Surveys conducted during 1986-1988 showed that a strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was the most frequent virus isolated from red pepper cultivars in Kangwon, Korea. The diseased plants showed first yellow mosaic symptoms followed by mild mosaic, and finally dark greening and leaf curls on leaves. This virus was identical with ordinary strain (OM) or tomato strain (T) in the morphology of the particle, but it caused symptomless infection or mild mosaic symptoms on tobacco (cv. Samsun) and tomato. Although the virus produced local lesions on tobacco (cv. Bright Yellow), it induced yellow mosaic symptoms on Physalis floridana and small local lesions on leaves of Nicotiana glutinosa. This virus serologically different from both TMV-OM and TMV-T, though these viruses had some common antigens. On the basis of symptomatology, reactions of indicator plant and serological relationships, the virus was identified as pepper strain of TMV (TMV-P).
