Abstract: In April 2024, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was expanded by 1 new order, 1 new family, 6 new subfamilies, 34 new genera and 270 new species. One class, two orders and six species were renamed. Seven families and 12 genera were moved; ten species were renamed and moved; and nine species were abolished. This article presents the updated taxonomy of Negarnaviricota as currently accepted by the ICTV, providing an essential annual update on the classification of members of this phylum that deepen understandings of their evolution, and supports critical public health measures for virus identification and tracking.

Abstract: In July 2024, a pooled leaf sample (D760/24) was collected from several plants of three watermelon cultivars (Citrullus lanatus cvs. Crimson Sweet, Asahi Miyako Hybrid F1 and Top Gun) grown in an open field (approx. 0.5ha) in Dombrava, Slovenia. The plants which were included in the pooled sample showed virus-like symptoms, such as leaf mosaic, wilting and necrosis (eXtra Supplementary material Fig. S1). The disease incidence was estimated at 10%. DNA and RNA were extracted following Mehle et al. (2013) and RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germany) protocols, respectively. The sample was tested positive by reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR for watermelon crinkle leaf-associated virus 1 (WCLaV-1) and WCLaV-2 ( Hernandez et al. 2021) and negative for other viruses (details on viruses tested and primers used are available in eXtra Table S1). The obtained amplicons of expected sizes of WCLaV-1 and WCLaV-2 movement protein (MP) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) genes (eXtra Fig S2) were then subjected to Sanger sequencing (Eurofins Genomics, Germany) and BLAST analysis. The MP (PQ570004, PQ570006) and the RdRp (PQ570005, PQ570007) sequences exhibited 100% identity with multiple accessions of WCLaV-1, such as PP792977 and PP792976, and WCLaV-2, such as LC636073 and LC636074. Illumina high-throughput sequencing (HTS, Novogene, Germany, NovaSeq X Plus, PE150) identified WCLaV-1 (PV012703-04) and WCLaV-2 (PV012705-06) reads, along with cucumis melo amalgavirus 1 (CmAV1, PV012707) and solanum nigrum ilarvirus 1 reads (insufficient reads to reconstruct genome segments, it may originate from pollen contamination of nearby infected plants in the field (Rivarez et al. 2023)). HTS data were analyzed in CLC Genomics Workbench v. 24 (Qiagen, USA) using the pipeline by (Pecman et al. 2022). Consensus genome sequences were reconstructed by iterative read mapping to the most similar reference sequence of the virus obtained from NCBI GenBank. To check for WCLaVs in watermelon seeds sold in Slovenia, we tested five seed samples from Sugar Baby, Crimstar F1, and Crimson Sweet (three lots) by RT-PCR. We also tested four leaf samples from plants grown from these seeds at 3-5 true leaves stage. Both viruses were found in all seed and leaf extracts. However, mechanical inoculations with the sap of two samples (plants grown from infected seed sample and sample D760/24) on several commonly used indicator plants including Chenopodium quinoa, Capsicum annuum, Nicotiana clevelandii, Nicotiana glutinosa, Nicotiana benthamiana, Nicotiana tabacum cv. White Burley, Nicotiana rustica, Datura stramonium, Cucurbita pepo cv. Bianca di Trieste, and Cucurbita maxima did not result in their infection. Retrospective analyses of our HTS data of two watermelon and 84 other cucurbits samples from previous years showed WCLaV-1 and WCLaV-2 reads in two pooled samples (containing equal amount of RNA of each sample): one from 2018 and another from 2019. RT-PCR confirmed the presence of WCLaVs only in watermelons. The pool from 2018 was sequenced at GATC (Germany, NovaSeq 6000 S2, PE 150) and from 2019 in-house using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (UK, MinION Mk1B device, SQK-PCS108, R9 flow cell). All HTS reads are deposited in the NCBI Short Reads Archive (PRJNA1202089). This is the first report of WCLaV-1 and WCLaV-2 in Slovenia and Europe, the two viruses which were included to the Alert list of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization, due to limited knowledge about their epidemiology (EPPO 2023). Further research is necessary to determine the incidence of these viruses in Europe, elucidate their epidemiology, symptoms association and their potential impact on the production of watermelons in the region.
