DEVELOPING BEET CURLY TOP VIRUS INFECTIOUS CLONES TO SCREEN SUGAR BEET PLANTS FOR RESISTANCE

Objective

The objective is to develop strain specific infectious clones of Beet Curly Top Virus (BCTV). Developing infectious clones of Beet curly top virus (BCTV) strains found in western U.S. will benefit breeding for curly top resistance in sugar beet by allowing strain specific resistance to be identified. Maintaining single virus strains in beet leafhopper populations has proven to be problematic. Thus, infectious clones are the only effective means to screen for strain specific resistance to BCTV.
