Seed borne AMV in alfalfa is established and accepted.
Yes
Bioassay, ELISA, PCR
AMV000-2,AMV000-3

Solanum lycopersicum
tomato
No
AMV000-6
Pathway not proven. No references found. ISF Pestlist Databaes, 2018 found one reference indicating seed maybe a pathway, but seed was not directly tested, it is unclear if the proper control or methodology was used to determine seed infection transmission. Tomato is a host of Alfalfa mosaic virus, and seed pathway is inferred in many tomato disease guides,, but no references were cited or data presented to verify this inference.

Capsicum annuum
pepper
No
AMV000-4,AMV000-6
Pathway not proven. Seed transmission only reported in C. frutesens, during "normal production". Data is very old and has not been verified. No reports of seed being a pathway in C. annuum.
Healthy seed production important in control.
AMV000-4
Cucurbitaceae family
cucumber, melons, squash, pumpkins, watermelon
No
AMV000-1
CABI only verifies these crops as a host. No references on seed as a pathway found.

celery
No
AMV000-1

Glycine max
soybean
No
AMV000-1,AMV000-7,AMV000-8
Pathway not proven. Though seed has been reported as a possible pathway in Brazil and Argentina, no references were found with data to conclusive show seed transmission or that seed is a pathway.

Lactuca sativa
lettuce
No
ISF RPLD,AMV000-9
Lettuce is an infrequent host of this virus. There is no evidence that seed is a pathway.
