In June 2004, virus-like symptoms were observed in the foliage of yellow oleander (Thevetia nereifolia Juss. ex. Steud.; family Apocynaceae) and common nandina (Nandina domestica Thunb.; family Nandinaceae) growing in the Botanical Garden of Bologna University (Italy). The systemic symptoms induced on Nicotiana tabacum L. “Samsun”, N. bethamiana Gray and Capsicum annuum L. suggested a cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infection. The presence of this virus was verified by the protein A-sandwhich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PAS-ELISA) technique. RT-PCR confirmed the presence of CMV in both the original yellow oleander and common nandina plants.

Abstract
In June 2004, virus-like symptoms were observed in the foliage of yellow oleander (Thevetia nereifolia Juss. ex. Steud.; family Apocynaceae) and common nandina (Nandina domestica Thunb.; family Nandinaceae) growing in the Botanical Garden of Bologna University (Italy). The systemic symptoms induced on Nicotiana tabacum L. “Samsun”, N. bethamiana Gray and Capsicum annuum L. suggested a cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infection. The presence of this virus was verified by the protein A-sandwhich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PAS-ELISA) technique. RT-PCR confirmed the presence of CMV in both the original yellow oleander and common nandina plants.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
