Southern bean mosaic virus the causal agent of a new disease of Phaseolus vulgaris beans in Spain
European Journal of Plant Pathology 109 (9), 935-941
Abstract: Southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV) has been identified as the cause of a new disease in greenhouse-cultivated common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), in the south-east of Spain. The identification was based on host range comparisons, morphological and serological characteristics of the virus, the size of its dsRNA species and the nucleotide sequence of an 810-bp fragment from ORF2. The virus could be clearly discriminated from the related sobemovirus Southern cowpea mosaic virus. This is the first report of SBMV in Spain.
