Abstract
An isolate of wisteria vein mosaic virus (WVMV) obtained fromWisteria sinensis in Prague resembled in its properties WVMV isolates described in Italy and Holland.Nicotiana megalosiphon is reported as a new host of WVMV. Other known host plants showed reactions similar to those described formerly. The incubation period extended in some hosts up to two or four weeks. Pea plants showed symptoms within five to seven days. Species ofApium, Brassica,Datura and others were not susceptible. TIP of Prague isolate of WVMV was 61 °C, at a dilution 1: 5000 47% of plants were infected, and 48 h > LIV > 28 h. Modal particle length was 743 nm. Massive granular inclusions were seen in pea epidermal cells, usually adhering to nuclei that did not show alterations. No serological relation to turnip mosaic virus could be established.
