THE NATURAL OCCURRENCE OF CUCUMBER MOSAIC VIRUS IN ORNAMENTALS IN ISRAEL |
| Author: | A. Gera |
| Abstract:
New ornamental plants, including Asclepias, Delphinium, Lisianthus and Trachelium were recently introduced to Israel for cut flower production. A virus isolated from these plants with severe mosaic, stunting and malformation was identified as a strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Identification was based on host range, aphid transmissibility, particles size and morphology, serology and double stranded RNA analysis. | |
