| Description |
During a survey for viruses infecting gladiolus (
Gladiolus
grandiflorus
) around Palampur in the Kangra Valley,
some plants were identified that showed notched leaf
blade margin symptoms, which is characteristic of
Tobacco rattle virus
(Genus
Tobravirus
; TRV) (Yamaji
et al
., 1998). These symptoms were observed on the
cultivars Top Brass, Aldebaran and Oscar. Using doubleantchibody
sandwich (DAS) ELISA, plants showing symptoms
gave a positive reaction with polyclonal antibodies
specific to TRV (obtained from Agdia, Elkhart, IN, USA).
After sap inoculation of
Nicotiana tabacum
, characteristic
TRV symptoms of necrotic local lesions, followed
by systemic mottling, were observed (Brunt
et al
., 1996).
The presence of TRV in these plants was confirmed using
DAS-ELISA. The results of these tests confirm the presence
of TRV in gladiolus in India. TRV has previously been
reported in gladiolus from other parts of the world,
including Holland, Israel, Egypt and Poland (Stein, 1995).
However, this is the first report of the occurrence of
TRV in gladiolus from India and, as far as the authors can
determine, the first formally published report of TRV in
any crop in India.
