Abstract

The discovery and properties of cryptic viruses are described with particular reference to the cryptic viruses of sugar beet. These unique viruses are characterized by a lack of symptoms in the infected plant, transmission only through seed and pollen and a dsRNA genome. cDNA clones, obtained by molecular cloning of the dsRNA, are being used to further characterize the structure and replication strategies of these viruses and as probes to detect them.
