Abstrakt: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has broad host range by infecting major stable food crops and causes heavy loss especially in brinjal. In major brinjal growing tracts of Tamil Nadu, Krishnagiri recorded the highest combined infection of CMV and Candidatus Phytoplasma australasia (Ca. P. australasia) with 26%. The symptoms ranged from mild to severe mosaic, mottling, filiformity of leaves and little leaf. The virus was successfully transmitted to cowpea cv. CO7 and ridge gourd through mechanical inoculation and the presence of virus was detected both by DAC-ELISA and RT-PCR. Electron microscopy of CMV exemplified isometric particles with 28-35 nm under TEM and phytoplasma with 700-820 nm in SEM analysis. Among the different test hosts, Luffa acutangula was found to be the best indicator host for brinjal CMV isolate as it requires shorter period (4-5DPI) to express symptoms with good virus titer (A 405nm 2.318). The genome characterization of CMV TNB isolate revealed that the RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3 have 97, 96 and 99% homology with other 1B sub group CMV isolates, respectively. Recombination analysis of RNA2 of CMV TNB has tomato Egyptian isolate (KT921315) as major parent and black pepper Indian isolate (KU947030) as minor parent at the conserved region (52-805nt). The characterization of phytoplasma using iphy classifier reveled Ca. P. australasia belonging to 16SrIID subgroup was present along with CMV infection. In addition, the Solanum torvum grown in and around brinjal ecosystem showed severe mosaic and exhibited 99% nucleotide identity with CMV TNB isolate and these plants also act as inoculum source during the on and off cropping season in India. To our knowledge this is the first record of mixed infection of CMV and Ca. P. australasia in brinjal and first record of CMV infection in S. torvum in India.
