Identification of Resistance to Potato yellow mosaic virus-Trinidad Isolate (PYMV-TT) Among Lycopersicon Species

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

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...

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...

Mutational analysis of potato yellow mosaic geminivirus.

Mutations have been inserted into the virion and complementary sense ORFs encoding proteins with M(r)s in excess of 9 kDa of both DNA A and DNA B of potato yellow mosaic geminivirus (PYMV). Wild-type and mutant monomeric clones were tested for their ability to replicate, produce PYMV-specific DNA, spread and cause symptoms in Nicotiana benthamiana plants following biolistic inoculation. Dimeric...

Heterologous Expression of Potato Virus Y Coat Protein, Isolate Pot187

Background: The advent of recombinant DNA technology has facilitated heterologous expression of proteins from various sources in different host systems including Escherichia coli. If a plant virus coat protein is expressed in the bacterium it can be used as the antigen for antibody preparation. Such a recombinant antigen preparation can be particularly useful where equipment such as ultracentri...
