Comparison of the Czech Scrophularia isolate with the Italian Anagyris strain of scrophularia mottle virus.

Scrophularia mottle virus (ScMV) was newly found in the Czech Republic in Scrophularia nodosa L. plants. The Czech isolate (ScMV-C) was serologically identical and similar in symptoms and host range to the Italian Anagyris strain (ScMV-I). Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun, Nicotiana glutinosa L., Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. White Burley, Physalis floridana Rybd. and Cucumis sativus L. are described as new host plants of ScMV. Double-stranded RNA patterns and the isoelectric point of this virus are characterized.
