Author: T.S.C. Li

Abstract:
Cherry Short Stem virus (SSV) was bud
grafted onto peach cultivars 'Early Redhaven'
and 'Fairhaven.' There were no leaf symptoms
on either cultivar. 'Early Redhaven' fruits showed
uneven bumpy surfaces with mosaic coloration,
and the texture of the fruits was harder than
normal.
There were no visible fruit symptoms
on 'Fairhaven.' Back check on woody indicator
sweet cherry cv. 'Bing' confirmed that the fruit
symptoms on 'Early Redhaven' were caused by
SSV, and that 'Fairhaven' is a symptomless car
rier.
Both Cherry Necrotic Ring Spot virus
(NRSV) and Prune Dwarf virus (PDV) failed to
produce any fruit symptoms on either peach
cultivar.
