MATERIALS AND METHODS.–Chrysanthernum morifolium “Deep Ridge'was used as a test plant, and ChCMV-infected Deep Ridge was used as a source of inoculum in all experiments. Inoculum for mechanical inoculations was prepared by removing young newly expanding leaves from plants exhibiting chronic symptoms (severe mottling to complete chlorosis) and grinding the leaves in a precooled mortar with one part (w/v) of bentonite-borate buffer (0, 1 M HBO, and 0.1 M Na BO adjusted to pH 8.0 and mixed 1: 1 with a 1% bentonite solution shaken on a Burrell Wrist-Action shaker for 30 minutes and chilled at 4C). All mechanical inoculations were made as described by Horst et al.(10). Tissue implantation inoculations were performed as previously described by Dimock et al.(5) using 14-and 16-gauge Aspiration Trocarsº (Popper & Sons, Inc.; 300 Benton Ave., New Hyde Park, NY 11040). The total number of plants that exhibited symptoms was recorded on alternate days for 21 days after inoculation. Inoculated plants were then trimmed to approximately 15 cm above the soil surface to induce new growth from lateral buds. Final observations were made 9 days later, and data were expressed as an infectivity index (l, 3); ie, a summation of the number of plants reacting after 30 days, but no dilution factor was used in the data reported here. The infectivity index reflects the total number of plants that had reacted at the completion of the experiment, and also the time at which symptoms appeared, Environmental growth chambers were used to maintain constant temperatures and light conditions (23,672 lx). Inoculum source plants and test plants for greenhouse experiments were maintained at approximately 24C. Supplemental lighting was used during the winter months to maintain a minimum of 10,760 lx for 14 hours of every day. Plants were fertilized
