Abstract

White clover mosaic virus infection of Ladino clover seedlings resulted in decreased plant weight and a 71 % decrease in the number of nodules per plant without the decrease in nodule size which is usually observed when legumes are virus-infected. Nodule numbers decreased both on plants nodulated with an effective strain and on those with an ineffective strain of Rhizobium.
