Nebraska plant viruses

Hosta picornavirus

Hosta picronavirus 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.
