Peanut stripe virus disease of groundnut has spread rapidly in many
groundnut-producing countries, and causes economically significant
crop losses. Groundnuts are an important oilseeds crop in many
regions of the developing world, as well as a major protein source.
Plant quarantinestrategies areacritical factor in containing this seedtransmitted
virus because plant breeders frequently exchange
germplasm, often between countries. In this publication, scientists
review research and the country-specific situation of peanut stripe
disease in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand,
and USA. In addition, the Peanut Collaborative Research Support
Program (Peanut CRSP), USA, and a microcomputer data base on
the virus are described. Six technical papers cover seedborne
legume viruses, comparison of peanut stripe virus isolates, purificationandserological
relationshipsof peanut stripevirus, themolecular
basis for potyvirus serology, and use of high-performance liquid
chromatographic peptide profiling of coat protein digests. Recommendations
are made for further action to control the spread of this
disease, to estimate crop losses, and to formulate management
strategies.
