Sources of host-range data

Kolte and Nene (1975); Bharathan (1980); Beniwal et al. (1983).

Physical and biochemical properties

Properties of particles in sap

TIP: 60-70 °C. LIV: 3 days. DEP: log₁₀ minus 4. Infectivity of sap not changed by treatment with di-ethyl ether. Leaf sap contains few virions.

Purification method

Beniwal and Nene: PEG and column chromatography.

Particle morphology

Virions isometric; not enveloped; 25-30 nm in diameter; rounded in profile; without a conspicuous capsomere arrangement.

Physical properties

One sedimenting component in purified preparations.

Biochemical properties

Virions contain 17 % nucleic acid.

Genome consists of RNA; single-stranded; unipartite.

Replication

Replication does not depend on a helper virus.

Cytopathology

Virions found in leaves; in cytoplasm, in nuclei, and in chloroplasts. Inclusions absent from infected cells. Other cellular changes: hypertrophy of infected cells. Mitochondria become filiform.

Taxonomy and relationships

(ungrouped)

Virus(es) with serologically unrelated virions

Bean pod mottle, bean rugose mosaic, bean yellow stipple, blackgram mottle, cowpea mosaic, cowpea severe mosaic, cowpea chlorotic mottle, southern bean mosaic, squash mosaic, turnip crinkle and turnip yellow mosaic viruses.

Comments and References

General comments

In addition to this beetle-transmitted crinkle virus of green gram (Kolte and Nene, 1972), two others causing crinkle diseases of green gram are known. One is transmitted by aphids (Dingra, 1975), and the other by whitefly (Narayanasamy and Jaganathan, 1974).
