Abstract

Several strains of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) can be differentiated on the basis of the phenotypic response of various soybean cultivars (e.g., the soybean line Williams ‘82 is susceptible to all SMV strains, whereas the lines P. I. 96983, L78‐379, and Davis are functionally immune to SMV strain G2 but susceptible to strains G7 and G7a). Inoculation of the immune lines with G2, followed 2 days later by inoculation with G7 or G7a, resulted in systemic spread of the avirulent SMV G2. Further evidence, suggests that complementation groups of SMV strains may exist.
