Occurrence and serology of a mosaic disease of faba bean in Himachal Pradesh, India [Vicia faba]

On the basis of host range and behavior in sap and serology, a mosaic disease of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was found to be caused by a potyvirus in Himachal Pradesh, India. The virus was transmitted by Myzus persicae Sulz., Brevicoryne brassicae L. and Aphis fabae Scop. through sap to some members o...

Summary:On the basis of host range and behavior in sap and serology, a mosaic disease of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was found to be caused by a potyvirus in Himachal Pradesh, India. The virus was transmitted by Myzus persicae Sulz., Brevicoryne brassicae L. and Aphis fabae Scop. through sap to some members of families Leguminosae. Chenopodiaceae, Solanaceae, Compositae and Iridiaceae. The virus had a thermal inactivation point between 60 and 65 C, dilution end point between 10-4 and 10-5, and longevity in faba bean sap of 3 and 5 days at room and refrigeration temperatures, respectively. Electron microscopic studies conducted previously indicated that the virus was a member of the potyvirus group. This has been confirmed serologically
