Abstract

A new mechanically transmissible viruslike disease, subterranean clover distortion, was found in subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) in a pasture in New South Wales. The pathogen has a wide experimental host range. Symptoms varied from thickening and distortion of young leaves, reddening of older leaves, and production of axillary shoots on subterranean clover to chlorosis of leaves, flower malformation, flower abortion, and stem necrosis on other hosts. Symptomless shoots often developed on infected plants. No local lesion host was identified (.)
