RESUMEN
Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is emerging across the major cotton-producing states of the southern United States. Because it was detected in nearly all cotton-producing states within a few years of its initial detection in the United States, the spread of the virus has apparently occurred rapidly. In this study spanning three growing seasons in South Carolina, we collected CLRDV isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic cotton plants in 10 counties. The genomic region encoding P0, the viral suppressor of RNA silencing, was sequenced and compared among CLRDV isolates. Low variability among CLRDV P0 sequences from South Carolina isolates with similarities to other United States isolates was revealed by amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis. Low variability among South Carolina isolates was also confirmed by sequencing a subset of eight near-complete genomes of CLRDV isolates. Although sequence variability was low among South Carolina isolates, this data should be taken in the context of all United States isolates, for which diversity may be higher than initially expected. Sequences gathered in this study add to the body of knowledge on CLRDV diversity in the United States.

At the cellular level, membrane damage is a fundamental cause of yield loss at high temperatures (HT). We report our investigations on a subset of a peanut (Arachis hypogaea) recombinant inbred line population, demonstrating that the membrane lipid remodeling occurring at HT is consistent with homeoviscous adaptation to maintain membrane fluidity. A major alteration in the leaf lipidome at HT was the reduction in the unsaturation levels, primarily through reductions of 18:3 fatty acid chains, of the plastidic and extra-plastidic diacyl membrane lipids. In contrast, levels of 18:3-containing triacylglycerols (TGs) increased at HT, consistent with a role for TGs in sequestering fatty acids when membrane lipids undergo remodeling during plant stress. Polyunsaturated acyl chains from membrane diacyl lipids were also sequestered as sterol esters (SEs). The removal of 18:3 chains from the membrane lipids decreased the availability of susceptible molecules for oxidation, thereby minimizing oxidative damage in membranes. Our results suggest that transferring 18:3 chains from membrane diacyl lipids to TGs and SEs is a key feature of lipid remodeling for HT adaptation in peanut. Finally, QTL-seq allowed the identification of a genomic region associated with heat-adaptive lipid remodeling, which would be useful for identifying molecular markers for heat tolerance.
