Abstract

Pelargonium line pattern virus (PLPV), a so far ungrouped virus isolated from Pelargonium zonale, provokes intracellular changes very similar to those of some diantho- viruses. We found that the virus sedimented as a single component, contained a single polypeptide species with an Mr of 38,000 and an RNA molecule of 1.2 X 10° daltons. As PLPV was proved to be characterized with monopartite genome, it is impossible to propose the affiliation of this virus species to dianthovirus group, despite very similar cytopathic effect.
