AbstractSeven isolates of tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) from grape, cherry, two cultivars of blueberry, tobacco, soybean and watermelon were compared in this study. The most virulent isolate was from‘Jersey’blueberry and the least virulent isolate was from soybean. The‘Jersey’blueberry isolate and the watermelon isolate could be distinguished serologically from all other isolates. The‘Jersey’blueberry isolate was different in electrophoretic mobility from the soybean and tobacco isolates. A unique technique for comparing the in vitro translation products of three of the TRSV isolates is described.
