Claim · model-written summary
O. melanopa reaches winter cereals at a virus tolerant stage and spring cereals after tillering starts.
Verbatim
e0“O. melanopa , which is potentially the most important vector of the viruses to cereals, moves to winter‐sown cereals only when the virus‐tolerant growth stage has been reached, and later to spring‐sown cereals when they too have commenced tillering.”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Both viruses can be transmitted by two beetle species.
- Observation Both viruses readily inoculated some cereals.
- Observation Only CFMV was found naturally infecting one wheat crop.
- Mechanism Inefficient vector transmission and symptomless tolerance after tillering explain apparent field absence.
- Association Cereal symptom expression was related to virus concentration.
- Association Light intensity and ambient temperature may influence symptom expression and virus concentration.
