The transmission of grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1 and hop stunt viroid via seeds was confirmed in 11 seedlings of eight grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ) varieties using a combination of reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction, dot‐blot hybridization and Northern hybridization assays. The viroid profiles found in nine seedlings indicate a differential transmission of viroids via seeds similar to the differential reduction of viroids observed in vines regenerated after shoot apical meristem culture.
