Article Synopsis
- Kudzu, a plant native to Southeastern Asia, is now a significant invasive weed in the Southern U.S., particularly in Mississippi, where a kudzu patch showing virus-like symptoms was studied.
- Researchers isolated and characterized a new potyvirus in the kudzu, provisionally named kudzu chlorotic ring blotch virus (KudCRBV), which is closely related to the wisteria vein mosaic virus (WVMV).
- KudCRBV can be transmitted by aphids and mechanical methods, and a survey showed multiple kudzu patches infected with this virus in northern Mississippi.
