Susceptibility of some pea cultivars to pea seed-borne mosaic virus infection and virus transmission by seeds.
The susceptibility of 19 pea cultivars to pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) by mechanical inoculation and the virus transmission by seeds were determined. All tested cultivars were highly susceptible to the virus infection. The virus transmission by seeds was found in 1.9% - 32.7%. A correlation between mechanical and vector-mediated infections of pea and virus transmission by seeds is discussed.
