Abstract

Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a fungus-transmitted soilborne virus responsible for rhizomania disease of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. saccharifera). As more and more viruses with fungal vectors are detected (3) these pathogens have been the subject of growing interest, leading to attempts at classification based both upon the nature of the vector and the properties of the virus. In 1987, the International Committee on Virus Taxonomy classified BNYVV as a possible member of the recently proposed furovirus group fungus-transmitted rod-shaped virions; type member: soilborne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) (56). Furoviruses have rigid rod-shaped virions, plus-strand RNA genomes, are generally bipartite and are transmitted by soilborne fungi of the family Plasmodiophorales. In addition to SBWMV, other accepted members include beet soilborne virus (BSBV), broad bean necrosis virus (BBNV), oat golden stripe virus (OGSV), peanut clump virus (PCV) and
