A MOSAIC DISEASE OF WATERMELON AT LAJAS VALLEY

Inheritance of resistance to zucchini yellow mosaic virus and watermelon mosaic virus in watermelon.

High resistance to zucchini yellow mosaic virus-China strain (ZYMV-CH) and moderate resistance to watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) were found in a selection of PI 595203 (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus), an Egusi type originally collected in Nigeria. Mixed inoculations showed primarily that these two viruses have no cross-protection. This fact may explain the high frequency of mixed infection ofte...

First Complete Genome Sequence of a Watermelon Mosaic Virus Isolated from Watermelon in the United States.

Watermelon mosaic virus was first reported in 1965 from the Rio Grande Valley, TX. We report here the first complete genome sequence of a watermelon mosaic virus isolate from watermelon collected from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

Management of Watermelon Mosaic Virus Disease by Use of Leaf Extracts of Some Medicinal Plants

Accepted : August, 2009 The complexity of many virus diseases has led to the development of a large number of approaches for their control. The use of chemical insecticides at large scale has caused serious environmental problems. However, permanent elimination of any significant amount of broad spectrum synthetic pesticide also cannot be adopted. Thus new pesticides which can meet different st...

Distribution of Watermelon Mosaic Viruses 1 and 2 in Florida

Watermelon mosaic viruses 1 and 2 (WMV-1 and WMV-2) have both been collected in south and central Florida, but WMV-1 has been most prevalent in the southern and WMV-2 in the central counties. All WMV infections sampled from 1964 to 1969 in Collier and Hendry coun ties of south Florida were caused by WMV-1. Melothria pendula L., a native perennial cucurbitaceous weed, was found to be an over win...
