4. Host range and symptoms Natural host range and symptoms
First reported in Rosa spp. and Malus domestica; from the U.S.A.; by White (1928) and Bradford and Joley (1933).
Natural host range and symptoms
Symptoms persist.
Malus domestica and Malus spp. - mosaic.
Rosaceae (many species) - necrotic ringspots.
Humulus spp. - mottling.

5. Geographical distribution
Transmission
Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting (of roots); possibly not transmitted by seed; but probably transmitted by pollen to the pollinated plant.
Geographical distribution
Probably distributed worldwide.

6. Experimental host range
Many (>9) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show necrotic and chlorotic local lesions, systemic mottles, mosaics and ringspots.

7. Physical and biochemical properties Properties of particles in sap
TIP: 54 °C (in extracts stabilized with mercaptoethanol). LIV: days (2-4 hours in buffered extracts, 2-5 minutes in crude sap). DEP: log10minus 3 (in stabilized 2-mercapto-ethanol sap diluted in buffer). Leaf sap contains few virions. Electron microscopy: treat with 1% glutaraldehyde before negative staining.

8. Particle morphology
Virions isometric; not enveloped; 25 and 29 nm in diameter (and probably a third size); rounded in profile (and pleomorphic); without a conspicuous capsomere arrangement.

10. Biochemical properties
Physical properties
Three sedimenting components in purified preparations; sedimentation coefficient of the fastest 117 S; of the other(s) 88 and 95 S.
Biochemical properties
Virions contain 16 % nucleic acid (all components); 84 % protein; 0 % lipid.
Genome consists of RNA; single-stranded; of three parts. Genomic nucleic acid isolated by Gonsalves and Fulton (1977). Additional factor required for infectivity (coat protein).

11. Replication does not depend on a helper virus.
Features of the genome
Non-genomic nucleic acid found in the virions; is subgenomic mRNA; for the coat protein. Sub-genomic mRNA found in infected cells.
Features of proteins
Virion protein(s) one; Mr  Method of preparation: Gonsalves and Fulton (1977).
Replication
Replication does not depend on a helper virus.

12. Taxonomy and relationships Ilarvirus: Bromoviridae (subgroup 3)
Virus(es) with serologically related virions
Prunus necrotic ringspot virus, but distantly.
Virus(es) with serologically unrelated virions
Tobacco streak, Tulare apple mosaic, prune dwarf, citrus variegation, citrus leaf rugose, asparagus 2 and elm mottle viruses.

13. Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms
Amaranthus tricolor, Teramnus uncinatus - small brown local lesions.
