Cucurbit Leaf Crumple Virus Is Seed Transmitted in Yellow Squash ().

The traditional understanding of begomovirus transmission exclusively through the whitefly (Gennadius) has shifted with findings of seed transmission in some begomoviruses over the last decade. We investigated the seed transmissibility of cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV), a bipartite begomovirus that has recently emerged as a severe constraint for yellow squash ( L.) production in the southeastern United States.
