Cucumber Mosaic Virus in Garlic

Zlata Štefanac ; Hrvatska

Abstract

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was isolated from a stunted garlic plant showing a conspicuous yellow stripe in one of its leaves. The virus was transmitted by Myzus persicae to symptomless garlic plants naturally infected with a carlavirus and a potyvirus. CMV infected plants produced successively streaks and mosaic in leaves or a few chlorotic stripes, which later became necrotic and split giving the leaves a distinctive appearance. It is suggested that the cause of these symptoms was the interaction of CMV with one or both latent viruses.
The isolate of CMV obtained from garlic differed from most described isolates of this virus by its ability to induce occasional systemic infection in C. quinoa.
This is the first report of CMV in garlic.
