Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Alphasatellite isolates were highly variable, with 86·5 to 100% nucleotide identity.
- Observation MeCMV isolates are phylogenetically related to begomoviruses of the squash leaf curl virus clade.
- Observation MeCMA isolates cluster in two subgroups related to New World alphasatellites.
- Observation MeCMV has a host range restricted to cucurbit species and two experimental hosts.
- Method / resource MeCMV is mechanically transmitted to melon with up to 100% efficiency, giving a simple and reliable inoculation method.
- Association The physiological stage of the inoculated organ, cotyledon or leaf, is a key factor for MeCMV inoculation efficiency.
- Observation The MeCMV plus MeCMA complex was mechanically transmitted to melon.
