Incidence of Coleus blumei viroid 1 in Seeds of Commercial Coleus in Korea
A viroid was detected from symptomless Coleus blumei cultivar ‘Kong Scarlet’. It consisted of 249 nucleotides (GenBank accession no. EU410620), which was 100% identical to a Coleus blumei viroid 1 (CbVd 1) reported from China (GenBank accession no. DQ178399), indicating that the viroid was an isolat...

| Summary: | A viroid was detected from symptomless Coleus blumei
cultivar ‘Kong Scarlet’. It consisted of 249 nucleotides
(GenBank accession no. EU410620), which was 100%
identical to a Coleus blumei viroid 1 (CbVd 1) reported
from China (GenBank accession no. DQ178399), indicating
that the viroid was an isolate of CbVd 1. Attempts
were made to determine if commercial Coleus seeds
were infected with CbVd. Infection rates in seedlings of
the 14 commercial cultivars of Coleus ranged from 0 to
100%. CbVd 1 caused discoloration and growth retardation
in some cultivars, but is symptomless in others.
These results indicated that Coleus in commercial
markets in Korea is highly infected with CbVd. KCI Citation Count: 11 |
