Africa produces only 2.7% of the world's rice and is the second-largest riceimporting region
in the world (6.5 Mt in 2003). This amount represents about 25% of the world rice importation …

Fourteen isolates of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) were selected as representative of the
genetic variability of the virus in Africa from a total set of 320 isolates serologically typed or …

The coat protein gene (ORF4) and the 3′ untranslated region of a sample of 40 isolates of
Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV), 32 from West Africa and 8 from East Africa, have been …

The use of a panel of polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against
West African isolates of rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) in ELISA resulted in separation of 73 …

The sequences of the coat protein gene of a representative sample of 40 isolates of Rice
yellow mottle virus (RYMV) from 11 African countries were analysed. The overall level of …

Serological variability of isolates of rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) collected in Côte d'Ivoire
was assessed by immunological tests with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) …

Isolates of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) were typed at the molecular level through the
sequences of the open reading frame (ORF) 4 (coding for the coat protein) and ORF1 …

Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) accumulation in protoplasts and whole plants was
investigated in two highly resistant cultivars, Tog5681 (Oryza glaberrima) and Gigante …

We identified sources of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) resistance in rice cultivars. Eight
cultivars together with susceptible and resistant controls were evaluated under screenhouse …

Rice yellow mottle genus Sobemovirus is an important disease of rice worldwide. Although
the virus attacks both upland and lowland rice cultivars, the latter are worse infected. The …
