Abstract

Eight cultivars, comprising 18% of clonal grasses tested during post-entry quarantine at the Plant Quarantine Station, Rydalmere, were found to be infected by virus. Five infected cultivars were detected only by dsRNA analysis. Cultivars infected with potyviruses were not reliably detected with dsRNA analysis, but were reliably detected using mechanical inoculation to sweet corn cv. Supagold.
