Abstract
A virus (SMV-J) in Chenopodium murale collected near Nova Gra- diska (Yugoslavia) was found to be an isolate of sowbane mosaic virus (SMV). The virus was transmitted to 8 species of Chenopodiaceae but it failed to infect 7 species of plants from other families. The virus was isolated and purified. Electron microscope analyses revealed isometric virus particles about 30 nm in size. SMV-J was transmitted readily through seed; 32% of the seeds of diseased plants produced infected seedlings.
The virus has a thermal inactivation point at about 93°C. It remained active in vitro more than 2 months. An immune serum against SMV-J was prepared. The serological tests performed by the agar gel double diffusion test and the intragel absorption test showed that SMV-J is indistinguishable from the American strain of SMV. In addition, SMV-J did not differ serologically from SMV isolate found in grapevine in Yugoslavia
