“…In legumes, BYMV is transmitted by several species of aphids in a non-persistent manner, and also experimentally in sap of infected plants (Bos 1970 a, Tapio 1970, Cockbain 1983 1984, Jayasena and Randles 1985, Bays and Demski 1986, Winter and Nienhaus 1989, Provvidenti 1991. Many strains of BYMV have been reported which may be distinguished by host range, aphid transmission, serology or RNA sequence heterology (Bos 1970 a, Jones and Diachun 1977, Reddick and Barnett 1983, Schmidt and Zobywalski 1984, Herrera and Sepulveda 1986, Barnett et al 1987, Scott et al 1989, Hopps and Mclaughlin 1990. The pea strain of BYMV, formerly considered a distinct virus from the bean strain of BYMV and called pea mosaic virus (PMV), causes bright yellow mosaic symptoms, whereas the bean strain of BYMV causes green mosaic symptoms in pea leaves (Bos 1970b, Tapio 1970).…”
