Abstract
A high pH buffer containing magnesium, sodium thioglycolate, and nicotine was used successfully to transmit a closterovirus-like particle from sweet cherry (Prunus avium) to the herbaceous host Chenopodium quinoa. Chlorotic spots and stunting were observed on C. quinoa plants 17 days post inoculation.
As a result of host range studies C. amaranticolor was identified as a local lesion host of the virus.
Analysis of the virus coat protein by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of a single protein species with a molecular weight of 20,500 daltons.
