Abstract
Two viruses were isolated from the ornamental plant Passiflora caerulea L. with spotting, vein clearing and deformation of leaflets. One of the viruses from the mixed infection was cucumber mosaic virus. The other one was established to be an isolate of bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV). The isolate of BYMV infected Chenopodium quinoa and C. amaranticolor systemically and induced wilting and dying in Pisum sativum cv Petit Provengal. The infection of Phaseolus vulgaris cv Perlicka and Vicia faba was achieved with difficulty. Most of the cytological changes it provoked characterize BYMV infections, however, the lack of protein crystals in the nucleoli and the reaction of the test plants mentioned above indicate its difference from ordinary BYMV isolates.
To the best of our knowledge P. caerulea is a new natural host of BYMV.
