Pathway not proven. Seed transmission shown only with artificially inoculated seed and when evaluating seedling expression and disease resistance. There is little evidence, outside experiments conducted in Sudan and India with local varieties, that seed is a pathway in nature. No recent references on this pathogen were found.
Quality seed production practices should reduce any risk from this disease.
