Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Clover yellow vein virus (CYVV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) (Family: Potyviridae) are important viruses of snap and dry bean. Serological differentiation of the two viruses has typically been difficult because of the close relationship between their respective coat proteins. An RT-PCR assay has been developed that can unambiguously distinguish between CYVV and BYMV in single and mixed infections of bean.
