    Differential soybean gene expression during early phase of infection with Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus
    (Springer, 2014) Yadav, Rajiv Kumar; Chattopadhyay, Debasis
    Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV), a bipartite begomovirus, causes yellow mosaic disease to soybean. Studies related to host gene expression in response to begomovirus infection have mostly been performed with systemically infected tissues at a later period of infection. In this study, soybean gene expression analysis has been performed to understand local responses against MYMIV at an early stage of infection before appearance of detectable limit of late viral transcripts. 444 soybean transcripts belonging to eleven functional categories showed significant changes in expression level at two days after infection. MYMIV infection resulted in enhanced expression of genes associated with hypersensitive response, programmed cell death and resistance response pathways and reduced expression of genes for photosynthesis and sugar transport. Comparative expression analysis of selected transcripts in the susceptible and a resistant variety displayed differential expression of host genes involved in intercellular virus movement and long distance signaling of systemic acquired resistance.

    Soybean cultivar resistant to mungbean yellow mosaic India virus infection induces viral RNA degradation earlier than the susceptible cultivar
    (Elsevier B.V., 2009) Yadav, Rajiv Kumar; Shukla, Rakesh Kumar; Chattopadhyay, Debasis
    Yellow mosaic disease caused by whitefly-transmitted bipartite Geminiviruses is one of the major con- straints on productivity of a number of pulse crops. We have cloned the bipartite genome of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus isolated from infected Soybean. We report here that agroinfection of Soybean seedlings with a single uncut recombinant binary plasmid containing tandem dimers of both DNA A and DNA B resulted in 100% infectivity in susceptible varieties. To understand the mechanism of natural resistance in a Soybean variety, we compared the abundance of the viral RNAs in a resistant and a susceptible variety at the early time points after agroinfection. Whilst the resistant variety displayed synthesis but rapid degradation of the early viral RNAs; the degradation in the susceptible variety was delayed resulting in accumulation of those transcripts later in infection. Accumulation of the late viral transcripts and DNA replication were detectable only in the susceptible variety. This indicates that rapid degradation of the early viral transcripts, possibly through siRNA mechanism, is one of the probable mechanisms of natural resistance against geminivirus.
