SUMMARY
The wide variation in appearance of infected plants gives rise to the question whether the name “Stripe” is being applied to one or more diseases. The histological bases of the various types of symptoms are described, and it is shown that they are all produced by the same three factors acting with varying degrees of relative intensity.
It is suggested that the disease is caused by a virus complex having at least three components. Inclusion bodies in the cells of diseased plants are described which resemble the X‐bodies associated with some virus diseases.
This investigation is being carried out under the auspices of the Agricultural Research Council.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
