First Report of Moroccan Watermelon Mosaic Potyvirus in Zucchini in Italy

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...

Study of resistance to cucumber mosaic virus watermelon mosaic virus and zucchini yellow mosaic virus in melon cultivars

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.

Engineering zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus as a non-pathogenic vector for expression of heterologous proteins in cucurbits.

Plant virus vectors provide an attractive biotechnological tool for the transient expression of foreign genes in whole plants. As yet there has been no use of recombinant viruses for the improvement of commercial crops. This is mainly because the viruses used to create vectors usually cause significant yield loss and can be transmitted in the field. A novel attenuated zucchini yellow mosaic pot...

Short communication UDC 578.8:633.41(497.5) FIRST REPORT OF BEET MOSAIC POTYVIRUS ON SUGAR BEET IN CROATIA

Introduction Species of the genus Beta are recognized as sources of various viruses. A con­ siderable number o f viruses have been isolated from the species Beta vulgaris var. saccharifera (sugar beet) (Sutic et al. 1999). One of the viruses occurring in this plant all over the world is beet mosaic potyvirus (BtMV). This virus belongs to Potyviridae, a taxonomic family of easily aphid-transmitt...
