The Detection of Viruses with Nematode Vectors in Six Woody Hosts
Commonwealth Forestry Institute, South Parks Road, Oxford Long Ashton Research Station Long Ashton, Bristol
Arabis mosaic virus (AMV) was transmitted to herbaceous hosts with foliar sap from the following donor woody plants: Fraxinus americana L. with distorted leaves having chlorotic ring patterns, Hedera helix L. with foliar yellow chevrons, rings or blotches, Jasminum officinale L. aureo-marmorata Hort. with yellow rings and blotches, Laburnum vossii Hendr. with stunting shoot proliferation and terminal dieback (button-top) and Spiraea douglasii Hooker with leaf enations and yellow veins. In three instances, affected donors plants were growing in soil infested with nematodes carrying virus.
Strawberry latent ringspot virus with AMV was transmitted from one of the H. helix donors; AMV and tobacco rattle virus were transmitted from roots but not leaves of Populus x euramericana.
