Abstract

Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) isolates from different geographical origins were surveyed for natural occurrence of satellite RNA. The results of molecular hybridization assays indicated that 5 isolates out of 34 tested, support the multiplication of a satellite RNA, both in Chenopodium quinoa and grapevine. The satellite molecules appear to have a high degree of sequence homology with, and the same size of, the satellite RNA supported by GFLV-F13 strain, isolated and characterized in France.
