Abstract

In an attempt to unravel the complexity of chrysanthemum virus B eight isolates were grafted onto the chrysanthemum indicator cultivars ‘Fanfare’, ‘Good News’, ‘Mistletoe’, and ‘Pink Marble’. Six symptomatologically different entities could be distinguished. However, withantisera prepared against two of the isolates, no serological differences were detected. It is concluded that chrysanthemum virus B consists of many strains and that the number of strains that can be distinguished depends on the number of indicator cultivars used. The ‘Good News’, ‘Yellow Doty’, ‘Nightingale’, ‘Improved Bronze Daisy’ and ‘September Morn’, mosaic viruses described by Brierley and Smith (1958) as well as the vein mottle, dwarf mottle and necrotic mottle viruses named by Hollings and Stone (1967) should be considered as strains of chrysanthemum virus B.

Samenvatting

In een poging de complexiteit van het chrysantevirus B te ontrafelen werden acht isolaten geënt op de chrysante-indicatorrassen ‘Fanfare’, ‘Good News’, ‘Mistletoe’ en ‘Pink Marble’. Zes symptomatologisch verschillende eenheden konden worden onderscheiden (Tabel 1; Fig. 1,2 en 3), die echter serologisch niet verschilden. De conclusie wordt getrokken dat van het virus vele stammen voorkomen en dat het anntal te onderscheiden stammen afhangt van het aantal indicatorrassen dat men gebruikt. Ook de vijf mozaïekvirussen van Brierley en Smith (1958) en de leden van het ‘leaf mottling complex’ van Hollings en Stone (1967) dienen als stammen van het chrysantevirus B te worden beschouwd.
