Abstract
A hydroponic culture system and the effects of nonchemical and chemical treatments of root inoculum on transmission of maize white line mosaic virus (MWLMV) were evaluated. Root pieces (0.2 g) from 8- to 10-wk-old infected Seneca Chief sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata) plants were used as inoculum to transmit MWLMV to roots of sweet corn test seedlings. MWLMV was transmitted consistently to seedling roots (>90%) as shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). The ELISA values (absorbances at 405 nm) of root inocula and inoculated roots were not significantly correlated (.)
