| viruses in maize and johnsongrass in southern ohio. | the two major u.s. maize viruses, maize dwarf mosaic virus (mdmv) and maize chlorotic dwarf virus (mcdv), emerged in southern ohio and surrounding regions in the 1960s and caused significant losses. planting resistant varieties and changing cultural practices has dramatically reduced virus impact in subsequent decades. current information on the distribution, diversity, and impact of known and potential u.s. maize disease-causing viruses is lacking. to assess the current reservoir of viruses pre ... | 2014 | 24918609 |
| sequence diversity of wheat mosaic virus isolates. | wheat mosaic virus (wmov), transmitted by eriophyid wheat curl mites (aceria tosichella) is the causal agent of high plains disease in wheat and maize. wmov and other members of the genus emaravirus evaded thorough molecular characterization for many years due to the experimental challenges of mite transmission and manipulating multisegmented negative sense rna genomes. recently, the complete genome sequence of a nebraska isolate of wmov revealed eight segments, plus a variant sequence of the nu ... | 2016 | 26590326 |
