Three strains of bean yellow mosaic virus: symptoms and accumulation in eight pea cultivars (Pisum sativum L.)

A pea mosaic strain and a bean strain of bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) were isolated from naturally infected pea and broad bean plants and named BYMV-Ps and BYMV-Vf, respectively. A third strain of BYMV isolated from Gladiolus (BYMV-G) was obtained from Denmark which was distinguished from the two...

Description
Summary:A pea mosaic strain and a bean strain of bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) were isolated from naturally infected pea and broad bean plants and named BYMV-Ps and BYMV-Vf, respectively. A third strain of BYMV isolated from Gladiolus (BYMV-G) was obtained from Denmark which was distinguished from the two above strains serologically and by its symptoms in test plants. BYMV-Ps and BYMV-Vf caused yellow mosaic symptoms and green mosaic symptoms, respectively, in eight pea cultivars tested, but the concentration of BYMV varied among the cultivars. BYMV-G caused mild mosaic or vein clearing in peas. A need to improve resistance to BYMV in the Finnish pea varieties was recognized.
