Schneider, Research Pathologist, Plant Virology Laboratory, Plant Protection Institute, ARS, USDA, Beltsville, Maryland 20705. Phytopathology 63:1429-1430. DOI: 10.1094/Phyto-63-1429.
Satellite (S-TRSV) of tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) was transmitted with activator TRSV by Xiphinema americanum from cucumber to cucumber. Plants became systemically infected with both TRSV and S-TRSV after nematode transmission, developing a chlorotic mottle in young leaves. Symptoms were indistinguishable between cucumber plants infected with TRSV alone and plants with TRSV plus S-TRSV.
