Abstract/Contents:Two isolates from Dactylis glomerata in Scotland differed in symptoms and host range from those obtained in Wales and the German Federal Republic. They were serologically more closely related to a Dutch isolate from D. glomerata and to a Scottish isolate from Phleum pratense than was the German isolate from D. glomerata. The Scottish isolate from P. pratense was more virulent than, but serologically closely related to, a Welsh isolate from P. pratense. Particles of the Scottish isolates from both hosts were best preserved from electron microscopy by fixation with osmium tetroxide. In 1 M KCl or 0.01 M ethylene diamine tetraacetate they were stable at pH 5.2-5.3 but unstable above pH 7; they were disrupted by 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulphate, The particles contained major and minor RNA components of mol. wt. c. 1.5 X 106 (RNA-1) and 0.5 X 106 (RNA-21), respectively, with polydisperse RNA of intermediate mol. wt. and protein of mol. wt. c. 27 000. In CsCl gradients, major and minor nucleoprotein components of density 1.39 and 1.38 g/ml respectively were distinguished. The less dense particles contained a larger proportion of intermediate sized RNA molecules and of RNA-2, and a smaller proportion of RNA-1, than did the denser particles. Particles seemed to contain either RNA-1 or various combinations of smaller RNA molecules. Despite the differences in antigenic constitution, symptoms and particle stability between isolates obtained from the 2 spp. in different countries, these isolates seem sufficiently similar to be considered 1 virus.
