Abstract
In Italy, wheat spindle streak mosaic was first detected in a field near Rome in 1985. Subsequently, WSSMV has been identified, either alone or in mixed infection with CSBMV, in approximately 20 other sites throughout the northern and central and regions of the country. Field trials in 1998–99, 2003–04, and 2006–07 at the Experimental Farm of the Cereals Research Institute near Rome in a field with natural inoculum sources of both WSSMV and CSBMV evaluated the reaction to WSSMV using DAS-ELISA of 72 durum wheat cultivars marketed in Italy. Nine of these cultivars were grown over three seasons, 17 over two seasons, and 46 in one season only. The cultivars were grown in 10-m2, solid-seeded plots, distributed in the field according to a randomized Table 2. Estimated mean effects of cereal soil-borne mosaic virus on 34 durum wheat cultivars with different disease severity grown in a field near Bologna, Italy, during 2006–07.
