Strains of bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) have been identified largely by their characteristic interactions with a selected number of differential bean cultivars. Recent studies have suggested that BCMV strains could be classified on serological and other grounds as strains of two distinct potyviruses. Using high-performance liquid chromatographic peptide profiles of coat protein digests together with limited peptide analysis, 22 isolates of BCMV, including representatives from seven recognized pathotypes, were compared with each other and with the type strains of blackeye cowpea mosaic virus (BICMV) and peanut stripe virus (PStV) (...)
