Taxonomic Tree
Notes on Taxonomy and Nomenclature
Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) is the type and only species of the machlomovirus genus (Lommel, 1995). On the basis of significant amino acid sequence homology in the viral polymerase, the Machlomovirus genus has been placed within the family Tombusviridae. Recently, panicum mosaic virus, also known as Saint Augustine decline virus, has been sequenced and shown to be similar in genome organization and sequence homology to MCMV (Turina et al., 1998). It is likely that the two viruses will be related taxonomically.The following serotypes of MCMV have been identified: Kansas serotypes 1 and 2 and the Peru serotype (Niblett and Claflin, 1978; Uyemoto et al., 1980). The serotypes are differentiated serologically by agar double-diffusion analysis. The Kansas serotypes 1 and 2 are prevalent in Kansas and have also been identified in Hawaii (Jiang et al., 1992). MCMV serotypes show no significant differences in symptoms or pathogenicity.It is important to note that MCMV and maize mottle chlorotic stunt virus, which is endemic to tropical Africa, are two distinct and unrelated viruses (Thottappilly et al., 1993). The two taxonomically, morphologically and geographically distinct viruses should not be confused because of their similar names.
Description
The virus has spherical particles 30 nm in diameter when observed in a transmission electron microscope after negative staining (Castillo and Hebert, 1974; Gordon et al., 1984). The virions appear smooth and icosahedral in shape. From electron micrographic observations and the sequence similarity of the coat protein with that of bean southern mosaic sobemovirus, the virion is hypothesized to be a t=3 icosahedral virion formed by 180 copies of the 27 kDa capsid protein subunit (Lommel et al., 1991). The virion packages the 4,400 nucleotide single-stranded RNA genome (Lommel et al., 1991).
Distribution
MCMV has been reported in several countries throughout the Western Hemisphere including Argentina, Mexico, Peru and the USA. MCMV is probably also present but not yet reported in other Western Hemisphere countries. Its vector, Diabrotica spp., are strictly New World species; thus MCMV has the potential to be present and become established in any maize-growing region within the Western Hemisphere. The recent report from Hawaii that MCMV can be transmitted by thrips (Frankliniella williamsii), significantly increases the potential range of the virus.In Nebraska and Kansas (USA), MCMV was initially restricted to the Republican River valley which borders these two states (Uyemoto, 1983). In Kauai, Hawaii the virus is present in winter nursery maize breeding plots (Jiang et al., 1992). MCMV is endemic in the Lima, Huaral, Chancay, Lurin and Canete valleys in the Department of Lima, Peru (Castillo, 1976).It is important to note that MCMV and maize mottle chlorotic stunt virus, which is endemic to tropical Africa, are two distinct and unrelated viruses (Thottappilly et al., 1993). The two taxonomically, morphologically and geographically distinct viruses should not be confused because of their similar names.

Notes on phytosanitary risk
All grass clones in the Poaceae are quarantined and tested for viruses including MCMV prior to release in the USA. New Zealand, Hungary, Bulgaria, Morocco, Indonesia and Poland include MCMV on lists of harmful organisms that are prohibited.
Hosts/Species Affected
Maize is the only known natural host of MCMV (Bockelman et al., 1982), but maize genotypes infected range from highly resistant to extremely susceptible. The experimental host range of the virus is restricted to the Poaceae (Castillo and Hebert, 1974; Bockelman et al., 1982). The virus does not cause symptoms and probably does not infect dicotyledonous species (Castillo and Hebert, 1974; Niblett and Claflin, 1978).

Symptoms
For field-grown maize infected with MCMV, growth is stunted with the formation of short internodes. Leaf symptoms begin as chlorotic stripes running parallel to the veins which later coalesce to produce elongated chlorotic blotches, finally resulting in leaf necrosis and epinasty. In severe infections of particularly susceptible lines, leaf necrosis can result in plant death (Castillo and Hebert, 1974). Male inflorescences have hard panicles, short rachis and few spikelets. Fewer ears and ear malformation can also occur in severe infections (Castillo, 1976). A general observation is that the younger the maize plant is when MCMV infects, the more severe the stunting and symptoms become (Lenardon et al., 1987). MCMV has been detected by serological methods in all parts of an infected maize plant, including leaf, stem, roots, cob, husk, silk, kernel, seed, anther and sheath tissues (Jiang et al., 1992). When MCMV co-infects maize with any potyvirus, a synergistic interaction occurs, causing a severe disease called corn lethal necrosis (CLN) (Niblett and Claflin, 1978). In maize the most common potyviruses found in co-infections with MCMV are maize dwarf mosaic potyvirus (MDMV) A and/or B. The symptoms of corn lethal necrosis are much more severe than the additive symptoms of either MCMV or the potyvirus virus alone. The virus complex causes a severe systemic necrosis which culminates in death of the plant (Niblett and Claflin, 1978; Uyemoto et al., 1980; Uyemoto et al., 1981). If maize plants exhibit a rapid onset of necrosis followed by rapid plant death, it is likely that they are infected with both MCMV and a maize-infecting potyvirus. The titre of MCMV in plants infected with both MCMV and a potyvirus is more than five times higher than in plants infected with MCMV alone (Goldberg and Brakke, 1987). From an epidemiological perspective, corn lethal necrosis can occur wherever both MCMV and a maize infecting potyvirus are endemic.

Diagnosis
The most reliable and sensitive methods to detect and identify MCMV are based on serology (Uyemoto, 1980; Townsend and Greif, 1990). MCMV is a moderate to strong immunogen, consequently there are a number of excellent polyclonal and even monoclonal antibodies available (Niblett and Claflin, 1978; Castillo et al., 1991). Agar double-diffusion (Bockelman et al., 1982), serological specific electron microscopy (Niblett and Claflin, 1978), Western blots, dot-blots and several formats of ELISA (Uyemoto, 1980) are effective in identifying MCMV. MCMV should be detectable in seed by the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method using viral specific oligonucleotide primers based on the nucleotide sequence of the virus.MCMV is readily mechanically transmissible to maize. Different maize genotypes respond differently to MCMV infection, and can range from resistant to susceptible. The inbred corn line N28ht is quite susceptible and produces conspicuous symptoms of MCMV (Bockelman et al., 1982). MCMV can easily be distinguished from most other common maize viruses occurring in the Western Hemisphere (maize chlorotic dwarf virus, maize mosaic virus, maize rayado fino virus, maize stripe virus and maize white line mosaic virus) because it is mechanically transmissible (Gordon et al., 1984). MCMV can be readily distinguished from the two other mechanically transmissible plant viruses that commonly infect maize: maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) and wheat streak mosaic virus. Sorghum bicolor cv. Asgrow Bugoff is immune to MCMV and therefore can be used to distinguish between MCMV and MDMV. MDMV causes systemic mottling and reddening of the leaves (Uyemoto et al., 1980). Wheat can be used to distinguish between MCMV and wheat streak mosaic virus.
Similarities to Other Species/Conditions
In the early stages of infection, symptoms of MCMV can be confused with those of maize dwarf mosaic potyvirus.MCMV is not serologically related to a number of similar shaped viruses or other viruses of maize and corn (Castillo and Hebert, 1974). On the basis of genome organisation and amino acid sequence homology, MCMV is most closely related to panicum mosaic virus (Turina et al., 1997).
Biology and Ecology
TransmissionThe virus is easily transmitted mechanically in the laboratory. Extensive research has been conducted on how MCMV is transmitted and maintained in nature, particularly during maize-free periods. MCMV can be transmitted by six species of beetle, belonging to the family Chrysomelidae: the cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus), the corn flea beetle (Systena frontalis) and Chaetocnema pulicaria, the southern corn rootworm (Diabrotica undecimpunctata), the northern corn rootworm (D. longicornis) and the western corn rootworm (D. virgifera) (Nault et al., 1978; Reyes and Castillo, 1988; Jensen, 1985). In Hawaii, MCMV has been shown to be transmitted by the thrips Frankliniella williamsi (Jiang et al., 1992). Insects that have been shown not to transmit MCMV include several aphid species, two leafhoppers, a planthopper, a whitefly, a scarab beetle and a noctuid larva.EpidemiologyIn Kansas and Nebraska (USA), MCMV infections re-occur in the same locations within maize fields year after year. This observation has led to the hypothesis that the virus is maintained in the soil from season to season (Uyemoto, 1983). There are conflicting reports as to whether MCMV can survive in maize residues during maize-free periods (Uyemoto, 1983; Montenegro and Castillo, 1996). The virus has been shown to over-winter in ploughed corn stubble. It is also hypothesized that the larval stages of the corn rootworms, that have been shown to successfully transmit the virus, are capable of harbouring infectious virus during the host-free periods (Uyemoto, 1983). It is now thought that MCMV can be introduced into geographically distinct maize-growing regions by the introduction of an infected plant or by seed transmission. Once present, the virus can then persist in the region by infection in maize or by over-wintering in the larval stages of the vector when the maize host is not present.
Seedborne Aspects
Incidence
In a study that was performed to explain a sudden outbreak of MCMV in Hawaii, MCMV was identified by ELISA in 17 seedlings grown out in a greenhouse from 42,000 maize seeds harvested from symptomatic plants in commercial winter nurseries in Hawaii (Jensen et al., 1991). Seedborne infection was later confirmed in Hawaii-produced maize seed (Jiang et al., 1992) and in sweetcorn seed by (Delgadillo-Sanchez et al., 1994). In earlier studies where seed transmission was not observed, only 800-2153 seedlings were assayed (Castillo and Hebert, 1974; Bockelman et al., 1982). It is generally concluded that the sample size in the studies where seed transmission was not observed was too small to detect the low level of MCMV seed transmission.
Pathogen Transmission
SeedBockelman et al. (1982) were unable to detect seed transmission of MCMV in several maize inbred and hybrid lines. Nor was seed transmission observed in a hybrid maize line by Castillo and Hebert (1974). However, Jensen et al. (1991) found 17 MCMV infected seedlings grown out in a greenhouse from 42,000 maize seeds and Delgadillo-Sanchez et al. (1994) detected the virus in two of 12,910 sweetcorn plants and one of 12,020 white-grained dent maize plants after seed transmission. These studies clearly established that MCMV is seed transmitted at a low level.Other sourcesVarious insects have been identified as potential above-ground arthropod vectors of MCMV including six arthropod species found in MCMV-infected maize fields in Hawaii (Peregrinus maidis, Sardia pluto, Empoasca solana, Adoretus sinicus, Tetranychus sp. and Frankliniella williamsi) that gave positive test results for MCMV by ELISA, but only F. williamsi was able to transmit MCMV to healthy maize plants. This is the first evidence of MCMV transmission by thrips. A total of 15 other plant species tested by ELISA were negative for MCMV, except for one sample of the grass Trichachne insularis and one sample of Melia azedarach (Jiang et al., 1992). Other studies have shown the pathogen to be transmitted by the cereal leaf beetle, the corn flea beetle and the corn rootworm (Jensen, 1985; Nault et al., 1978).
Seed Health Tests
SerologyNo seed health tests have been published. However, a diagnostic kit for detecting MCMV in seeds has been produced for proprietary use (Townsend and Greif, 1990). The pathogen can also be detected in plant tissues by ELISA (Uyemoto, 1980).
Natural enemy of
Impact
In Peru, losses in floury and sweet maize varieties due to MCMV have been reported to average between 10 and 15%. In experimental plots, inoculated plant yields were reduced by up to 59% (Castillo, 1976). In Kansas crop losses due to corn lethal necrosis (caused by MCMV and any potyvirus) have been estimated to be between 50 (Uyemoto et al., 1980) and 90% (Niblett and Claflin, 1978) depending on the variety of maize and the year.
Prevention and Control
Due to the variable regulations around (de)registration of pesticides, your national list of registered pesticides or relevant authority should be consulted to determine which products are legally allowed for use in your country when considering chemical control. Pesticides should always be used in a lawful manner, consistent with the product's label.
The most effective control for MCMV will be the deployment of resistant varieties. A number of sources of resistance to MCMV have been identified and are being incorporated into commercial maize varieties throughout the Western Hemisphere (Nault and Findley, 1981; Nault et al., 1982). Alternatively, crop rotation with sorghum or another non-maize crop has been shown to reduce the incidence of MCMV the following year (Phillips et al., 1982; Uyemoto, 1983). Soil fumigation apparently does not control MCMV.Corn lethal necrosis, the disease caused by the synergistic interaction between MCMV and a maize-infecting potyvirus, can be controlled by effectively controlling and eliminating the infection of either component virus. Corn lethal necrosis has been controlled experimentally using transgenic resistance derived from a pathogen (Murry et al., 1993). Transgenic maize plants expressing the MDMV strain B capsid protein did not lead to corn lethal necrosis when inoculated with MDMV and MCMV.
