Abstract

A virus isolate (HRV-D) from Digitalis ciliata Trautv. collected in the Botanical Garden of Zagreb University was investigated in respect of its relation with some other viruses. The virus was compared on basis of its symptoms on differential test plants, serological properties and inclusion bodies with the Yugoslav ribgrass mosaic virus (HRV-Y) and with the common tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). It has been established that the investigated HRV-D belongs to ribgrass mosaic virus (HRV). The rounded plates which are characteristic of the type HRV were very rare, but groups of paracrystalline needles were frequent.
The natural host range of HRV isolates is also discussed.
