Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation SLCMV isolates infected the cassava cultivar Sengutchi in fields near Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
- Observation The Malappuram isolate of SLCMV was persistent in the Madurai greenhouse.
- Observation The Thiruvananthapuram isolate of SLCMV did not persist in the Madurai greenhouse.
- Observation Recovered cassava plants with non-persistent SLCMV displayed re-emergence of CMD after six months.
- Observation Recovered cassava plants did not carry SLCMV.
- Mechanism The field-collected SLCMV-infected plants were interpreted to be co-infected with low levels of ICMV.
- Mechanism Loss of SLCMV in recovered cassava plants facilitated the re-emergence of ICMV.
- Observation Partial dimer clones of persistent, non-persistent SLCMV and re-emerged ICMV isolates were infective in Nicotiana benthamiana upon agroinoculation.
- Observation Pseudo-recombination in N. benthamiana provided evidence for trans-replication of ICMV DNA B by SLCMV DNA A.
