Abstract

Prolonged infection of tomato hybrid (×) by (CEVd) resulted in viroid-like enlarged structures, detected by gel electrophoresis. This population included two new enlarged variants or D-variants, D-87 and D-76, and three transient species or D-forms, D-38, D-40 and D-43. Sequence analyses exposed a locus near the terminal repeat region where major changes appeared consistently. In transmission tests to CEVd hosts, a variety of progeny populations were recovered, including progeny enlargements of and reversions to CEVd, as well as sequence fidelity to the inoculum. Transmission tests to citrus hosts of the genera , or were unsuccessful. The importance of host specificity to the recovery and processing of the various CEVd-related structures, as well as the temporal variability of progeny populations, was demonstrated.
