Extract

It has been shown that Atropa belladonna acts as a symptomless carrier of Hyosoyamus Virus I. Some symptoms caused by this virus on other solanaceous plants are described.

A naturally occurring virus complex in Hyoscyamus niger was found to consist of Solanum Virus I (potato virus X) and Brassica Virus I. During the course of the investigation it was found that potato virus X forms local lesions on the cotyledons of ridge cucumber without systemic infection and that Brassica Virus I behaves similarly on the inoculated leaves of Nicotiana sylvestris.
