density-gradient centrifugation. ISCO fractionator scanning patterns indicated a high degree of purity but serological results revealed the presence of some host contaminates. The yield of virus was abeut 2mgfleOg of bro'ad bean leaves. The titer of the antiserum against isolate No. 30 was 1!2048 by ring precipitin tests. Although the iutact virus particles could n6t diffuse in agar gel plates,...

Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), genus Potyvirus, has an extensive natural host range encompassing both dicots and monocots. Its phylogenetic groups were considered to consist of an ancestral generalist group and six specialist groups derived from this generalist group during plant domestication. Recombination was suggested to be playing a role in BYMV's evolution towards host specialization. H...

Transgene expression was evaluated for Gladiolus plants transformed with either the CaMV 35S, double CaMV 35S, rolD, or Arabidopsis UBQ3 promoter controlling the uidA or bean yellow mosaic virus coat protein gene in either the sense or antisense orientation to determine differences in expression for plants grown in the greenhouse and outdoors for two years. There wasmore variability in GUS expr...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been applied to plant virology since 2009. NGS provides highly efficient, rapid, low cost DNA, or RNA high-throughput sequencing of the genomes of plant viruses and viroids and of the specific small RNAs generated during the infection process. These small RNAs, which cover frequently the whole genome of the infectious agent, are 21-24 nt long and are known a...

Genomic components of the begomovirus causing yellow mosaic disease (YMD) in soybean in Delhi were cloned, sequenced and infectivity proved. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the virus isolate revealed more than 89% identity with Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and therefore it is designated as soybean isolate of MYMIV (MYMIV-[Sb]). Total nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence an...

The nucleotide sequence (5966 nucleotides) of cDNA clones of strawberry mild yellow edge-associated potexvirus was determined. The genome contains six open reading frames (ORFs) encoding putative proteins with Mrs of 149,423, 25,344, 11,576, 8079, 25,714 and 11,216. In the first three putative proteins and the coat protein considerable similarity was found to comparable polypeptides of the pote...
