| What I didn't find in the paper was any indication whether the PNRSV might be transmitted via insects from the bind weed (hateful stuff!) to roses, or whether they caught it FROM the roses. Kim |

 It sounds so much nicer to call it Wild Morning Glory. (the one thing that will be getting round up in the garden) |

| Kim, since it is now possible to determine if these are the same strain of PNRSV or not, I would expect that that determination would be the next step. If they are the same, then the determination that you mentioned should be done (of course it also could be possible that infection could go in both directions). The exact determination of infection route may be more than a scientific curiosity as was discussed in an earlier thread (the USDA's published concern that virused ornamentals could pass viruses to nearby food crops). |

| The common bind weed here is plain, light pink. It gets knocked down with Round Up but comes back up all over. It's a common component in commercial bird food. The client who grows the large Annie Laurie McDowell HAD a bird feeder in her side garden over a decade ago. That's where the bind weed started. I dig it out deeply. I've Round Up'ed it repeatedly. I don't let it grow more than a few inches so I can dowse it with the herbicide and the blamed stuff still comes back. Too bad the PNRSV isn't fatal to it! Kim |
