Investigating the interactions of endornaviruses with each other and with other viruses in common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris

Table 10 The effects of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) infection on seed yield in bean varieties carrying different complements of Phaseolus vulgaris endornaviruses 1, 2 and 3

Common bean line*	Acute viral infection	Mean number of seeds per plant	Mean seed mass (g)
Wairimu Dwarf	Mock	6.93	0.366
	CMV	7.07	0.439
	BCMV	7.92	0.373
RED40	Mock	29.73	0.282
	CMV	1.27	0.233
	BCMV	6.13	0.232
RWR2245	Mock	7.80	0.245
RWR2245	CMV	4.27	0.251
RWR2075^†	Mock	0.60	0.031
RWR2075^†	CMV	2.00	0.349

^*Endornavirus content: Wairimu Dwarf, no endornaviruses present; RED40, PvEV1; RWR2245, PvEV1 and PvEV2; RWR2075, PvEV1, PvEV2 and PvEV3
^†RWR2075 seed production occurred at a very low rate for both mock-inoculated (Mock) and CMV-infected plants
