Comparison of the Genome RNA Sequence Homologies between Isolates of Cherry Leaf Roll Virus by Complementary DNA Hybridization Analysis

The sequence homologies between the RNA genomes of seven European and one North American isolate of cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) were compared using cDNA hybridization analysis. A high degree of homology (85 to 95%) was detected between birch and cherry isolates of the virus, but lower levels of homology (46 to 48%) were inferred when these were compared with a rhubarb or a North American dogwood isolate of CLRV.
