Abstract
WE are using Capsicum annuum L. and C. pendulum Willd. as indicator plants for potato virus X. Capsicum annuum develops systemic mosaic symptoms after infection with virus X, whereas C. pendulum develops necrotic local lesions on the inoculated leaves (unpublished results of B. B. N., G. C. Upreti and B. L. Dutt). We have investigated the inheritance of local lesion and systemic mosaic responses of the two species to virus X infection as identified by the behaviour of F1, F2 and backcross generations inoculated with the virus.
