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

Table 9 The rates of seedborne transmission of the acute viruses bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in bean lines with or without endornavirus infection

Common bean Line*	Acute Viral Infection	Number of progeny seedlings tested	Number of progeny testing positive in ELISA	Rate of seedborne transmission (%)
Wairimu Dwarf	CMV	53	0	0.000
Wairimu Dwarf	BCMV	57	4	7.018
RED40	CMV	17	1	5.882
RED40	BCMV	43	6	13.953
RWR2245	CMV	39	3	7.692
RWR2075^†	CMV	20	0	0.000

^*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 and CMV-infected plants
