Family: Asteraceae Ornamental
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Cucumovirus Family: Bromoviridae
CMV infection in plants of Aster yomena was reported from Korea, the Netherlands, and Israel (Loebenstein et al. 1995; Choi et al. 1990; Chen 2003). The virus-infected plants show mottle and severe mosaic symptoms. The virus is transmitted by a number of aphid vectors such as Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii in a non-persistent manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation. For more details of CMV, refer to Cucumis sativus.
Papaya leaf curl virus (PaLCuV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Begomovirus Family: Geminiviridae
PaLCuV infection in plants of Aster alpinus was reported from India (Snehi et al. 2013). The virus-infected plants exhibit yellow vein symptoms. The virus is transmitted by the whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci, in a circulative non-propagative manner. The virus is not mechanically sap-transmissible. For more details of PaLCuV, refer to Carica papaya.
