Natural infection of Ornithogalum mosaic virus on Iris from India
Plant Pathology 55 (2), 284-284
Abstract: In a survey of Iris plantations in India, plants were found exhibiting mottle, mosaic, chlorotic spots on leaves and deformed flowers. Plants were tested by RT-PCR using a universal potyvirus primer pair designed to amplify partial coat protein gene and 3'-UTR of the viral genome. Analysis of an amplification product showed 99% nucleotide sequence identity compared to an Australian isolate of Ornithogalum mosaic virus (OrMV) from Iris and 87-91% identity compared to OrMV infecting Ornithogalum spp.
