Abstract
Summary: Plants of Cucurbita pepoL. cvs Cinderella, Cobham Bush Green and Goldrush were inoculated with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and some grown at each of three temperatures (15, 20 and 25 °C) and three light intensities (13, 40 and 120 W/ma). Symptom severity in all three cultivars decreased with increased temperature but only for ovs Cinderella and Cobham Bush Green when the light intensity was raised. In general ov. Cinderella was most resistant and cv. Goldrush most susceptible, except at 25 °C, when most plants were symptomless.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
