Abstract
In investigations of the causal relationships between disease symptoms and virus infection of plants, three strains of cucumber mosaic virus (viz. N, Price's No. 6 and W) which caused different symptoms in several plant species were studied. The ribonucleic acid components of the three strains were resolved by electrophoresis in 2·4% polyacrylamide/0·5% agarose gels and their sizes relative to those of the two ribosomal RNAs of Escherichia coli estimated. All three strains contained the four major RNA species
