Purification, Characterization, Elisa Optimization and Dosage Effects of Beet Western Yellows Virus

Best Western Yellows (BWY) was described as a plant disease of viral etiology in 1960. The adjective 'western' was selected to distinguish BWY from beet yellows (BY), a previously described yellowing disease of sugarbeet. BWY virus (BWYV) is believed to be of greater economic importance than BY virus because it is more prevalent and more difficult to control. Two broad objectives were defined for this research: (1) characterization of BWYV using current physiochemical techniques and (2) the determination of the effect of different doses of virus on hosts of BWYV.
