Field and glasshouse experiments (3 of each) were done during 2003–06 to determine the responses of a range of genotypes belonging to 13 species of cool-season crop legumes to infection with Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV). Seed quality defects were determined and genotypes of some species were also tested for seed transmission of the virus. In field experiments, of 39 genotypes of field pea (Pisum sativum) evaluated, 15 were ranked as highly susceptible, 10 susceptible, 9 moderately resistant, and 5 resistant, while all 7 lupin species (Lupinus spp.) tested were resistant. In glasshouse sap and graft inoculations with PSbMV to genotypes not found infected in the field and 2 additional lupin species, no virus was detected in any of the 9 lupin species or in 5 field pea genotypes tested. Thus, the lupins all appeared to be non-hosts and the 5 field pea genotypes had resistance to the 2 PSbMV isolates used to inoculate them. All 14 genotypes of faba bean (Vicia faba) evaluated in the field were ranked highly susceptible, while 12 out of 16 lentil (Lens culinaris) genotypes were ranked as highly susceptible and 4 as susceptible. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) genotypes were moderately resistant (50) or susceptible (7). Once infected, plant sensitivities (symptom severities) ranged from low in some field pea and most lentil genotypes to high in most faba bean genotypes. Chickpea genotypes all were ranked as moderately sensitive. Seed lots harvested from PSbMV-infected plants of field pea, faba bean, and chickpea all showed severe seed quality defects, but lentil was usually less affected. The predominant seed symptoms were necrotic rings and line markings on the seed coat, malformation, reduced size, and splitting. Kabuli chickpea types also showed darkening of the seed coat. Seed transmission of PSbMV was detected in faba bean (0.2%) and field pea (5–30%). When PSbMV infection foci were introduced into plots of lentil cv. Nugget, the virus spread to the lentil plants and decreased shoot dry weight by 23%, seed yield by 96%, and individual seed weight by 58%. Seed transmission of PSbMV (6%) was detected in seed from the infected lentil plants. In a survey for possible viral seed symptoms, all seed lots of kabuli chickpea (5) and field pea (70), and 10 of 18 of faba bean were affected, but none of the 23 of lentil. When seedlings from 16 faba bean and 7 field pea seed lots were tested for 3 viruses, neither Broad bean stain virus nor Broad bean true mosaic virus was detected, but PSbMV was found in 5 field pea seed lots at incidences of <1–14%. PSbMV was detected in commercial field pea seed stocks of cvv. Kaspa (33) and Parafield (12) at incidences of 0.5–47% and 0.3–30%, respectively. The implications of these findings in terms of genotype susceptiblility and sensitivity to PSbMV infection and their importance for the management of PSbMV in legume crops are discussed.

Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV), a non-persistently aphid-transmitted potyvirus, has been reported in field pea (Pisum sativum L.) growing regions worldwide. In 2014, PSbMV was first identified in field peas in North Dakota. Susceptibility and yield losses attributed to PSbMV infection are influenced by viral pathotype and host genotype. Isolate ND14-1, recovered from North Dakota infected seed and identified as pathotype 4 (P4), was mechanically inoculated onto 20 field pea cultivars under greenhouse conditions. PSbMV susceptibility, number of seeds and pods per plant, yield, symptom expression, and PSbMV seed transmission rates were assessed by cultivar. A risk assessment was developed based on cultivar susceptibility, yield reduction, and PSbMV seed transmission. Risk factors were weighted based on perceived importance to commercial field pea producers. Three cultivars were classified as low risk, seven cultivars were classified as intermediate risk and ten cultivars were classified as high risk. Two of the low risk cultivars, Aragorn and Cruiser, were confirmed to be resistant to this isolate of PSbMV. Cultivar Arcadia was susceptible to PSbMV infection with mild expression of symptoms, but classified as low risk based on a low seed transmission rate and diminished yield losses. This risk assessment could prove a useful tool for growers in field pea cultivar selection where PSbMV is prevalent.

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is seed and aphid transmitted and can cause significant reductions in yield and seed quality in soybean (Glycine max). The roles in seed and aphid transmission of selected SMV-encoded proteins were investigated by constructing mutants in and chimeric recombinants between SMV 413 (efficiently aphid and seed transmitted) and an isolate of SMV G2 (not aphid or seed transmitted). As previously reported, the DAG amino acid sequence motif near the amino terminus of the coat protein (CP) was the major determinant in differences in aphid transmissibility of the two SMV isolates, and helper component proteinase (HC-Pro) played a secondary role. Seed transmission of SMV was influenced by P1, HC-Pro, and CP. Replacement of the P1 coding region of SMV 413 with that of SMV G2 significantly enhanced seed transmissibility of SMV 413. Substitution in SMV 413 of the two amino acids that varied in the CPs of the two isolates with those from SMV G2, G to D in the DAG motif and Q to P near the carboxyl terminus, significantly reduced seed transmission. The Q-to-P substitution in SMV 413 also abolished virus-induced seed-coat mottling in plant introduction 68671. This is the first report associating P1, CP, and the DAG motif with seed transmission of a potyvirus and suggests that HC-Pro interactions with CP are important for multiple functions in the virus infection cycle.

Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) was first identified in Canadian field pea (Pisum sativum L.) breeding lines in 1974. Since then, an extensive program has been underway to eradicate this virus from the breeding lines. At the Morden Research Station, nearly 2000 breeding lines were evaluated. The virus was assayed by infectivity tests using the local lesion host Chenopodium amaranticolor, and by a gel immunodiffusion test. PSbMV was detected in 1361 lines. The level of infection within lines varied from 1 to 3%. Due to the restricted extent of the virus in the breeding lines, it was possible to continue the breeding program without a serious loss in germplasm.

Field experiments provided quantitative information on the yield losses caused by virus infection within 4 different combinations of non-persistently aphid-transmitted virus and cool-season crop legume: Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) in chickpea, faba bean and lentil, and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in lentil. Virus infection foci were introduced into plots and naturally occurring aphids spread infection from these to the other plants. Plants were tagged individually when typical virus symptoms first appeared during the growing period. Paired plant comparisons between symptomatic and asymptomatic plants were made to measure different yield loss parameters. Late infection with AMV in faba bean cv. Fiord diminished shoot dry weight by 41% and seed yield by 45%, but plants infected earlier recovered sufficiently from their initial shock reaction not to produce significant yield losses. In plants of lentil cv. Matilda first showing symptoms at different times, infection with AMV decreased shoot dry weight by 74–76%, seed yield by 81–87% and individual seed weight by 10–21%, while CMV diminished shoot dry weight by 72–81%, seed yield by 80–90% and individual seed yield by 17–25%. Early infection with AMV killed plants of chickpea cv. Tyson while later infection decreased shoot dry weight by 50%, seed yield by 98% and individual seed weight by 90%. The first tentative evidence for seed transmission of AMV in faba bean is reported with a transmission rate of 0.04%.

Infection of soybean plants with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), which is transmitted by aphids and through seed, can cause significant reductions in seed production and quality. Because seedborne infections are the primary sources of inoculum for SMV infections in North America, host-plant resistance to seed transmission can limit the pool of plants that can serve as sources of inoculum. To examine the inheritance of SMV seed transmission in soybean, crosses were made between plant introductions (PIs) with high (PI88799), moderate (PI60279), and low (PI548391) rates of transmission of SMV through seed. In four F2 populations, SMV seed transmission segregated as if conditioned by two or more genes. Consequently, a recombinant inbred line population was derived from a cross between PIs 88799 and 548391 and evaluated for segregation of SMV seed transmission, seed coat mottling, and simple sequence repeat markers. Chromosomal regions on linkage groups C1 and C2 were significantly associated with both transmission of isolate SMV 413 through seed and SMV-induced seed coat mottling, and explained ≈42.8 and 46.4% of the variability in these two traits, respectively. Chromosomal regions associated with seed transmission and seed coat mottling contained homologues of Arabidopsis genes DCL3 and RDR6, which encode enzymes involved in RNA-mediated transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing.

Chickpea plants with severe yellowing and tip wilting were observed in the Cap-Bon Region of Tunisia in 2006. The viral-like symptoms resulted in yield loss of approximately 25% in some fields. A total of 110 symptomatic chickpea plants was collected from nine chickpea fields and tested at the Virology Laboratory of ICARDA, Syria for eight legume viruses using tissue-blot immunoassay (TBIA) (3). Polyclonal antisera produced at the ICARDA Virology Laboratory were used to test for Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (genus Mastrevirus, family Geminiviridae), Broad bean stain virus (genus Comovirus, family Secoviridae), Broad bean mottle virus (genus Bromovirus, family Bromoviridae), and Bean yellow mosaic virus and Pea seed borne mosaic virus (genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae). Antiserum to Beet mosaic virus (BtMV; genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) (AS-0143) was provided by the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany). In addition, three monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were used to detect Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV; genus Nanovirus, family Nanoviridae) (MAb 3-2E9) (1), potyviruses (PVAS-769 [MAb PTY 3 Potyvirus Group] American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA), and luteoviruses (MAb B-2-5G4) (2). Twenty-two of the plants tested positive with MAb PTY 3 and BtMV antisera, 56 samples reacted with MAb B-2-5G4, and eight plants with the FBNYV MAb, whereas 24 plants tested negative with all antisera. Because reactions with the BtMV antiserum were unexpected, detection of BtMV was confirmed by reverse transcription-(RT)-PCR assays using BtMV-specific primers (LN26 and LN27) (4), which produced an amplicon of expected size (1,050 bp) from all plants that reacted with BtMV antiserum but not from plants that were serologically negative. Leaf tissue from a BtMV-infected plant was ground in 0.01 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.2 (1:20, wt/vol), mixed with 0.5% celite, and used for mechanical inoculation of chickpea seedlings (cv. Beja 4). In addition, adults of three legume aphid species (Aphis craccivora, A. fabae, and Acyrthosiphon pisum) were starved for 1 h before feeding on BtMV-infected chickpea leaves for an acquisition access period of 5 min. Fifteen aphids of each species were placed on each chickpea plant, allowed to feed for 24 h, and then sprayed with an insecticide. Tip wilting symptoms appeared on plants 15 to 20 days after mechanical and aphid inoculations but not on plants used as negative control treatments (inoculated mechanically with healthy leaf tissue or with aphids that had fed on noninfected chickpea plants). Use of BtMV antiserum for TBIA analysis of inoculated plants revealed systemic BtMV infections in 35 of 92 plants inoculated mechanically and 15 of 75 plants inoculated with viruliferous A. fabae only. To our knowledge, this is the first record of BtMV infecting chickpea in Tunisia. References: (1) A. Franz et al. Ann. Appl. Biol. 128:255, 1996. (2) L. Katul.

Five isolates of pea seed-borne mosaic virus (US, S4, S6, Q and T) were compared by host range and symptomatology on 16 Pisum sativum cultivars and lines, 21 lines of Lathyrus and Lens spp. and several indicator species. All selections of Pisum sativum, except cv. Greenfeast, were susceptible to all isolates, but Greenfeast was susceptible to the US isolate. All isolates except T infected the Lathyrus and Lens spp. through mechanical and aphid transmissions. Chenopodium amaranticolor and Vicia faba reacted similarly to all isolates, Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Hawkesbury Wonder reacted to none. The North American isolate (US) was distinguished from the Australian S4, S6, Q, and T isolates by infecting Nicotiana clevelandii and Greenfeast pea. In all cases the highest rate of seed transmission occurred in the largest seed (82-91%) and the lowest was in the smallest seed (27-40%). Infected seed in the largest size classes was lighter in weight than the corresponding uninfected seed. Infected seed in all classes had a significantly lower germination rate than uninfected seed although the greatest reduction in germinability was in the smallest seed. In each size class uninfected seed was heavier than infected seed and germinated better. Two-dimensional immunodiffusion tests showed that precipitin lines between all the isolates and either the US and S6 antisera were confluent with no evidence of spurs. A rapid and sensitive indirect dot-immunobinding assay on nitrocellulose membrane for PSbMV was developed in which non-specific reactions were eliminated by using mannose and glucose in buffers, and healthy plant sap as a blocking agent. The limit of detection of antigen was about 32 ng per sample. Both of the antisera detected antigen in sap extracted from peas infected with the 6 PSbMV isolates, originating from the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark and all isolates were detected at similar antiserum dilution endpoints.
