The complete genome sequence (6,423 nucleotides [nt]) of an emerging cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) isolate on cucumber in North America was determined through deep sequencing of small (sRNA) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The virus shares 99% nucleotide sequence identity with the Asian genotype but only 90% with the European genotype.

In North Carolina, approximately 8% of the cucumber (Cucumis sativus) yield is lost to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) (Main and Gurtz, 1989). No resistance was found in cucumber after screening of 900 cultigens for resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 3 (Walters, 1991). African horned cucumber (Cucumis metuliferus) has resistance to M. incognita (Fassuliotis, 1967; Walters, 1991), a...

Leaves of tobacco plant cv. Xanthi-nc inoculated or systemically infected with potato virus Y, cucumber mosaic virus, potato virus X, potato aucuba mosaic virus or alfalfa mosaic virus showed varying degrees of resistance to infection with tobacco mosaic virus. The resistance was correlated with the appearance of at least three proteins not present in healthy plants. These were the proteins tha...

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Cucumber mosaic virus expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) were used to probe the effects of salicylic acid (SA) on the cell biology of viral infection. Treatment of tobacco with SA restricted TMV.GFP to single-epidermal cell infection sites for at least 6 d post inoculation but did not affect infection sites of Cucumber mosaic virus expressing GFP. Microinj...

Faba bean is a major grain legume widely cultivated in many countries.There are a large number of viruses damaging faba bean crop. In this survey, during 2011-2012 growing seasons, to determine the distribution of Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV), Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV), 630 samples were collec...

The main objective of this work was to investigate the ability of Aphis gossypii and Myzus persicae to transmit Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) singly and mixed with two potyviruses (Papaya ringspot virus – type W, PRSV-W and Zucchini yellow mosaic virus, ZYMV), Pinto, Z.V.; Rezende, J.A.M.;Yuki,V.A.; Piedade, S.M.S.Ability ofAphis gossypii andMyzus persicae to transmitCucumbermosaic virus in singl...

The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) suppressor 2b co-localizes with AGO4 in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of Arabidopsis thaliana Biochemical fractionation of A. thaliana cellular extracts revealed that 2b and AGO4 coexist in multiple size exclusions. 2b transgenic A. thaliana exhibited an enhanced accumulation of 24nt siRNAs from flowering wageningen (FWA) and other heterochromatic loci. These...
