Host range, cytology, and transmission of an alyce-clover isolate of blackeye cowpea mosaic virus

A blackeye cowpea mosaic virus (BlCMV) isolated from alyce-clover, designated as BlCMV-AC, was partially characterized. Cylindrical inclusions containing scrolls induced by BlCMV-AC were detected in infected plants by light, electron, and immunofluorescence microscopy. Isolate BlCMV-AC infected Alysicarpus vaginalis, Crotalaria spectabilis, Indigofera hirsuta, Lupinus albus, Macroptilium lathyroides, Nicotiana benthamiana, Phaseolus vulgaris «Black Turtle 2», Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata «California Blackeye», Chenopodium amaranticolor, and C. quinoa (.)
