Bean yellow mosaic virus is a plant pathogenic virus [1] in the genus Potyvirus and the virus family Potyviridae. Like other members of the Potyvirus genus, it is a monopartite strand of positive-sense, single-stranded RNA surrounded by a capsid made for a single viral encoded protein. The virus is a filamentous particle that measures about 750 nm in length. This virus is transmitted by species of aphids and by mechanical inoculation. [2]
A mosaic disease, believed to be bean yellow mosaic virus, was first reported in the early 1900s infecting garden peas ( Pisum sativum) in the Northeastern United States. [3] The virus is currently believed to be distributed worldwide. [4]
In addition to peas, this virus is known to infect many other legumes (family Fabaceae) including green beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris), [5] peanuts ( Arachis hypogaea), [6] soybeans ( Glycine max), [7] Faba beans ( Vicia faba), several species of clover ( Trifolium hybridum, T. vesiculosum, T. incarnatum, T. pratense, T. repens, T. subterraneum), alfalfa ( Medicago sativa), vetch ( Vicia sativa), lupine ( Lupinus luteus), [8] black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and Crotalaria spectabilis.
It also is known to infect several non-leguminous plants including Gladiolus sp., [9] Fressia sp., opium poppy ( Papaver somniferum), Canna spp. and Eustoma russellianum.
Symptoms in these plants include mosaic, leaf malformation and leaf mottling. [10] This virus makes two kinds of viral inclusions, laminated aggregates and a nuclear inclusion. [1]
