Abstract
A new biotype (biotype E) of the greenbug, S. graminum [a major pest of sorghum and the other cereals] was compared with biotype C as a vector of the A and B strains of maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV-A and MDMV-B). Two isolates of MDMV-A and one isolate of MDMV-B were tested. Biotype E was more efficient than biotype C as a vector of one MDMV-A isolate. Biotype E greenbugs were more efficient than biotype C as vectors of MDMV-B.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
