Abstract

The rhabdovirus, isolated from infected maize plants or viruliferous planthoppers in Iran, was transmitted by Ribautodelphax notabilis, but not by cicadellid leafhoppers. This is the first record of R. notabilis as a virus vector. Virus particles were bullet-shaped, 70-90 × 150-220 nm (av. 81 × 179 nm). The virus was transmitted to wheat and barley, causing mosaic and severe stunting. Similar virus particles have been observed in leaf-dip preparations of naturally infected wheat, barley and Sudan grass. The relation of the described isolate to similar viruses infecting gramineous plants is discussed
