Co-infection and Disease Severity of Ohio Maize dwarf mosaic virus and Maize chlorotic dwarf virus Strains

Concentration of Maize Chlorotic Mottle Virus Increased in Mixed Infections with Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus, Strain B

Coldberg, K.-B.. and Brakke, M. K. 1987. Concentration of maize chlerotic mottie virus increased in mixed infections with maize dwarf mosaic virus, strain B. Phytopathology 77: 162-167. The concentration of rnaize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) was up to chlorophyIl and a lower than normal ratio of chloroplast to cytoplasmic 5.4 times higher in plants infected with both MCMV and maize dwarf rRNA...

The Mdm1 Locus and Maize Resistance to Maize dwarf mosaic virus

Maize dwarf mosaic and sugarcane mosaic, the diseases incited by Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) and Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), are among the most important maize viral diseases worldwide (28). The two viruses are related members of the genus Potyvirus that are nonpersistently transmitted by aphids (16) and can be mechanically transmitted experimentally. They are differentiated from one ano...

Further characterization of Maize chlorotic mottle virus and its synergistic interaction with Sugarcane mosaic virus in maize

Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) was first reported in maize in China in 2009. In this study we further analyzed the epidemiology of MCMV and corn lethal necrosis disease (CLND) in China. We determined that CLND observed in China was caused by co-infection of MCMV and sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV). Phylogenetic analysis using four full-length MCMV cDNA sequences obtained in this study and th...

Inheritance of Barley yellow dwarf virus resistance in maize

With increasing winter temperatures due to climate change, Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is expected to become a prominent problem also in maize cultivation. Breeding for resistance is the best alternative to control the disease and break the transmission cycle of the virus. The objectives of our study were to (I) determine phenotypic and genotypic variation in five segregating populations o...
