Hibiscus esculentus

Family: Malvaceae        Vegetable

Bhendi yellow vein Bhubhaneswar virus        (BYVBhV)

Taxonomic position

Genus: Begomovirus        Family: Geminiviridae

Geographical distribution

BYVBhV infection in plants of Hibiscus esculentus was reported from Bhubhaneswar (India) (Venkataravanappa et al. 2013a).

Symptoms and host(s)

BYVBhV-infected okra plants exhibit prominent yellow vein mosaic symptoms and stunting. The virus was isolated from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) but no further investigation of the host range of the virus has been conducted.

Transmission

The virus has been shown to be transmitted by the whitefly vector of begomoviruses, Bemisia tabaci (Venkataravanappa et al. 2013a). Although the mechanism of transmission of BYVBhV by B. tabaci has not been investigated, the mechanism is likely to be circulative, non-propagative in common with all begomoviruses.

Virion properties and genome

The structure of BYVBhV particles has not been investigated. In common with all...
