| Abstract: | A virus isolated from turnip in Aligarh, India, which caused mild mosaic, mottling and curling of leaves followed by overall stunting of plants, was characterized as potato virus X (PVX) on the basis of its host range, biological and physical properties, particle morphology, ultrastructural studies, and serological relationship. |
