Abstract:
From 1973 to 1978 studies on the behaviour of some apple hybrids and parents to inoculation with virus and mycoplasma showed that Moruju's hybrid [(JonathanX Malus kaido Dipp.) x (Winter Banana x 4/103)] had remarkable sensitivity to infection.
The rapid appearance of symptoms induced by the inoculum, the frequency of inoculated trees with reactions, and the persistency of symptoms are described and are compared with the usual indicators used for biological assays of this kind.
