Isolated RNA genomic segments (RNAs 1, 2, and 3) of tomato aspermy virus and of three strains of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were inoculated to leaves of Chenopodium amaranticolor Costs and Reyn in all combinations. The data presented demonstrate that whereas RNA 3 is readily interchangeable between the two viruses to produce infections resulting in lesion development, RNAs 1 and 2 are not, although they are interchangeable between the three CMV strains. The possible significance of these observations to virus taxonomy is discussed.
将番茄不孕病毒以及三种黄瓜花叶病毒（CMV）株系的分离RNA基因组片段（RNA 1、2和3）以所有组合接种到苋色藜的叶片上。所呈现的数据表明，虽然RNA 3在两种病毒之间很容易互换以产生导致病斑发展的感染，但RNA 1和2则不然，尽管它们在三种CMV株系之间是可互换的。讨论了这些观察结果对病毒分类学的可能意义。
