21:T555,Both Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) and Rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV) belong to the family Reoviridae, and synergistic infection of these two viruses commonly occurs in the field. This study revealed that both SRBSDV and RRSV affect the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway and form different virus-derived interfering RNA (vsiRNA) profiles in rice. Co-infection of rice by SRBSDV and RRSV up-regulated the expression of rice DICER-like (DCL) proteins but down-regulated the expression of rice RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRs), and the accumulation of vsiRNAs of either RBSDV or RRSV was decreased compared with that in singly infected plants. The majority of SRBSDV vsiRNAs were 21 nt or 22 nt in length, whether plants were singly infected with SRBSDV or co-infected with RRSV. On the other hand, the majority of RRSV vsiRNAs were 20 nt, 21 nt, or 22 nt in length, among which those 20 nt in length accounted for the largest proportion; co-infection with SRBSDV further increased the proportion of 20 nt vsiRNAs and decreased the proportion of 21 nt vsiRNAs. Co-infection had no effects on the strand favoritism and hot spots of the vsiRNAs, but changed the bias of the 5' terminal nucleotide significantly. This study provides a reference for further study on the pathogenesis and synergistic mechanism of SRBSDV and RRSV.22:T51c,Rapid, sensitive and visual detection of plant viruses is conducive to effective prevention and control of plant viral diseases. Therefore, combined with reverse transcription and recombinase-aided amplification, we developed a CRISPR/Cas12a-based visual nucleic acid detection system targeting sorghum mosaic virus and rice stripe mosaic virus, which cause harm to crop production in field. When the RT-RAA products were recognized by crRNA and formed a complex with LbCas12a, the ssDNA labeled with a quenched green fluorescent molecule will be cleaved by LbCas12a, and then a significant green fluorescence signal will appear. The entire detection process can be completed within 30 min without using any sophisticated equipment and instruments. The detection system could detect samples at a dilution of 10⁷, about 10⁴-fold improvement over RT-PCR, so the system was successfully to detect rice stripe mosaic virus in a single leafhopper, which is the transmission vector of the virus. Finally, the CRISPR/Cas12a-based detection system was utilized to on-site detect the two viruses in the field, and the results were fully consistent with that we obtained by RT-PCR in laboratory, demonstrating that it has the application prospect of detecting important crop viruses in the field.
