- Title
EMILIA SAGITTATA L. AS A TEST PLANT FOR PLANT VIRUSES.
- Authors
Hollings, M.; Stone, Olwen M.
- Abstract
This article presents the result of an experiment on the use of Emilia Sagittata L. as a test plant for plant viruses. Emilia sagittata was infected by 32 isolates of 25 viruses, out of 55 isolates of 44 viruses tested by sap rubbing inoculation. No infection occurred after grafting with chrysanthemum or dahlia scions containing three chrysanthemum, or dahlia mosaic, viruses. Emilia sagittata was a satisfactory host plant from which viruses were readily transferred to other plants, or from which purified virus preparations were obtained.
