Symptoms are widespread in Arkansas (from East to West and North to South) and have also been observed in all states we have investigated (Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee).

After coordinated efforts with scientists at the University of Tennessee, the research team was able to identify a new virus associated with symptoms. Given the extent of SNVD and the several different genotypes it affects (from breeding lines to commercial cultivars) it is necessary to study the virus,...
