Big-vein disease (BVD) is a widespread and economically damaging disease in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Typical symptoms are chlorotic clearing around leaf veins, leaf deformations, and impaired head development. In this research, we studied the relationship between symptom intensity and protein and viral RNA accumulation in infected plants. Naturally infected lettuce plants, from the field or greenhouse, were classified according to their symptomatology: mild, moderate, severe, and symptomless. Coat protein accumulation was evaluated by a double antibody sandwich/enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA), and RNA levels were studied by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantitative RT-PCR. Virus coat protein accumulation did not differ for the two viruses associated with this disease among lettuce plants showing different symptom severity. Similarly, abundance of Mirafiori lettuce big-vein virus (MLBVV)-RNA3 or Lettuce big-vein associated virus (LBVaV)-RNA-2 were not different (P > 0.05) for diverse big vein disease severity rating scales. This suggests that symptom severity expressed by big-vein diseased lettuce plants did not necessarily reflect the accumulation of viruses associated with this disease in the host. Therefore, lettuce plants showing mild symptoms of BVD do not necessarily present lower virus levels than plants showing more severe symptomatology. La enfermedad de las venas grandes de la lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.) es de origen viral, está ampliamente distribuida en el mundo, y provoca graves daños económicos en este cultivo. Los síntomas típicos de la enfermedad son clorosis alrededor de las venas, deformación de hojas y ausencia de formación de cabezas. En este trabajo se estudió la relación entre la intensidad de síntomas y la acumulación de proteínas y ARNs de origen viral en plantas afectadas por esta enfermedad. Lechugas infectadas naturalmente, provenientes de campo y de invernadero fueron clasificadas con sintomatología leve, intermedia, severa, y asintomáticas. La acumulación de proteínas de cubiertas virales fue evaluada utilizando DAS-ELISA (sandwich con doble anticuerpo-ensayo inmunoabsorbente ligado a enzima), y los niveles de ARN viral se estudiaron por medio de transcripción reversa-reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (RT-PCR) semicuantitativa y RT-PCR cuantitativa. No hubo diferencia en la acumulación de proteínas virales para los dos virus asociados a esta enfermedad, al comparar plantas de lechugas con distintos niveles de severidad de síntomas. De forma similar, cuando se analizó la acumulación de ARNs virales en los diferentes niveles de la escala de severidad de síntomas utilizada, no hubo diferencias (P > 0,05) en la abundancia del ARN-3 del Virus Mirafiori de las venas grandes de la lechuga (MLBVV) o el ARN-2 del Virus asociado de las venas grandes de la lechuga (LBVaV) entre estos grupos. Esto sugiere que la severidad de los síntomas expresados en plantas afectadas por esta enfermedad no se relaciona necesariamente con una mayor acumulación de los virus asociados en el hospedero. Por lo tanto, lechugas que muestran síntomas suaves o moderados de venas grandes no necesariamente presentan menor acumulación de virus que plantas que muestran sintomatología más severa.

- Abstract
Ficus benjamina, commonly known as ficus or weeping fig, is an ornamental tree from Southeast Asia in the Moraceae family. It is an evergreen species grown as an interior plant worldwide, prized for its glossy green leaves, gray stem, and multiple branches. F. benjamina can be pruned and kept as a small shrub when grown indoors, with most commercially available cultivars in the ornamental industry derived from sports and propagated cuttings (Chen et al., 2010). In October 2022, symptoms indicative of alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) infection, such as intense bright yellow spots, mottling and chlorosis were observed in leaves of F. benjamina growing in office environments in Santiago, Chile (supplementary Fig.1). Seven symptomatic and three asymptomatic plants were sampled and traced back to the same plant nursery, and only leaf tissue samples from the symptomatic plants tested positive for the presence of the AMV using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). These results were verified using reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with specific primers AMV-F and AMV-R, targeting a region of the AMV CP gene (Xu and Nie, 2006). AMV was detected in all symptomatic leaf samples, producing 351-bp amplicons in the RT-PCR assay for all samples that were positive to AMV by ELISA. No amplification product was observed when seronegative samples or non-template control was used as templates in the RT-PCR assays. Three RT-PCR amplicons were directly sequenced in both directions. BLAST analysis of these sequences showed 100% nucleotide sequence identity to an AMV isolate previously reported (GenBank Accession No. KX458469), confirming the detection of AMV in F. benjamina. This pathogen causes disease in several species, including ornamentals plant such as Viburnum tinus L. (Peña et al., 2011), peony (Belardi and Rubies, 2003), phlox (Holcomb et al., 2006), and weeds such as Cayratia japonica (Thunb.) Gagnep, Justicia procumbens L. and Veronica persica Poir. (Gao et al., 2020). F. benjamina is among the most popular ornamental indoor plants in Chile, so nurseries should ensure AMV-free plants to restrict disease incidence and prevent the spread of this virus. However, Chile lacks specific regulations for ornamental nurseries, making adherence to pest and disease recommendations voluntary, and only imported plant material requires a sanitary certificate.
