First report of Melon yellow spot virus infecting balsam pear (Momordica charantia L.) in Japan

A new disease causing necrotic spots and yellowing on leaves of balsam pear (Momordica charantia) was found in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. In this study, we identified the causal pathogen as Melon yellow spot virus (MYSV) based on morphology of virus particles, serology, and the nucleotide sequence of...

Description
Summary:A new disease causing necrotic spots and yellowing on leaves of balsam pear (Momordica charantia) was found in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. In this study, we identified the causal pathogen as Melon yellow spot virus (MYSV) based on morphology of virus particles, serology, and the nucleotide sequence of the nucleocapsid protein gene. This is the first report of natural infection of balsam pear by MYSV. We propose the name spotted wilt for this new disease of balsam pear.
