Abstract
Chrysanthemum stunt virus (CSV) increased the total RNA of the leaves. The total of AMP, ADP, ATP, and UMP, UDP and UTP was higher than the CMP, CDP, CTPplus GMP, GDP and GTP. The maximum changes were found in AMP, UMP, UDP and UTP. The studies suggested that analogue of adenine and uracil might prove useful.
