Occurrence of a strain of eggplant mottled crinkle virus in Solatium capsicastrum in India.

Leaf crinkle symptoms, stem necrosis and stunting were observed in Solanum cupsicastrum plants in India. A virus was isolated from these plants and identified as a strain of eggplant mottled crinkle virus based on host reactions, in vitro properties, icosahedral particle morphology, buoyant density (1.39 g cm³), molecular weight (41 ± 0.5 kDa) of coat protein subunits, and serological relationships.
