Squash Mosaic Virus in Muskmelon Seed Distributed Commercially in Ontario
نویسنده
چکیده
The of a virus similar to the ringspot strain of squash mosaic virus is reported in muskmelon (gxmnis melo L.). The virus was found in seedlings grown in the greenhouse from seed of the cultivar Iroquois obtained commercially in Canada. Evidence of transmission of the virus through the roots of neighboring plants was obtained in a greenhouse test. occurrence

متن کاملDegenerate Primers Facilitate the Detection and Identification of Potyviruses From the Northwest Region of Iran
Background: Potyviruses are accounted for 40% of viral diseases of various crops including vegetables and legumes. Potyviruses can be transmitted through plant sap, seeds and many aphid species. Due to ease of spread of these viruses detection of such viruses are crucial as to the control of the incited diseases. Objectives: This study compared the efficiencies of two couples of primers in the...
متن کاملMovement of coat protein genes from a commercial virus-resistant transgenic squash into a wild relative.
We monitored pollen-mediated transgene dissemination from commercial transgenic squash CZW-3 into its wild relative Cucurbita pepo ssp. ovifera var. texana (C. texana). Transgenic squash CZW-3 expresses the neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) gene and the coat protein (CP) genes of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), and Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV); thereby, i...

Ali, A., Mohammad, O., and Khattab, A. 2012. Distribution of viruses infecting cucurbit crops and isolation of potential new virus-like sequences from weeds in Oklahoma. Plant Dis. 96:243-248. Field surveys were conducted from 2008 to 2010 to detect and determine the incidence of viruses in the major cucurbit-growing areas of Oklahoma. In total, 1,049 symptomatic leaf samples (890 from cucurbit...
