Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an isometric virus which infects a wide range of hosts in the temperate regions of the world (Kaper & Waterworth, 1981). CMV genomic R N A s consist of four components (mol. wt. 1.09, 0-98, 0.71 and 0.33, all x 106). The three largest components carry all the information required for virus replication, whereas the fourth component corresponds to the part of the ge...

Molecular and biological characteristics of an isolate of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from Glycine soja (wild soybean), named as CMV-209, was examined in this study. Comparison of nucleotide sequences and phylogenetic analyses of CMV-209 with the other CMV strains revealed that CMV-209 belonged to CMV subgroup I. However, CMV-209 showed some genetic distance from the CMV strains assigned to sub...

Genetic bottlenecks are stochastic events that limit genetic variation in a population and result in founding populations that can lead to genetic drift. Evidence of past genetic bottlenecks in numerous biological systems, from mammals to viruses, has been described. In this study, we used an artificial population of Cucumber mosaic virus consisting of 12 restriction enzyme marker-bearing mutan...

We have found that small-angle X-ray solution scattering from spherical viruses may sometimes give information about surface organization. Experinaental data for two viruses (wild cucumber mosaic virus and polyoma virus) are ~nalysed, and it is shown that in each case the differences between the observed scattering curve and that expected from a solid sphere of uniform density may be accounted ...

The cucurbits belong to the family Cucurbitaceous (gourd family) under order Cucurbit ales which include many economically important vegetable and fruit species. Among various factors, viruses are one of factors reducing in quantity as well quality cucurbits. These crops severely affected by cucurbit mosaic disease worldwide, is major viral Considering importance disease, present investigation ...

1,4-Pentadien-3-one derivatives derived from curcumin possess excellent inhibitory activity against plant viruses. On the basis of this finding, a series of novel 1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives containing a 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety were designed and synthesized, and their structures confirmed by IR, ¹H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The antiviral activities of the title ...

Viral diseases are the main adversaries of country bean ( Lablab purpureus Lin.) production in Bangladesh. Potyviruses and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) have been reported leaves that displayed virus-like symptoms. This study looked at growth yield plants had treated with Trichoderma asperellum to control viruses. T. -treated exhibited decreased disease incidence up 91% a drop vector population 9...
