First report of Ornithogalum mosaic virus and Ornithogalum virus 2 in New Zealand

The molecular cloning and nucleotide sequencing of the 3'-terminal region of Ornithogalum mosaic virus.

DNA complementary to the 3'-terminal 3684 nucleotides of the Ornithogalum mosaic potyvirus (OMV) genome was cloned and sequenced. The sequence consisted of a single large open reading frame which probably starts upstream of the cloned region. By comparison to other sequenced potyviruses, it was estimated that the clone contained the 3' non-coding (3'-NC) region, the coat protein (CP) gene and t...

Complete Genome Sequence of Ornithogalum Mosaic Virus Infecting Gladiolus spp. in South Korea

We report here the first complete genome sequence of Ornithogalum mosaic virus (OrMV) isolated from Taean, South Korea, in 2011, which was obtained by next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing. The sequence information provided here may serve as a potential reference for other OrMV isolates.

Genetic diversity and molecular evolution of Ornithogalum mosaic virus based on the coat protein gene sequence

Ornithogalum mosaic virus (OrMV) has a wide host range and affects the production of a variety of ornamentals. In this study, the coat protein (CP) gene of OrMVwas used to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of this virus. The 36 OrMV isolates fell into two groups which have significant subpopulation differentiation with an FST value of 0.470. One isolate was identifie...

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

Induction of bulb maturity of Ornithogalum thyrsoides

The influence of bulb maturity at bulb harvest on growth and flowering response of Ornithogalum thyrsoides Jacq. ‘Chesapeake Starlight’ was investigated. Experiments were designed to determine if bulb maturity can be induced by bulb storage temperatures and whether bulb maturity can be evaluated by flowering responses. Bulbs with all senesced leaves at harvest were considered ‘‘mature’’ or with...
