Alfalfa mosaic virus        (AMV)

Taxonomic position

Genus: Alfamovirus        Family: Bromoviridae

AMV infection in plants of Apium graveolens was reported from Israel (Marco 1975). The virus-infected celery plants exhibit prominent stunting and a bright yellow mottle of a calico-like mosaic symptoms. The virus is transmitted by aphid vectors in a non-persistent manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation. For more details of AMV, refer to Medicago sativa.

Apium virus Y        (ApVY)

Taxonomic position

Genus: Potyvirus        Family: Potyviridae

Geographical distribution

ApVY occurs in plants of Apium graveolens from the USA and New Zealand (Tang et al. 2007; Eastwell et al. 2008; Tian et al. 2008; Xu et al. 2011a; Koike et al. 2012).

Symptoms and host(s)

The virus-infected celery plants older leaves generally show yellow or brown line patterns, yellow blotches, and brown lesions and in some cases distorted and twisted leaflets. Younger leaves may show a faint mosaic or...
