Abstract
Two sap-transmissible viruses were isolated from patchouli (Pogostemon patchouli) in Japan. The virus source plants showed faint mosaic, mottling, or no symptoms. In electron microscopic examinations, however, elongated (760 nm in length) or spherical (27 nm in diameter) viruslike particles were found. The spherical virus, designated patchouli mild mosaic virus (PaMMV), infected plants in seven families and was found to be serologically related to, but different from, broad bean wilt virus. The elongated virus, named patchouli mottle virus (PaMoV), had a narrower host range and was identified as a member of the Potyviridae on the basis of particle morphology, formation of cytoplasmic inclusions, and a distant serological relationship with turnip mosaic potyvirus
