Seed transmission of plum pox virus (sharka) was tested in vineyard peach and apricot cv. Kechkemet Rose (collected in Subotica and Cacak, Yugoslavia) from 1985 to 1987. ELISA technique failed to detect virus presence in peach seeds, whereas as a high proportion of mature seeds of apricot was found to be infected (29 Subotica, 37 Cacak). After germination of apricot seed, plum pox virus was not detected by ELISA either in cotyledons or in germs. The virus was localized in the seed coat. The plum pox virus strains present in Cacak and Subotica are not transmissible by apricot and peach seed.
