Received: 13 May 2020; Accepted: 15 July 2020; Published: date Abstract: Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner and have been extensively studied vis-à-vis their structure, taxonomy, evolution, diagnosis, transmission and molecular interactions with hosts. This comprehensive review exclusively discusses potyviruses and their transmission by aphid vectors, specifically in the light of several virus, aphid and plant factors, and how their interplay influences potyviral binding in aphids, aphid behavior and fitness, host plant biochemistry, virus epidemics, and transmission bottlenecks. We present the heatmap of the global distribution of potyvirus species, variation in the potyviral coat protein gene, and top aphid vectors of potyviruses. Lastly, we examine how the fundamental understanding of these multi-partite interactions through multi-omics approaches is already contributing to, and can have future implications for, devising effective and sustainable management strategies against aphid- transmitted potyviruses to global agriculture.

Present study was conducted to investigate the possibility of infection of Lupinus albus (Lupine) with Bean yellow mosaic virus. Virus isolate was identified by detection of the coat protein gene amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and also via Chenopodium Amaranticolor as a diagnostic host plant. Results showed that infection can be induced under greenhouse conditions and infected plants showed a considerable level of mosaic symptoms. As disease development in infected plants is always associated with physiological and chemical changes, some metabolic alterations parameters have been evaluated like photosynthetic pigment contents, total carbohydrate content, total soluble protein, total protein, total free amino acid, proline induction, total phenolics, salicylic acid, and abscisic acid content in healthy and infected lupine plants. Results showed a great variation in all the biochemical categories in Lupinus albus infected with bean yellow mosaic virus as compared to healthy plants.

Lack of standing cereal stubble or uneven emergence makes pulse crops particularly vulnerable to early aphid infections • Relatively mild and dry conditions during the start of the season favoured aphid multiplication in the faba bean crops and a fast spread of virus from initial infection foci • Co-infections of BYMV and Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) caused particularly severe symptoms in several crops • Both BYMV and AMV are non-persistently transmitted viruses that require only a short probing period by a viruliferous aphid to infect a plant. Slow-acting insecticides like imidacloprid applied to seed will not prevent infection of non-persistently

The initial source of the disease can be from the seed, the soil, the pulse stubble and self-sown seedlings, or in some cases, other plant species. Once the disease is present, the source is then from within the crop itself. The impact of disease on grain quality in pulses can be far greater than yield loss. This must be accounted for in thresholds because in pulses, visual quality has a significant impact on market price. A plant disease may be devastating at certain times and yet, under other conditions, it may have little impact.

  • Bean Common Mosaic Virus Isolated from Mungbean (Vigna Radiata) in Thailand
    184 BEAN COMMON MOSAIC VIRUS ISOLATED FROM MUNGBEAN (VIGNA RADIATA) IN THAILAND Tsuneo TSUCHIZAKI 11, Mitsuro IWAKI 2\ Porn pod THONGMEEARKOM 3\ Nonglak SARINDU 41 , and Nualchan DEEMA 41 Abstract A seed-borne, aphid-transmitted virus was found infecting mungbean (Vigna radiata) in various regions of Thailand. The pathogen was seed-borne in mungbean and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The plants showing systemic symptoms by mechanical inoculation of the virus were limited to the Leguminosae. Infectivity of crude sap of leaves was lost by heating at 50-60°C for 10 minutes, by diluting to 10-'-10-4 , and by aging at room temperature for 4-8 days. The virus consisted of flexuous filaments about 750 nm in length and was transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner. In double-diffusion tests in agar gel plates containing 0.5% lithium 3,5-diiodosalicylate, the virus reacted strongly with antisera to bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) isolated from bean, blackeye cowpea mosaic virus, and azuki bean mosaic virus. Based on host range studies, symptoms, seed and vector transmission, serology, and particle morphology, the virus was identified as a strain of BCMV. 1. Introduction Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) isolated from mungbean (Vigna radiata) in Iran was described by Kaiser and Mossahebi (3). This virus causes the most important disease affecting mungbeans in Iran. In 1979, mungbean plants showing mosaic symptoms were observed in most areas where the crop was cultivated in Thailand. A virus was isolated from these plants and identified as a strain of BCMV. This paper reports the identification and characterization of the virus.

There are several insect-transmitted viruses that are prevalent and periodically injuri- ous to pulse crops in the NP&PNW and elsewhere in North America. Others are currently of minor concern, occurring over limited areas or sporadically. Others are serious constraints for pulses elsewhere in the world and are not currently known in North America, but have the potential to be introduced with significant economic consequences.

  • List of Genes in Phaseolus Vulgaris for Resistance to Viruses
    LIST OF GENES IN PHASEOLUS VULGARIS FOR RESISTANCE TO VIRUSES R. Provvidenti New York State Agricultural Experiment Station Cornell University, Geneva, NY 14456 Since 1940, a number of studies have been conducted in the USA and abroad to elucidate the inheritance of resistance to viral diseases of Phaseolus vulgaris L. Here, the 26 known single genes for resistance to 16 viruses are tabulated and pertinent references included. Symbols are proposed for genes conferring resistance to alfalfa mosaic virus, bean pod mottle virus, bean southern mosaic virus, beet curly top virus, and tobacco ringspot virus. No symbols were previously assigned to these genes. The symbol byji has been replaced with cyy, since the severe strain of bean yellow mosaic virus is now regarded as a strain of clover yellow vein virus.
