Resistance of Capsicum annuum ‘Avelar’ to pepper mottle potyvirus and alleviation of this resistance by co-infection with cucumber mosaic cucumovirus are associated with virus movement

Benzothiadiazole (BTH) induces resistance to Pepper golden mosaic virus (PepGMV) in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.).

Pepper is an economically important crop in many countries around the world but it is susceptible to many diseases. In Mexico, diseases caused by bipartite begomoviruses have emerged as important problems in pepper. Several control strategies have been explored wiht little success; most of them are based on the avoidance of virus transmission and the breeding for resistance. Abiotic inducers ca...

Pepper yellow mosaic virus, a new potyvirus in sweetpepper, Capsicum annuum Brief Report

A potyvirus was found causing yellow mosaic and veinal banding in sweetpepper in Central and Southeast Brazil. The sequence analysis of the 3′ terminal region of the viral RNA revealed a coat protein of 278 amino acids, followed by 275 nucleotides in the 3′-untranslated region preceding a polyadenylated tail. The virus shared 77.4% coat protein amino acid identity with Pepper severe mosaic viru...

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

Agro-ecological incidence and severity of Pepper veinal mottle virus, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae, on cultivated pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in Nigeria

A survey for the agro-ecological distribution of Pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV) (Family Potyviridae, genus Potyvirus) its incidence and severity on cultivated pepper was conducted between 2003 to 2005 in six agro-ecological zones in Nigeria, comprising the major pepper producing areas of the humid forest, derived savanna, southern Guinea savanna, mid-altitude, northern Guinea savanna and Sud...

Inheritance of resistance to Pepper yellow mosaic virus in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum.

We investigated inheritance of resistance to Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV) in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum accessions UENF 1616 (susceptible) crossed with UENF 1732 (resistant). Plants from generations P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1:1, and BC1:2 were inoculated and the symptoms were evaluated for 25 days. Subsequently, an area under the disease progress curve was calculated and subjected to gener...
