- Abstract
The article provides information about natural infection of maize by Pennisetum mosaic virus in China. In mid-2002, a potyvirus was isolated from maize showing mild mosaic symptoms in the Xinzhou District of Shanxi Province, China. All inoculated plants developed systemic mosaic symptoms. In serological tests, the virus was distantly related to Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), the prevalent potyvirus infecting maize across China. This is the first report of PenMV in maize, where before SCMV had been the only potyvirus infecting maize in China. SCMV occurs in most maize-growing areas of China, and its symptoms, on most cultivars of sorghum, are mosaic followed by reddening and necrosis of the lamina.
