Functional Transcomplementation between Wheat Dwarf Virus Strains in Wheat and Barley.

ABSTRACT: Wheat dwarf virus, transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus in a persistent, non-propagative manner, infects numerous species from the Poaceae family. Data associated with wheat dwarf virus (WDV) suggest that some isolates preferentially infect wheat while other preferentially infect barley. This allowed to define the wheat strain and the barley strain. There are contradictory results in the literature regarding the ability of each of these two strains to infect its non-preferred host. To improve knowledge on the interactions between WDV strains and barley and wheat, transmission experiments were carried out using barcoded P. alienus and an experimental design based on single/sequential acquisitions of WDV strains and on transmissions to wheat and barley.
