A seed lot of pea cv. Belinda was shown to transmit with high frequency a latent strain of Pea seed‐borne mosaic virus, weakly detectable in ELISA only 5 weeks after plant growth. This strain did not induce apparent symptoms on plants, was no more detectable in 9 week old plants and showed a reduced multiplication even on retro‐inoculating healthy pea plants; contrarily, the common strain could be easily detected in the seed and young seedlings on which it induced clearcut symptoms.
