Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) is known to be seed-transmitted in many legume species. In this study, seven Lathyrus and 16 Vicia species were evaluated for their ability to transmit PSbMV through seeds. When germinating embryo axes of seeds collected from PSbMV-infected plants of 23 forage legume species were tested in groups of five seedlings each by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the virus was found to be seed-transmitted in Lathyrus annuus, L. ochrus, L. sativus, Vicia ervilia, V. narbonensis var. narbonesis, V. palaestina, V. panonnica and V. sativa.
