A virus causing ringspot of Passiflora edulis in the Ivory Coast By J. J. DE WIJS
نویسنده
چکیده
A mechanically transmissible virus causing leaf mottling and ringspotting of Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa in the Ivory Coast is described. Its particles are flexuous rods 810-830 nm long and 15 nm wide. It infects mainly species of Passifloraceae and Leguminosae; Passiflora foetida is a good diagnostic host. Aphis gossypii and Aphis spiraecola transmit the virus after brief acquisition feeds. Seed transmission was not detected. In crude sap of P. edulis, infectivity was lost after 10 min at 65-70 °C, 12-14 days at 24 °C or dilution to 10. A purification method is described, using Triton-X-100 as clarifying agent. The virus is serologically related but not identical to passionfruit woodiness virus from Queensland. The virus seems to belong to the potato virus Y group and has the cryptogram */*: */(6): E/E: S/Ap. It is designated passionfruit ringspot virus.
