results rather re- fl ect the lack of CMV monitoring in Ukraine than reveal atypical virus spread in the region. The data also indicate that the severity of the vi- rus-specifi c symptoms in fi eld conditions may not be directly related to the degree of virulence of a given virus isolate, requiring more research on the CMV biology, epidemiology and evolution.

Аль Далаін, А. С. Бисов, І. Г. Будзанівська, О. В. Шевченко, В. П. Поліщук Перше повідомлення про детекцію ізолятів підгрупи IB вірусу огіркової мозаїки в Україні Мета. Встановлення штамової приналежності українських ізо- лятів вірусу огіркової мозаїки (ВОМ) на основі філогенетично- го аналізу фрагмента послідовності гена капсидного білка. Ме- тоди. Імуноферментний аналіз (ІФА), полімеразна ланцюгова реакція зі зворотною транскрипцією (ЗТ-ПЛР), сиквенування ДНК та філогенетичний аналіз. Результати. ВОМ є широко розповсюдженим патогеном сільськогосподарських культур в Україні. Були відібрані й проаналізовані зразки рослин з вірусо- подібними симптомами представників родин Cucurbitaceae і Solanaceae. Виходячи з результатів візуальної та серологічної діагностики, два зразки Lycopersicon esculentum і Cucurbita pepo з Полтавської області були обрані для подальших молекуляр- них досліджень. Були ампліфіковані й сиквеновані часткові по- слідовності гена капсидного білка. Отримані послідовності кДНК гена капсидного білка цих ізолятів порівняли з опубліко- ваними в Генбанку послідовностями штамів ВОМ різних під- груп. Найбільша гомологія українських ізолятів продемонстро- вана зі штамами ВОМ підгрупи ІВ. Найбільш спорідненими до українських ізолятів виявилися штам АВІ з Кореї та штам SD з Китаю. Висновки. Спираючись на результати філогенетичного аналізу, можна стверджувати, що де тек товані українські ізоляти вірусу огіркової мозаїки належать до групи ІВ. Наші результати є першим по відомленням про наявність ізолятів ВОМ підгрупи ІВ на території України. Ключов і слова: Вірус огіркової мозаїки, ген кап сид но- го білку, філогенетичний аналіз. Т. П. Шевченко, О. В. Тымчишин, Е. Аль Далаин, А. С. Бысов, И. Г. Будзанивская, А. В. Шевченко, В. П. Полищук Первое сообщение о детекции изолятов подгруппы IB вируса мозаики огурца в Украине Цель. Установить штаммовую принадлежности украинских изолятов вируса мозаики огурца (ВМО) на основании филоге- нетичного анализа частичной последовательности гена капсид- ного белка. Методы. Иммуноферментный анализ (ИФА), поли- меразная цепная реакция с обратной транскрипцией (ОТ-ПЦР), секвенирование ДНК и филогенетический анализ. Результаты. ВМО широко распространён в Украине среди сельскохозяйс- твенных культур. Были отобраны и проанализированы образцы растений с вирусоподобными симптомами семейств Cu cur- bitaceae и Solanaceae. На основе визуальной и серологической диагностики два образца Lycopersicon esculentum и Cucurbita pepo из Полтавской области были избраны для дальнейших мо- лекулярных исследований. Были амплифицированы и секвени- рованы частичные последовательности гена капсидного белка. Проведено сравнение полученных последовательностей кДНК гена капсидного белка этих изолятов с опубликованными в Ген- банке последовательностями штам мов ВМО различных под- групп. Наибольшая гомология украинских изолятов проде- монстрирована с представителями подгруппы ІВ. Наиболее родственными к украинским изолятам показаны штаммы АВІ (Корея) и SD (Китай). Выводы. Исходя из результатов филоге- нетического анализа, украинские изоляты ВОМ принадлежат к подгруппе ІВ. Результаты этой работы являются первым свиде- тельством присутствия изолятов подгруппы ІВ ВМО на терри- тории Украины. Ключевые слова: вирус мозаики огурца, ген кап сид- ного белка, филогенетический анализ. Received 24.12.2014
