Summary
High molecular weight double-stranded (ds) RNAs have been detected in apparently virus-free French (common) bean Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Black Turtle Soup (BTS). Several other bean cultivars were free of detectable high molecular weight dsRNAs. The dsRNAs have been partially characterized and have homology to the BTS genome as well as to the genomes of other bean cultivars. The T m of hybrids formed between BTS DNA and denatured dsRNA have been estimated.
