American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Physalis floridana tests of 591 potato tubers, all but 28 of which were taken from foundation seed lots, showed that 25.4% were infected with a mild strain of potato leaf roll virus. The selection and propagation of sub-clones which gave a negativeP. floridana test resulted in good control of the virus.
