Interstrain recombinants were observed in the progenies of the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) reassortant L(1)L(2)F(3) containing RNAs 1 and 2 from LS-CMV and RNA 3 from Fny-CMV. We characterized these recombinants, and we found that their fixation was controlled by the nature of the replicating RNAs 1 and 2. We demonstrate that the 2b gene partially affects this fixation process, but only in the ...

Plants of Viola cornuta displaying typical virus symptoms were observed during spring 2003 in a plant nursery in Córdoba, central Argentina. Electron microscopic examinations of symptomatic leaf samples revealed the presence of isometric virus-like particles about 30 nm in diameter. Subsequent serological analysis allowed the identification of the pathogen as a subgroup I strain of Cucumber mos...

Viral diseases are major constraints to tomato, cucumber and mung bean production in most areas where these crops grown. To identify the viruses on Tajikistan, a field survey was conducted 2019. Samples of cucumber, tomato with virus-like symptoms were collected present diagnosed by RT-PCR PCR. Across all samples, very high proportion samples infected from genera Cucumovirus Potyvirus. Cucumber...

Background and Aims: Virus infections represent some of the most important diseases of lily, plants because of the devastating effects caused to the crops and the absence of effective treatments. A survey for virus diseases of lilies, revealed the occurrence of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in plants growing in Tehran province, Iran. Materials and Methods: During 2013, 50 lily samples with virus-...

Background Jatropha curcas is a drought resistant shrub native in tropical America, now widely grown in many tropical and subtropical regions for biodiesel production [1]. First reports on virus infections in Jatropha indicated the occurrence of viruses closely related to Cassava mosaic virus in India, reaching a disease incidence from 25 to 47%. This might represent a major constrain to the pr...

The levels of population diversity of three related Sindbis-like plant viruses, Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), in infections of a common host, Nicotiana benthamiana, established from genetically identical viral RNA were examined. Despite probably having a common evolutionary ancestor, the three viruses maintained different leve...

Some strains of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) induce a bright yellow/white chlorosis in tobacco instead of the light green/dark green mosaic induced by most CMV strains. This property is controlled by RNA 3 of this tripartite virus. Recombination between cDNA clones of RNA 3 from a green mosaic strain, Fny-CMV, and a chlorotic strain, M-CMV, and inoculation of infectious transcripts of the chimer...

cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) is one of widely-spread viruses of plants with the broadest host range encompassing over 1200 species. one major limiting factor for detection of the virus is unavailability of the virus-specific antibodies especially in developing countries. recombinant dna technology facilitates antibody preparation without requiring special equipment. in this study, coat protein (...

Ali, A., Mohammad, O., and Khattab, A. 2012. Distribution of viruses infecting cucurbit crops and isolation of potential new virus-like sequences from weeds in Oklahoma. Plant Dis. 96:243-248. Field surveys were conducted from 2008 to 2010 to detect and determine the incidence of viruses in the major cucurbit-growing areas of Oklahoma. In total, 1,049 symptomatic leaf samples (890 from cucurbit...

RNA 1 of the V strain of tomato aspermy virus (TAV) consists of 3410 nucleotides and contains one open reading frame (ORF) of 2982 nucleotides, resembling RNA 1 of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strains Q and Fny (68% and 66% identical, respectively) and of brome mosaic virus (BMV) (41% identical). In comparisons between amino acid sequences, three conserved regions (N-terminal, C-terminal and cen...
