Abstract:	Soybean stems that remained green after pods matured and to which leaf petioles were still attached were infected with BPMV. The virus was consistently detected serologically in extracts from the pulvini and commonly from the pith. It could be detected in extracts from seeds from infected plants but not from seedlings that developed from the seeds. Seedlings were successfully inoculated with the virus before the cotyledons opened. Inoculated glasshouse grown plants were stunted, some having terminal and/or axillary necrosis and some remaining green for 200 days. Cvs. and experimental lines tested varied in response to BPMV, tobacco ringspot and tobacco streak viruses.ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:Twenty-nine varieties and lines varied in height, necrotic response and overall symptom severity after inoculation with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), tobacco ringspot virus and tobacco streak virus. Marshall showed resistance to BPMV but none of the varieties was immune
