Description Knowledge'of' transmission i s essential for undertaking studies on the
epidemiology of diseases caused by plnnt viruscs. A majority of plnnt viruses
are transmitted by biotic aget~tss uch as, insects, nematotles and fi~ngi.A part
from these, seeds, especially in the casc of legumcs, pollen and plal~pt arts
used in vegetative propagation can transmit viruses. Of 36 plant virus groups
described so far, orie or more members in 12 groups arc seed transmitted ill
legumes. Of scveral plant viruses reportcd to naturally infect groundnut
(Arctchis Iiypogaen L.), at least five viruses are known to be seed-transmitted
in grourldnut (Table 1).
