abstract potato virus s is a member of the genus carlavirus in the family of flexiviridae, with curved filamentous particles 650×12 nm and positive single stranded rna genome. this virus is one of the most common viruses that infected all of potato varieties in the world. susceptible host species belong mainly to the families solanaceae, chenopodiaceae and amaranthaceae. potato virus s transmit...

We previously showed that the movement protein (MP) gene of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is functionally exchangeable for the cell-to-cell transport of the corresponding genes of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Brome mosaic virus, Prunus necrotic ringspot virus, Cucumber mosaic virus and Cowpea mosaic virus. We have analysed the capacity of the heterologous MPs to systemically transport the correspon...

Alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV) RNAs 1 and 2 with deletions in their 3' non‑translated regions (NTRs) have been previously shown to be encapsidated into virions by coat protein (CP) expressed from RNA3, indicating that the 3' NTRs of RNAs 1 and 2 are not required for virion assembly. Here, we constructed various mutants by deleting sequences within the 3' NTR of AlMV subgenomic (sg) RNA4 (same as o...

Alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV) coat protein is involved in systemic infection of host plants, and a specific mutation in this gene prevents the virus from moving into the upper uninoculated leaves. The coat protein also is required for different viral functions during early and late infection. To study the role of the coat protein in long-distance movement of AlMV independent of other vital functi...

Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is one of the most important viral diseases alfalfa plant among forage crop, causing significant annual economic losses. The agent also potential importance to other cultivars such as tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers in cases. identification phylogenetic relationships AMV were carried out by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), following bacterial ...

VEERISETTY, V., and M. K. BRAKKE. 1978. Purification of some legume carla viruses. Phytopathology 68:59-64. Purification schemes were developed which yielded 0.7 to single nucleoprotein component in rate-zonal sucrose and 1.0 mg of alfalfa latent virus (ALV) and pea streak virus equilibrium cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation. (PSV) and 0.1 to 0.3 mg of red clover vein mosaic virus ...

two hundred and thirty one leaf samples of virus infected and mosaic and as well dwarf mosaic symptoms showing maize plants from various corn fields in tehran province were collected during the growing season 2003. by performing serological tests of das-elisa, diba and tpia, using scmv, mdmv, srmv and jgmv antisera, only scmv was detected in samples, with all samples reacting strongly to the sc...

Four insects species have emerged as important pests of alfalfa in the Western United States during the past decade. Cowpea aphid has long been a resident insect of the Western United States, but became a significant alfalfa pest during the past two years. The silverleaf whitefly has been a serious pest of alfalfa since 1991. Silverleaf whitefly reduces hay yield and contaminates alfalfa hay wi...
