Title: Isolates of raspberry bushy dwarf virus differing in <i>Rubus</i> host range
Abstract: SUMMARY Isolates of raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) occurring in the field at East Mailing Research Station (EMRS), and an isolate from raspberry seed imported from the USSR, were found to differ from the Scottish type isolate (D200) of RBDV in that they infected red raspberry cultivars that are resistant, possibly immune, to isolate D200. Of several red raspberry, blackberry and hybrid berry cultivars and EMRS raspberry selections graft‐inoculated with these recently discovered RBDV isolates only two raspberry cvs (Haida and Rannaya Sladkaya) and one EMRS selection did not become infected. Differences in the conclusions reached in two previous studies on the inheritance of resistance to RBDV in raspberry can be explained by the use of virus isolates that differed in Rubus host range.
