soybean crinkle virus.

Acronym

SCLV

ICTV decimal code

29.0.3.T.058

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist.
• Glycine max - leaf deformation and leaf vein enations.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Bemisia tabaci; Aleyrodidae. Transmitted in a persistent manner. Virus not transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by seed.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in Thailand.

Experimental host range

Several (3-9) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show vein-clearing, leaf mottling, vein-enations.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Cassia tora, Datura stramonium, Glycine max, Lycopersicon esculentum, Nicotiana clevelandii, N. debneyi, N. glutinosa, N. tabacum, Petunia × hybrida, Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Top Crop, Zinnia elegans - systemic vein-clearing followed by leaf curling and crinkling.

Diagnostically insusceptible host species

Arachis hypogaea, Brassica campestris ssp. rapa, Chenopodium quinoa, Cucumis sativus, Phaseolus lunatus, Vigna unguiculata, V. unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis.

Physical and biochemical properties

Properties of particles in sap

Leaf sap contains few virions.

Particle morphology

Virions possibly geminate; not enveloped.

Cytopathology

Virions found in phloem; in nuclei. Inclusions present in infected cells; are crystals in the nucleus and amorphous X-bodies; they contain virions.

Taxonomy and relationships

Possible bigeminivirus: Geminiviridae
