Abstract
In the symptom bearing specimens of Physalis alkekengi L. growing spontaneously in the vicinity of Zagreb (Yugoslavia), a variant of henbane mosaic virus (HMV-HZ) was detected. In parallel experiments by analysing the reaction of test plants, HMV-HZ differed significantly both from the Rothamsted type strain (HMV-R) of the virus, and the ’alkekengi’ strain described from P. alkekengi (HMV-A) in Italy. In slide microprecipitin tests HMV-HZ reacted to the homologous titre (1:16000) of two sera prepared against HMV-R. Cylindrical inclusions and distinct crystalline structures made possible prompt virus identification.
