Summary

Resistance in white cabbage to external necrosis caused by turnip mosaic virus had a significant genetic component. Estimates of heritability ranged from 41% to 48%. Resistance to internal necrosis was determined by unknown environmental factors with no significant genetical component. Although correlation between external and internal symptoms was poor in general, plants which had no external symptoms at harvest did not develop internal symptoms during storage. It is proposed that selection for lack of external symptoms will also produce lines resistant to internal symptoms.
