the virus. In the unprotected plots, the mungbean strain with greatest virus<br />

injury had only 16% of the height, 9% of the branch length, 9% of the leaf<br />

size, and 5% of the dry weight index of the resistant strain. In the cages the<br />

same susceptible strain had 91% of the height, 106% of the branch length, 65%<br />

of the leaf size, and 114% of the dry weight index of the resistant check. [AS]<br />

The paper describes a mosaic virus disease observed on some introduced<br />

mungbean cultivars. The particle morphology, symptomatology on various test<br />

species, transmissibility by aphids and seeds, and serology suggest the virus<br />

is a strain of cucumber mosaic virus. Since many mungbean cultivars are not<br />

invaded systemically by this virus, seed transmission should not occur, and,<br />

therefore, the virus should not seriously affect mungbean production in the<br />

area. [EMS]<br />

virus. PLANT DISEASE REPORTER, v.62(6):530-534. LEnJ [En Abst] (REP.MB-1921)<br />

Cucumber mosaic virus caused serious damage to mungbean (Vigna radiata)<br />

plants grown at the University of Missouri, Agronomy Research Center at<br />

Columbia during the past several years. The affected plants showed pronounced<br />

mosaic, leaf deformities, stunting and, occasionally, flower abortion and pod<br />

distortion. The causal virus was transmitted readily with sap inoculation and<br />

was seed-borne in mungbeans (0.61%). It was acquired and transmitted by the<br />

cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora) during brief probes. Identity of the causal<br />

virus was confirmed with host range, electron microscopy, and serology. [AS]<br />

This paper deals with a witches' broom disease of black locust (Robinia<br />

pseudoacacia). Similar witches' broom diseases have been reported on Vigna<br />

mungo and other crops in Java. LTHH]<br />

The paper deals with plant viruses encountered in Trinidad: cowpea mosaic<br />

virus, cbmmon bean mosaic virus, tobacco mosaic virus, and other suspected<br />

viruses. Vigna radiata and V. mungo were easily infected by cowpea mosaic<br />

virus, whereas inoculation with common bean mosaic virus failed to cause<br />

infection. [EMS]<br />
