Abstract

Tomato aspermy virus (TAV), the cause of flower deformities and reduction of the yield in cultivated chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum
spp.), was detected in these species in Yugoslavia. The TAV isolates possessed properties similar to those of isolates obtained from chrysanthemums in other countries. Biological and serological tests were not adequate to differentiate between five Yugoslav isolates of the virus. However, in immunoelectrophoresis in agar gel clear and constant, although not big, differences in their electrophoretic movement have been found.
This is the first report of TAV in Yugoslavia.
