Wheat streak mosaic virus in Northern and Soutern regions of Yugoslavia

Nikola Juretić ; Hrvatska

Abstract

From wheat plants cultivated in northern and southern regions of Yugoslavia wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) was isolated. Two isolates found were transmitted in a mechanical way to several species of Gramineae but the transmission failed on some Dicotyledones used. The isolates had thermal inactivation point between 50 and 55° C and dilution end point between 10-3 and 10-4.
The investigated isolates were easily transmitted by the eriophyid mite (Aceria tulipae). The virus particles of the isolates were about 700 nm long. In ultrathin sections of infected wheat tissue pin-wheel structures with scrolls were found.
