| Abstract: | Aphid transmission studies of two soybean mosaic virus isolates have shown that both isolates are transmitted by Myzus persicae. Only one of the isolates is transmitted by Rhopalosiphum maidis. The R. madis non-transmissible isolate could be transmitted from plants co-infected with the R. maidis transmissible isolate; aphid acquisition factor did not seem to mediate this transmission. The two isolates could be differentiated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay experiments, but peptide mapping experiments revealed few differences between the isolates. |
