    Abstract The complete genome sequence of a novel sadwavirus infecting cattleya orchids in South East Queensland is described. Isometric virions of c. 27 nm diameter were observed in sap extracts viewed under a transmission electron microscope, and the genome sequence of this virus was determined by high-throughput sequencing. The viral genome consists of two RNA components, 5,910 and 4,435 nucleotides (nt) in length, each encoding a long polyprotein, with predicted cleavage sites at H/Y, E/G, Q/S, and Q/G for the RNA1 and T/G for the RNA2 translation products, respectively. RNA2 has an additional small ORF of 684 nt near the 3' untranslated region. Phylogenetic analysis based on an amino acid sequence alignment of the Pro-Pol region suggested that this virus is most closely related to pineapple secovirus A, a member of the subgenus Cholivirus, but warrants classification as a member of a new species because it exhibited no more than 64% amino acid identity in pairwise sequence comparisons. Because of the prominent purple ringspots that were observed on the leaves of some of the plants, we propose the name "cattleya purple ringspot virus" for this virus (suggested species name: "Sadwavirus cattleyacola").

    Abstract Abnormal vertical growth (AVG) in macadamia is a syndrome that reduces flowering and alters tree architecture, resulting in significant yield losses. The epidemiological parameters suggest the cause is probably a biotic agent with the ability to modulate plant hormone production or signalling. To determine if a fungal pathogen is the cause of AVG, we compared the fungal profile of macadamia trees with or without AVG symptoms using conventional culturing and DNA metabarcoding techniques. A diverse range of fungi was isolated from leaf, root and stem samples of macadamia cultivars HAES 344 and A16. The abundance of the isolated fungi was at least three‐fold higher in trees with AVG symptoms than in trees at the non‐AVG site. Similar results were obtained using DNA metabarcoding. Although the fungal genus Sebacina was the most dominant in the DNA metabarcoding, whereas Diaporthe (>40%) was dominant using the culturing techniques, no unique fungal species was consistently associated with all AVG samples. Therefore, we conclude that it is unlikely that the cause of AVG in macadamia is a fungal pathogen.

    Abstract In this brief note, we review the taxonomic history of dahlia mosaic virus (DMV) and related viruses. DMV is the only officially recognized caulimovirus known to infect dahlia (Dahlia variabilis) plants, although this virus appears to be relatively rare as a pathogen compared to a more recently described but unclassified caulimovirus called dahlia common mosaic virus (DCMV). We have undertaken a new set of analyses to test the hypothesis that DCMV represents a new caulimovirus species whose members infect dahlia, but we ultimately reject this hypothesis. A probable sequencing error was identified in the reference genome sequence of DMV, and consequently, we recommend that an alternative virus isolate be nominated as the exemplar for this species. In accordance with the new binomial nomenclatural system, it is proposed that the virus species be called "Caulimovirus dahliae".

    Abstract Avocado is one of the world's fastest growing tropical fruit industries, and the pathogen avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd) is a major threat to both production and access to international export markets. ASBVd is seed transmissible, with infection possible via either the male (pollen) or female gametes. Surveillance for ASBVd across commercial orchards is a major logistical task, particularly when aiming to meet the stringent standards of evidence required for a declaration of pest freedom. As with many fruit crops, insect pollination is important for high avocado yields, and honey bee (

    Abstract Avocado is one of the world's fastest growing tropical fruit industries, and the pathogen avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd) is a major threat to both production and access to international export markets. ASBVd is seed transmissible, with infection possible via either the male (pollen) or female gametes. Surveillance for ASBVd across commercial orchards is a major logistical task, particularly when aiming to meet the stringent standards of evidence required for a declaration of pest freedom. As with many fruit crops, insect pollination is important for high avocado yields, and honey bee (Apis mellifera) hives are typically moved into orchards for paid pollination services. Exploiting the foraging behavior of honey bees can provide a complementary strategy to traditional surveillance methods. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) of bee samples for plant viruses shows promise, but this surveillance method has not yet been tested for viroids or in a targeted plant biosecurity context. Here, we tested samples of bees and pollen collected from pollination hives in two ASBVd orchard locations, one in Australia, where only four trees in a block were known to be infected, and a second in South Africa, where the estimated incidence of infection was 10%. Using real-time RT-PCR and HTS (total RNA-seq and small RNA-seq), we demonstrated that ASBVd can be confidently detected in bees and pollen samples from hives within 100 m of infected trees. The potential for using this approach in ASBVd surveillance for improved orchard management and supporting market access is discussed.

    Abstract An apscaviroid, tentatively named citrus viroid VII (CVd-VII), was recently discovered in citrus in Australia. A diagnostic assay using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was developed and validated to detect the viroid in citrus plants. The assay showed a high level of sensitivity, reliably detecting 2000 plasmid copies per reaction, while down to 20 plasmid copies per reaction were occasionally detected. The assay showed high specificity, producing no false positives or cross-reactivity with a range of other citrus graft-transmissible pathogens, including viroids, viruses and bacteria. The real-time assay was also found to be more sensitive than the available end-point reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay by a factor of 100,000 and could be a useful tool for the rapid detection of CVd-VII in diagnostic and research environments.

    Abstract A new badnavirus, aucuba ringspot virus (AuRV), was identified in plants of Aucuba japonica showing mild mosaic, vein banding, and yellow ringspot symptoms on the leaves. The complete nucleotide sequence of the AuRV genome was determined and found to be 9,092 nt in length, and the virus was found to have a genome organization typical of members of the genus Badnavirus. ORF3 was predicted to encode a polyprotein containing conserved movement protein, coat protein, aspartic protease, reverse transcriptase (RT), and RNase H domains. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that this virus is most closely related to codonopsis vein clearing virus but belongs to a distinct species, based on only 69.6% nucleotide sequence identity within the part of ORF 3 encoding the RT and RNase H domains. The vector of AuRV is unknown, but based on phylogenetic relationships, it is predicted to be a type of aphid.

    Abstract Two near complete polerovirus genomes were assembled using high throughput sequencing (HTS) data from two separate samples of garlic cultivar ‘Glenlarge’ grown in Gatton, Queensland, Australia. Whole genome sequence comparisons showed that one contig shared 96.7% nucleotide identity with phasey bean mild yellows virus (MT966032.1) and the other, 99.8% nucleotide identity with turnip yellows virus (MT586581.1). Phylogenetic analyses further revealed that the isolates fell within the PBMYV group 2 and TuYV group 2 clades, respectively. This is the first report of these poleroviruses infecting garlic.
