Worldwide, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is the causal agent of many economically important diseases. Based on immunological or molecular analysis, three distinct subgroups of CMV isolates can be identified (IA, IB, and II). In addition, some CMV isolates are associated with satellite RNAs (satRNAs), a type of noncoding transcript that may alter the symptoms of CMV infections. This study presents an analysis of CMV isolates occurring in legumes in Greece in respect to their genetic diversity, and the presence and diversity of their satRNA. Phylogenetic analysis of the CMV coat protein sequence of 18 legume and 5 tomato CMV isolates collected throughout Greece classified them within subgroups IA and IB, with a limited genetic diversity. The CMV satRNAs found in nine field legumes exhibiting mild symptoms and in one tomato with a necrotic syndrome contained a functional necrogenic motif; therefore, they were grouped within the necrogenic group of CMV-satRNAs. The necrotic phenotype was expressed in all legume CMV isolates containing necrogenic satRNAs when mechanically inoculated onto tomato plants. To our knowledge, this is the first observation that legumes host necrogenic CMV-satRNAs. The possible role of legumes in the epidemiology of CMV and necrogenic satRNA complex is discussed.

Entomological aspects of the epidemiology of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were studied in Michigan. Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Aphis gossypii Glover were efficient vectors of CMV between various hosts in the laboratory. Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) transmitted CMV between cucumber and Echinocystis lobata (Michx.) T. & G. Myzocallis asclepiadis (Monell) was shown to be a new vector of CMV between Asclepias syriaca L. Neither Melanoplus differentialis (Thomas) nor Acalymma vittata (Fabricius) transmitted the virus in limited trials.There was a small proportion of cucumber plants infected early in July, when alate M. persicae were present. In August the incidence of infection rose rapidly after a period of activity of alate A. gossypii. Alate aphids were trapped in yellow water pans situated in and around cucumbers. Seven known vectors of CMV were caught.

In recent years, the accumulated molecular data of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) isolates from various hosts originating from different parts of the world considerably helped to understand the genetic complexity and evolutionary history of the virus. In this work, four complete TuMV genomes (HC9, PK1, MS04, MS15) were characterised from naturally infected cultivated and wild-growing Papaver spp., hosts from which only very scarce data were available previously. Phylogenetic analyses showed the affiliation of Slovak Papaver isolates to the world-B and basal-B groups. The PK1 isolate showed a novel intra-lineage recombination pattern, further confirming the important role of recombination in the shaping of TuMV genetic diversity. Biological assays indicated that the intensity of symptoms in experimentally inoculated oilseed poppy are correlated to TuMV accumulation level in leaves. This is the first report of TuMV in poppy plants in Slovakia.
