%X Six potato virus Y isolates from Victoria and Queensland were characterized on the basis of host plant reactions. Four isolates from potato produced symptoms in indicator plants and potato cultivars consistent with those caused by the PVYO group. Two isolates from tobacco produced necrotic symptoms on some tobacco cultivars characteristic of the PVYN group, but did not systemically infect potato cultivars and therefore could not be considered to belong to any of the previously described PVY strain groups. Despite the wide variation in their biological characteristics, an antiserum produced to one of the potato isolates was able to detect all six of the isolates when used in ELISA
