Abstract:
Responses of 36 crab apple cultivars (Malus spp.) to inoculation with the viruses apple chlorotic leaf spot (CLSV), apple stem pitting (SPV), and apple stem grooving (SGV) are given. SPV symptoms occurred in 19, CLSV symptoms in 11, and no external symptoms of SGV were observed. These results should be considered when selecting crab apple cultivars as inter- planted pollinizers which could be endangered ecause of natural, root, graft transmission from virus infected apple cultivars.
