Abstract
Fields of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) in the Fujian province of southern China were afflicted with a severe disease characterized by purpling, yellowing, necrotic lesions, and severe stunting. By using electron microscopy, host indexing, serology, and RNA analysis, we have determined that a new strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-Chi) is the causal agent. A satellite RNA (sat-Chi) was found in the culture. CMV-genomic RNA purified free of the satellite caused the same severe symptoms in tomatoes as seen in the field, excluding the necrotic lesions. THe additions of purified satellite to the inoculum caused necrosis and death of tomatoes within 6+ wk (...)
