Strongylodon macrobotrys: new host of soybean mosaic virus in Brazil.

Strongylodon macrobotrys, commonly known as the jade vine, emerald vine, or turquoise jade vine, is a species of Fabaceae native to the Philippines. The plants have blue-green color inflorescences, which makinge them one of the most admired ornamental plants in Brazil (Muniz et al. 2015).

Natural Infection Rate of Known -Susceptible Hosts and the Influence of the Host Plant on the Virus Relationship With MEAM1.

(ToCV; genus , family ) was identified in tomato crops in São Paulo State, Brazil, in 2006. Management strategies to control external sources of inoculum are necessary, because chemical control of the whitefly vector Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) has not efficiently prevented virus infections and no commercial tomato varieties or hybrids are resistant to this crinivirus. We first evaluated the natural infection rate of some known wild and cultivated ToCV-susceptible hosts and their attractiveness for MEAM1 oviposition.

Molecular and biological characterization of a putative new sobemovirus infecting Physalis peruviana.

Physalis peruviana is a perennial solanaceous plant that has recently been established as a commercial crop in Brazil. This work reports the near-complete genome sequence, particle morphology, and plant host responses to a putative new sobemovirus, named "physalis rugose mosaic virus". The virus, characterized by isometric particles of ca.
