Abstract

Furthermore, because RNA2 is responsible for this virus' coat protein (which might be involved in the beetle's transmission of the virus), there was still some room for further inquiry. This outbreak, in turn, led to a regional plant disease epidemic resulting from the beetle-transmitted virus I Bean pod mottle virus i (Secoviridae: Comovirinae), hereafter "the virus." Graph I Ceratoma trifurcata i (photo by Marlin E. Rice) on a soybean leaf: the primary vector of I Bean pod mottle virus i throughout the midwestern U.S. Graph Leaves of I Desmodium illinoense i with (top) and without (bottom) I Ceratoma trifurcata i injury. Because (so I thought) of the relative genetic similarity between tick trefoil and soybean, maybe a virus isolate from this new host might have mild symptomology in soybean too.
