Abstract: | Summary A clone ofSolanum berthaultii P.I. 265858 was not systemically infected when manually inoculated with isolates of PVX groups 1 to 3 but developed top-necrosis
when grafted-inoculated, demonstrating it is hypersensitive. Plants sap- or graft-inoculated with an isolated of PVX group
4 or with PVXHB (a recently-discovered strain overcoming all reported sources of resistance to PVX) were infected systematically. The plants
were extremely sensitive to these isolates, young leaves becoming necrotic and the plant dying within a few weeks and, whilst
still alive, plants contained little virus and were a poor source of infection. These characteristics suggest that this clone
could provide a means of breeding cultivars that would be protected against all known strains of PVX. |
