WHEAT STREAK MOSAIC is a damaging viral disease of wheat in the Great Plains region of North America that causes yield losses that can exceed 60%. An outbreak of WSM in Alberta in 1964 was responsible for yield losses of 24.7 million L (700 000 bu) of winter wheat (Atkinson and Grant, 1967). In Kansas, WSM caused an average annual yield loss of 546 million L (15.5 million bu) between 1987 and 1991 (Harvey et al., 1994).
This disease is caused by Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), which is spread by the wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, syn. Aceria tulipae Keifer (Slykhuis, 1955). Mite-susceptible wheat cultivars respond to mite colonization by ...
