  Soybean vein necrosis-associated virus (SVNaV), originally found in Tennessee in 2008, has recently been reported from other soybean-growing regions of the United States as well as Canada. To provide direct evidence for lack of seed transmissibility of SVNaV in soybean, cultivars CF386RR2y/stsn and AG4832 were planted in a field in Kentucky during the 2013 growing season. Typical SVNaV induced symptoms emerged in early August. Tissues were collected from 150 symptomatic and asymptomatic plants of both cultivars and assayed by ELISA. SVNaV was detected in 94% of symptomatic, but none of asymptomatic plants. Seeds were harvested independently from 10 selected infected plants of each cultivar that exhibited the highest ELISA readings. A total of 2085 seeds from both cultivars were planted under greenhouse conditions and subsequently 1955 asymptomatic see.. View More»
