First report of maize yellow mosaic virus infecting sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) and itch grass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) in Nigeria

During routine surveys conducted from February to July 2015 in the northern guinea savannah region of Nigeria, sugarcane and itch grass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) plants showing virus-like mosaic symptoms were encountered in farmers’ sugarcane fields in Kaduna State. Symptomatic leaf tissue sa...

description During routine surveys conducted from February to July 2015 in the northern guinea savannah region of Nigeria, sugarcane and itch grass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) plants showing virus-like mosaic symptoms were encountered in farmers’ sugarcane fields in Kaduna State. Symptomatic leaf tissue samples from five randomly selected plants (sugarcane = 4; itch grass = 1) were dried and stored under CaCl2 at room temperature then shipped to Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center, Weslaco, TX, with USDA-APHIS-PPQ permit (P526P-14-04321) for further analysis. The MagMAX-96 viral RNA isolation kit (Thermo Fisher) was used to isolate total nucleic acid (TNA) from each sample and from a sample subset consisting of pooled leaf tissue materials from both plants. TNA aliquot from the pooled sample was subjected to ribosomal RNA depletion and cDNA library construction using a TruSeq Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero Plant kit (Illumina), then sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq 500 platform. The raw high-throughput sequencing (HTS) reads were analyzed as previously described (Alabi et al. 2015), generating ∼43.5 million Illumina reads (76 nucleotides [nt] in length), of which 31,486 de novo assembled
