TY - JOUR N2 - Seed transmission frequency and pod losses of groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea) due to peanut stripe virus isolates are reported from China. Five isolates were collected in Wuhan (PStV-W1, W2, N), Guangzhou (PStV-G) and Tansan (PStV-T). These were divided into 3 groups on the basis of symptoms in various groundnut genotypes. Isolates in group 1, which produced mild mottling, were widely distributed. PStV-W1 caused a 1.4-6.4% reduction in plant height, and G, 9.2-16.3%. Losses in pod yields due to these isolates were 20.8-36.6 and 29.8-55%, respectively. PStV-W1 was transmitted to 20.9% and PStV-G to 6.1% of seed of cv Zhonghua No.3. All five isolates were transmitted by Aphis craccivora.
