An aphid resistant wheat variety reduces the transmission of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) by Rhopalosiphum padi (L.)

Ilma A. Qonaah, Amma L. Simon, Duncan Warner, Toby J. A. Bruce, Rumiana V. Ray

This study shows that an aphid-resistant wheat variety (G1) reduces BYDV transmission by R. padi, while a resistant variety (RGT Wolverine) limits viral replication despite high transmission.
