The Relationship Between Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus and Pea Mosaic Virus.

Abstract

The host range, symptomatology, serology, and electron microscopy of one isolate of bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) and of three isolates of pea mosaic virus (PMV1, PMV2, and PMV3) were compared. All had similar host ranges, but could be differentiated by symptomatology. BYMV, P.~VI, and PMV2 were closely related serologically.
