Nebraska plant viruses
Hosta picornavirus
![]()
Left panel - Symptoms of Hosta picorna (sequi) virus
Right panel - Minipurification - hosta with solid yellow near periferee - picornavirus (3 proteins)
This is a unique sample. Many years ago I found a Mirabilis nyctaginea plant that yielded similar proteins. The plant persisted for several years and then disappeared (never to return)
The virus is acid stable.
