Abstract

Aphid transmissions to sugar beet seedlings from yellowed sugar beet leaves collected from commercial fields in East Anglia during the summers of 1955, 1956 and 1957, showed the occurrence of two yellowing viruses. One was sugar beet yellows virus (SBYV) and produced vein‐etch and yellowing symptoms on beet seedlings in the glasshouse; the other produced yellowing but no etch. These two viruses were apparently unrelated, so that sugar beet tolerant to one of them would not necessarily be tolerant to the other. The second virus, called ‘sugar beet mild yellowing virus’ (SBMYV), decreased the root yield of sugar beet plants grown under glass, by as much as did the milder SBYV strains, but less than did the severe SBYV strains. The proportions of the two viruses in the samples differed from year to year and from place to place.
