First Report of Tomato spotted wilt virus in Sweet Pepper in Taiwan

Tomato spotted wilt virus

Tomato spotted wilt virus.

Growers in Georgia first noted problems in their peppers and onions during the last week of March 1989. Thrips populations combined with further field symptoms and the verification of the disease triggered a massive insecticide spray program in Georgia. Monitor was first used in early May followed by combinations of Orthene, Cygon and Thiodan. Most fields had less than 1% infection prompting a ...

Udc 632.3:632.51:632.9(439) Investigation on Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus Infecting Pepper Plants in Hungary

In Hungary resurgence of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) frequently causes heavy crop losses in pepper production since the mid nineties. Management of TSWV control was first directed against the thrips (using different insecticides or plastic traps), and against weeds as host plants of the virus and the thrips. Later on Tsw resistance gene was introduced from Capsicum chinense PI 152225 and P...

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus on Peanuts

I the last decade, tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) has become widely distributed across Alabama on many field, vegetable, and floral crops. About 300 plant species, mainly broadleafs, are hosts of TSWV. In addition to peanut, other important crops grown in the Southeast that are susceptible to this virus include tomato, pepper, potato, cucurbits, lettuce, eggplant, and tobacco. Chrysanthemum, ...

Tomato spotted wilt virus particle morphogenesis in plant cells.

A model for the maturation of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) particles is proposed, mainly based on results with a protoplast infection system, in which the chronology of different maturation events could be determined. By using specific monoclonal and polyclonal antisera in immunofluorescence and electron microscopy, the site of TSWV particle morphogenesis was determined to be the Golgi syst...
