Abstract
When grown in contaminated soil, several weed species proved to be alternative hosts for the Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), the Beet soil-borne virus (BSBV), and their common vector Polymyxa betae. The monocotyledonous plants Alopecurus myosuroides, Lolium multiflorum, Sorghum vulgare, Sorghum halepense and dicotyledonous plants Calystegia sepium, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Centaurea cyanus, Convolvulus arvensis, Galinsorga parviflora, Matricaria inodora, Stellaria media were positively tested, whereas Chenopodium album was shown to be a host for P. betae, but couldn’t be verified in ELISA to be a host for the viruses. The status of the weeds as alternative hosts was confirmed by positive re-transmission of the viruses by their vector from infected weed roots to susceptible sugar beet plants. ITS sequence and northern blot analysis proved P. betae but not P. graminis to be the vector for the virus transmission from weeds.
Zusammenfassung
Verschiedene Wildkrautarten erwiesen sich als alternative Wirte für BNYVV, BSBV und ihren gemeinsamen Vektor Polymyxa betae, wenn sie in kontaminierter Erde wuchsen. Die monokotyledonen Pflanzen Alopecurus myosuroides, Lolium multiflorum, Sorghum vulgare, Sorghum halepense und die Dikotyledonen Calystegia sepium, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Centaurea cyanus, Convolvulus arvensis, Galinsorga parviflora, Matricaria inodora, Stellaria media wurden positiv getestet, wohingegen Chenopodium album sich zwar als Wirt für P. betae erwies, jedoch konnten im ELISA die zwei Viren nicht zweifelsfrei nachgewiesen werden. Der Status der Wildkräuter als alternative Wirtspflanzen wurde durch eine positive Retransmission der Viren durch ihren Vektor von infizierten Wildkrautwurzeln auf anfällige Zuckerrübenpflanzen bestätigt. ITS-Sequenzanalysen und Northern-Blot-Analysen bewiesen, dass P. betae, nicht jedoch P. graminis der Vektor für die Virustransmission von Wildkräutern war.
