Five isolates of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from Lilium sp. (lily), which were isolated from specimens in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, were unable to support satellite RNA (satRNA) accumulation. In order to map the CMV sequences that are involved in satRNA support, HL-CMV (Japanese lily isolate), Y-CMV (ordinary strain) and Y-satellite RNA (Y-sat) were used as the source material. The pseudorecomb...

A four-year survey (2012–2015) was carried out to examine the genetic diversity of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolates infecting tomato, as well presence and their satellite RNAs (satRNAs), collecting a total 226 samples throughout most important growing regions in Serbia. Besides CMV-like symptoms, collected also exhibited more severe such systemic necrosis leaves, branches stems, accompanied...

S 5 CHAPTER I: Deletion of the C-Terminal 33 Amino Acids of Cucumber Mosaic 7 Virus Movement Protein Enables a Chimeric Brome Mosaic Virus to Move from Cell

Cucumber mosaic virus strain K8 (K8-CMV), originally isolated in NW Italy from Cucumis metuliferus, was sent to us by Dr. Lisa after being passaged and multiplied in tobacco. Northern blots to probes against Fny-CMV (subgroup I) and Ls-CMV (subgroup II) showed K8-CMV to belong to subgroup I of CMV isolates (1). In agarose gel electrophoresis of virion encapsidated RNAs a fifth RNA was found, sh...

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has become a major limiting factor in snap bean production in the Great Lakes region of North America, and epidemics have occurred more frequently since the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, was introduced. Major aphid vectors of CMV epidemics were identified by statistically relating their temporal dispersal trends to the incidence of CMV. Alates were monitor...

This chapter presents a summary of the results of experiments conducted in Alabama and Florida over a five year period to evaluate strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for induction of resistance against insect-transmitted diseases on field-grown cucumber and tomato. Experiments with cucumber demonstrated that treatment with PGPR significantly reduced the incidence of wilt sym...

A substantial relationship between cucumber viruses 3 and 4 and certain members of the tobacco mosaic virus group may be demonstrated by a comparison of their physicochemical properties and by serological tests (l-3). However, the test which would establish conclusively kinship between these nucleoproteins, namely the immunization of a plant diseased with cucumber virus 3 or 4 against infection...
