Geminiviruses are small plant viruses that encapsidate a single-stranded circular DNA and form double-stranded DNAs in infected plants. Infection of economically important hosts with cloned DNAs of geminiviruses frequently has been difficult. Four isolates of bipartite bean-infecting geminiviruse...

The number and weight of seeds produced per plant were significantly (P = 0.01) reduced, 47.5 and 56.3%, respectively, in Diacol-Calima bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants infected with bean southern mosaic virus (BSMV). The number of pods per plant, on the contrary, was often higher in systemically...

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose threats to conservation and public health. Here, we apply the definition of EIDs used in the medical and veterinary fields to botany and highlight a series of emerging plant diseases. We include EIDs of cultivated and wild plants, some of which are of sign...
The inheritance of the ability of Sogatodes oryzicola to support replication of the rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV) was studied by following the segregation of progeny of crosses between insects of known pedigree and known ability to support virus replication and transmission. Virus transmission to...

A new disease of rice, known as ‘entorchamiento’ (crinkling), was first noticed in the Department of Meta, Colombia, in 1991. Symptoms include seedling death, foliar striping and severe plant malformation. Tissue extracts and purified preparations from diseased rice plants, contained virus-like p...

The cultivation of calopo, Calopogonium mucunoides, as a promising forage legume for the lowland tropics, was hindered by its susceptibility to a severe yellow mosaic disease observed in the Eastern Plains of Colombia. An isometric virus ca. 28 nm in diameter was observed by electron microscopy i...

A virus with filamentous particles approximately 750 nm long was isolated from African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) with `chlorotic ring' leaf symptoms in south-western Colombia. The virus was mechanically transmitted from oil palm to brachiaria, maize, sorghum, and sugarcane (Gramineae) but not ...

A tymovirus was isolated from passion fruit plants with conspicuous yellow mosaic leaf symptoms in Colombia. Partial sequencing of its genome showed that this virus is distinct from other tymoviruses for which nucleotide sequences are available; it had only 60 76% homology with the closest relate...

Tomato yellow mosaic was first described in 1963, as a disease caused by a geminivirus transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in Venezuela. In 1981 and 1985, Tomato yellow mosaic virus (ToYMV) was reported to occasionally infect potato plants growing in the proximity of tomato plantings affec...
