A new seedborne strain of cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) that induces severe symptoms on many cowpea genotypes was detected in Georgia in 1994. This strain, designated CMV-Csb, is asymptomatic on tobacco, but it produces more severe cowpea stunt symptoms when present in combination with blackeye cowpea mosaic potyvirus than do the more prevalent CMV isolates. The new strain is seedborne in cowpea (1.5 to 37%), has no associated satellite RNA, and is classified as a member of subgroup I of CMV strains based on nucleic acid hybridization assays.

Abstract A new nonisotopic detection method based on time-resolved fluorescence for nucleic acid hybridization assays with alkaline phosphatase labels has been developed: enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL). EALL combines the amplification of an enzyme label with the sensitivity and background elimination of time-resolved fluorescence detection of lanthanide ion luminescence. The detection system for alkaline phosphatase makes use of a phosphorylated salicylic acid derivative that, upon dephosphorylation, gives a product capable of forming a luminescent terbium chelate. We demonstrate DNA hybridization assays by using two substrates, one for membrane and one for solution-based formats. Using the substrate that produces a more adhesive product allows performance of dot-blot and Southern blot assays on nylon membranes; results can be recorded with a time-resolved photographic camera system, or with an ultraviolet transilluminator-based system. Less than 4 pg of target sequence can be detected in a dot-blot assay after incubation with substrate for 2-4 h. DNA microwell-plate hybridization assays with the more soluble substrate/product pair can be quantified with time-resolved fluorescence plate readers, giving a similar detection sensitivity. EALL is thus a practical time-resolved fluorescence-based alternative to other detection systems for DNA hybridization assays.
