Family: Fabaceae Fodder
Peanut mottle virus (PeMoV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Potyvirus Family: Potyviridae
PeMoV infection in plants of Arachis glabrata was reported from North America (Nischwitz et al. 2007). The virus-infected rhizoma peanut plants exhibit chlorotic ringspot symptoms. The virus is transmitted by aphid vectors in a non-persistent manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation. For more details of PeMoV, refer to Arachis hypogaea.
Peanut stunt virus (PSV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Cucumovirus Family: Bromoviridae
PSV infection in plants of Arachis glabrata was reported from Florida and Georgia, USA (Blount et al. 2002). The virus-infected rhizoma peanut plants exhibit symptoms of malformed leaves, plant chlorosis, leaf mottling, and stunted plants, which resulted in reduced foliage yield. The virus is transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation to a large number of hosts. For more details of PSV, refer to Arachis hypogaea.
