Extract

A virus disease of Atropa belladonna caused by a new virus is described. The virus is sap-transmissible to tobacco and other solanaceous plants and gives good local lesions on Nicotiana glutinosa and Phaseolus vulgaris. It occurs in fairly high concentration in the plant, it withstands ageing in extracted sap for 6–11 days, and is inactivated at a temperature between 75 and 80° C.
