Untersuchungen über das Verhalten zentral- und südamerikanischer Kartoffel-Species nach Infektion mit dem Rippenbräune-Stamm des Y-Virus (RBV)
Effect Of Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus on Twelve Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultiwars
Grain yields and growing season symptoms were recorded for 12 hard red spring wheat cultivars that were infected in the seedling stage with wheat streak mosaic virus. Significant yield differences among the cultivars were noted. Yields were higher In those cultivars with mild symptoms of WSMV
Interactions between a seed-borne strain of cucumber mosaic cucumovirus and its lupin host
The relationship between time of inoculation with cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) and the growth, seed production and rate of seed transmission of virus in lupin (Lupinus angustifolius cv. Illyarrie) was studied in field-grown plants. Plants inoculated at the seedling stage (2 days post-emergence) showed 45% mortality. Plants infected through the seed were more stunted than plants inoculated at the seedling stage. Plants inoculated up to the mid-vegetative growth stage (58 days post-emergence) yielded less-than-or-equal-to 27% of the dry matter and less-than-or-equal-to 9% of the seed of healthy plants. Late inoculation (114 days post-emergence) did not affect dry matter yield, but reduced seed yield to 75% of that of healthy plants. Rate of seed transmission depended on the time of inoculation of plants. The maximum rate was 24.5% for plants that were inoculated at the mid-vegetative growth stage (58 days post-emergence). However, early inoculation caused a large reduction in seed yield, and it was shown that plants inoculated at the beginning of flowering (94 days post-emergence) produced greater numbers of infected progeny than plants inoculated at earlier or later times. No relationship was observed between seed weight and transmission of CMV. Infectious CMV was recovered from the embryo, but not from the testa
