Abstract
Aphis gossypii transmitted an agent or agents which resulted in the development of internal cork lesions in the roots of a cork free stalk of the Unit I Porto Rico variety of sweet potato. The data indicate that virus concentration in the plant must reach a high threshold level before lesions develope extensively in the root.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
