Abstract
The host range of Indian peanut clump virus (IPCV) was studied under natural infectious conditions on pearl millet, finger millet, sorghum, maize, wheat, barley, rice and groundnut plants sown in a IPCV-infested field and sampled at regular intervals. Plants were analyzed directly after sampling or transplanted in glasshouse for 6 weeks and than analyzed for virus presence in root and leaf apices by DAS-ELISA as well as for Polymyxa presence in roots. IPCV infects all graminaceous species test-ed with infection being detected already within 12 days of sowing. The mean rate of infection during the rainy season was respectively for wheat: 92 %, barley: 69 %, maize: 38 %, finger millet: 29 %, sorghum: 26 %, groundnut: 22 %, rice: 4 % and finally pearl millet: 3 %. Depending on the species, the virus migrated from roots to shoots in all or only few infected plants or was never detected in leaves. Wheat, barley and groundnut presented symptoms.
