Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) distributed widely in barley, wheat, rye, oat, maize, teosinte and foxtail millet showing a yellowing, redding or dwarfing in Kanto area. Wheat, rye, maize, teosinte and foxtail millet were newly recorded natural host plants of BYDV in Japan. New diseases named yellow dwarf or yellows for them. Two BYDV isolates from maize and oat were characterized by the aphid transmission, host range, physicochemical properties, serology and intracellular appearance. These two isolates were regularly transmitted by Rhopalosiphum padi and R. maidis, respectively, indicating that the isolates may be differ from other known isolates of BYDV.
