Abstract
An account is given of the results of transmission experiments with belladonna mottle virus (BMV) to plants from families Scrophulariaceae and Solanaceae and to a few plants from six other families. It was shown that the Yugoslav isolate BMV-M caused both symptoms on inoculated leaves and systemic infection in Digitalis laevigata, D. lútea, Pentstemon angustifolius, P. laevigatus var. digitalis (Scrophulariaceae), hybrid N. clevelandii x N. glutinosa, Physalis jranchetii and Solanum luteum (Solana ceae). Pentstemon spp. displayed more expressed lesions than the other plants examined.
Consequently it seems that the paper brings out the first data on species belonging to Schrophulariaceae as experimental hosts to BMV. The same can, apparently, be stated for the three solanaceous plants mentioned.
In the course of the present work an antiserum to BMV-M with a titre of 1/256 was prepared.
