| Abstract: | Samenvatting Hoewel wij in onze opzet nl. het vinden van resistenteLactuca serriola L. niet slaagden, vonden wij zeer grote verschillen in gevoeligheid voor hetLactuca virus 1 tussen de verschillende herkomsten.De herkomsten reageerden ieder voor zich zeer uniform op het virus. Uit de vaak zeer hevige reactie en het ontbreken van symptomen op de planten onder natuurlijke cundities, concluderen wij, dat het virus in Nederland niet op planten van wilde sla voorkomt.Summary Several botanicalLactuca spp. were tested for their susceptibility toLactuca vims 1 . All appeared to be susceptible. As the exact identifications are not certain, specific names are only mentioned ofL. virosa L. andL. serriola L. Of these we tested plants of respectively six and thirty-five different places of origin.The reaction ofL. virosa to lettuce mosaic was in all cases a necrosis. The seed originating from Cologne was distinctly less susceptible (see Table 1). The reaction ofL. serriola to lettuce mosaic was not the same for the different sources of this species. The most common symptom (see Table 2) was a veinclearing followed by mosaic and sometimes necrosis at the end of the growth period. ('s-Hertogenbosch, Arnhem, Blerick, Gulpen and Braunschweig). There were also plants from certain sources which first reacted with symptoms of necrosis (see Table 2). This was a total necrosis (Velp) and there were sources from which the plants grew on with mosaic symptoms and necrotic symptoms (Maurik and Voorst, Fig. 1). The plants from Stockholm and Lent were intermediate between the latter type and the former.L. serriola from Coimbra, received under the name ofL. scariola, reacted with reddish necrotic or glassy translucent spots along the veins (Fig. 2). This symptom disappeared afterwards and changed into faint mosaic symptoms.In September, there were great differences in height of growth between the sources. Therefore, we gave all plants a rating indicating their growth. The rating 0 was given for total necrosis or total stop of growth after infection and the rating 3 for normal growth, whereas ratings 1 and 2 indicated reactions in increasing severity between 0 and 3. When the growth of all 60 plants of one source was normal after infection a total of 60 × 3 = 180 was given.In Fig. 3 the resulting data were mapped. North of the river Waal strains ofL. serriola reacting with necrosis occur. Near Venlo and south of this town strains ofL. serriola were collected which showed the mosaic symptoms accompanied by bad growth, though some strains of plants were found which hardly showed a reduction of growth after infection with the virus.
