Summary

All 53 lettuce cultivars inoculated with cucumber mosaic virus became infected. Leaf mosaic symptoms were generally mild and unreliable for distinguishing degrees of resistance between cultivars. Yield reduction was the most satisfactory criterion for evaluating resistance, with reductions in individual cultivars ranging from 8 to 50%.
