Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV) is a long-known virus naturally infecting Rubus and grapevine. It is also one of the economically most important viruses of raspberries, but there are only a limited number of sequences covering a substantial part of the genome available in the databases. Picture of symptoms Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV) is a pollen-transmitted virus that has been reported from eastern and western Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, North and South America, Australasia and South Africa... 2.5.1 Raspberrybushydwarfvirus. RBDV is a major viral pathogen causing severe yield reduction and reduced plant growth, and is found to occur wherever Rubus plants are found, especially affecting red raspberry production (Valasevich et al. Raspberry crumbly fruit in red raspberry ( Rubus idaeus ), widespread in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and British Columbia, Canada, is most commonly caused by a virus infection. Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV) has long been attributed as the causal agent of... Besides other viruses frequently occurring on grapevine, Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV) was detected in two samples. Results were confirmed by nested-PCR and sequence analysis of the frag-ment in 5' part of RNA-1. Instead of setting healthy fruits, raspberries infected with raspberrybushydwarfvirus have fruits that are smaller than normal or crumble at harvest time. Yellow ring spots may appear briefly in the spring on expanding leaves, but soon disappear... INTRODUCTION Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV), genus Idae-. ovirus, is a seed- and pollen-borne virus that is com-monly found in red and black raspberry. Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV), black raspberry necrosis virus (BRNV), raspberry vein chlorosis virus (RVCV) and RYNV were detected in the Rubus genetic resource collection. Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV), the only member of the genus Idaeovirus, is vertically and horizontally transmitted by pollen (Fauquet et al., 2005; Murant et al., 1974). RBDV naturally infects Rubus spp., and is one of the important viral pathogens of. This study aimed to evaluate the yield and assess changes in the chemical composition of fresh red raspberry fruits caused by the presence of Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV). The study was conducted on fruits collected from RBDV-free and... Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV) is an economically significant pathogen of raspberry and grapevine, and it has also been found in cherry. Most of the currently available RBDV sequences are from European raspberry isolates. Jones A. T., Murant A. F., Jennings D. L. 1982; Association of raspberrybushydwarfvirus with raspberry yellows disease: reaction of Rubus species and cultivars, and the inheritance of resistance. Ann Appl Biol 100:135–147 [CrossRef]. The pollen-borne Raspberrybushydwarfvirus (RBDV; genus Idaeovirus ) is a serious pathogen of Rubus worldwide and it is proving difficult to control its spread and effects in crops. Raspberrybushydwarfvirus is pollen-borne, making chemical control virtually impossible. 'Meeker' raspberry plants were transformed with the coat protein gene, mutated forms of the movement protein gene or nontranslatable RNA of RBDV.
