Arabis mosaic virus

Family   : Secoviridae
Genus    : Nepovirus
Acronym  : ArMV

Introduction

Arabis mosaic virus is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Comoviridae. It is readily sap-transmissible, has a wide host range, infects the seed of many host plants. Ash ring and line pattern virus, raspberry yellow dwarf virus, rhubarb mosaic virus, forsythia yellow net virus, probably jasmine yellow blotch virus are few synonyms.

Major Diseases

Yellow dwarf Disease/Mosaic and Yellow crinkle Disease/Stunting Disease

Geographical Distribution

Himachal Pradesh.

Particle Morphology

Virus has isometric particles about 25-27 nm in diameter.

Transmission Method

Transmitted by a vector nematode Xiphinema bakeri, X. coxi, X. diversicaudatum; Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by contact between plants; transmitted by seed.

Detection

Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) were detected by ELISA and RT-PCR using virus-specific antibodies and primers.

Host Range and Symptomatology
