Q

Kochs Postulates

A
  1. Must be found in diseased but not healthy organisms
  2. Must be extracted and isolated from the diseased organism and grown in culture
  3. Must cause disease when introduced to a healthy plant
  4. The re-isolated organism from the inoculated plant must be same as original

19
Q

Types of transmission of viruses

A

Seed transmission
Mechanical transmission
Vegetative propagation and grafting
Vectors

20
Q

Seed transmission

A

Use of seed derived from an infected plant

21
Q

Mechanical transmission

A

Contact between infected and healthy leaves (wind, shears, knives)

22
Q

Vegetative propagation and grafting

A

Placing infected plant parts with healthy plants

23
Q

Most common disease vector

A

Insects

24
Q

How does the triangle change in viruses

A

Environment in replaced with vector

25
Q

Strategies of virus disease management

A

Resistance variety
Virus-free materials
Sanitary measures
Vector control
Scouting/early detection and removal of infected plants

26
Q

Example of virus resistant varieties

A

Peas. En gene=resistance to pea enation mosaic virus. Mo gene=resistance to bean yellow mosaic virus

27
Q

Why is it so hard to identify viruses

A

No visual sign
Symptoms can be confused with other factors
Viruses cannot be seen or cultured

28
Q

How to detect viruses

A

Must be done with molecular tests with either commercial ones or plant matter sent to a lab

29
Q

Steps and approaches of virus control

A

Field scouting
Seed selection/resistance variety
Crop rotation
Remove weeds
Manage insect vectors
