Abstract:
Leaves of Fragaria ananassa Duch. cv. Redgauntlet with mottle and mild dwarf symptoms were grafted onto F. vesca indicator clones. The youngest leaves developed specific vein banding pattern located preferentially on secondary veins near the edge of the leaves. Electron microscopy of ultrathin sections and negatively stained purified virus preparations from symptom-bearing strawberry leaves revealed presence of different-sized isometric virions. Particles of about 50 nm and 23 nm in diameter were identified as strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV) and tobacco necrosis virus (TNV) D strain. Based on results of electron microscopy, DNA hybridization, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and DNA sequencing we propose that the anomalous "leaf edge vein banding" symptoms are caused by a mixed virus infection with SVBV and other viruses such as TNV.
