Table 2
Estimates of virus accumulation, virus effects on vegetative and reproductive growth, virulence, and seed transmission rate in the ‘original’ stock Cen-1 plants for three CMV strains passaged five times by strict vertical, strict horizontal and alternating vertical and horizontal transmission, plus non-evolved strains.
