First Molecular Evidence of the Occurrence of a Pea Mosaic Strain of Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus in Verbena x Hybrida

Verbena x hybrida is an ornamental annual used in rock gardens, as an edging plant, and in hanging baskets. It comes in a variety of colors and grows approximately 6 to 10 inches tall. Verbena 'Lavender Shades' plants from California showing leaf mosaic symptoms tested positive for potyvirus in an antigen-coated plate ELISA using our potyvirus broad spectrum reacting PTY-1 monoclonal as the det...

P3N-PIPO of Clover yellow vein virus exacerbates symptoms in pea infected with white clover mosaic virus and is implicated in viral synergism.

Mixed infection of pea (Pisum sativum) with Clover yellow vein virus (ClYVV) and White clover mosaic virus (WClMV) led to more severe disease symptoms (a phenomenon called viral synergism). Similar to the mixed ClYVV/WClMV infection, a WClMV-based vector encoding P3N-PIPO of ClYVV exacerbated the disease symptoms. Infection with the WClMV vector encoding ClYVV HC-Pro (a suppressor of RNA silenc...

An appropriate method to determine the interaction type of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV)

The occurrence of viral co-infection is a common phenomenon in cultivated and native plant species and can alter the dynamics of virus infection. In this study, disease progress was examined in single and mixed infections of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) by measuring the rate of symptom development, disease severity and area under disease progress curve on infe...

Factors affecting white clover persistence in New Zealand pastures

Better persistence and reliability of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is critical in achieving a more competitive New Zealand farming industry. To persist, white clover must establish well and withstand the accumulated stresses of competition from associated grasses, grazing, variable soil fertility, drought, plus pest and disease pressure. These factors vary markedly with environment and fa...
