Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications
Alfalfa latent virus (ALV), a new member of the carlavirus group, was isolated From alfalfa (Medicago sarivo) clones from rbe University of Nebraska experimental plots and from the Farmers' fields. The pea aphid, Acvrihosiphon pisum, transmitted this virus to M. sativa, Pisum sativum, and Viria faba. but not to Trifolium pratense. It was also sap transmissible to V. faba, V. villoso, and P. sarivum, but was not seed-borne in P. sariuum. In V. Jaba sap ALV was infectious at 65 but not at 70 C in 10 min. or …

The sedimentation coefficient of virion I of soil-borne wheat mosaic virus was estimated to be 219S, the same, within error, as the sedimentation coefficient of the dimer of virion II, estimated to be 218S. The monomer of virion II sedimented at 177S, and was 138 nm long. Another strain of the virus had a virion II (designated lIb) that was 92 nm long and sedimented at 159S. The two virus strains coexist in some fields.
