Bioassay To confirm infectious virus Rub inoculate both Nicotiana benthamiana (Nb) and Chenopodiumalbum ssp. amaranticolor (Caa) Reducing inoculation buffer carborundum Symptoms take up to 10 days to develop For Nb systemic infection, test upper newest leaves with RT-PCR or ELISA Caa local lesions, excise local lesions and test with RT-PCR or ELISA
Healthy CGMMV CGMMV CGMMV CGMMV Nb 20 days post inoculation. Symptom expression begins as early as 5 dpi, if Nb are at 4th true leaf when inoculated. Not all isolates cause strong symptoms in Nb despite systemic infection.

Isolate Collection California isolates: 3 unique isolates, 4 total American Type Culture Collection: 1 CGMMV (Japan), 1 zucchini green mottle mosaic virus Middle East: 1 isolate Europe: 26 isolates SE Asia: 4 isolates 37 total isolates
Phylogenetic analysis includes 46 full genome sequences from GenBank, and 36 sequences from international collaborators and California outbreaks. China Korea The 36 additional sequences were generated from NGS sequencing of purified virion RNA. Analyses are ongoing.
