 OB:  Devise and implement rapid biochemical methods for detection of
 economically important small fruit viruses in the Pacific Northwest. Apply
 these methods to questions of survival and spread of these viruses and to
 their elimination in superior small fruit cultivar clones. 
 AP:  Develop antisera and rapid serological detection methods for small fruit
 virusesof economic importance in the Pacific Northwest, emphasizing strawberry
 viruses, listed in decreasing priority order: mild yellow-edge, crinkle,
 mottle, pallidosis agent, and veinbanding. For each acquire pure isolates;
 develop virus purification protocols; eliminate final contaminating healthy
 components by special methods; develop specific polyclonal/monoclonal
 antisera; use these antisera in suitable serological tests for the most
 sensitive accurate virus detection achievable; and apply the developed system
 to field detection of the virus in crop, weed, and vector reservoirs to work
 out its ecological relationships. 
 PR:  4712 TO 9305 
      In cooperation with its parallel USDA ARS project, OR 137 emphasized
 research onthe identification, characterization, epidemiology and control of
 the major viruses infecting small fruit crops in Oregon. A number of viruses
 were identified in strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and
 elderberry. Some were partially characterized, and their methods of
 dissemination determined. Methods of elimination of these viruses from clones
 of cultivars were refined and systematically used to develop lines of standard
 cultivars and advanced selections free from known viruses and virus-like
 diseases. These lines were then routinely increased free from viruses and made
 available to requesting scientists and Oregon and other State Departments of
 Agriculture on an ongoing basis that is still continuing. No patents were
 applied for on this project. 
 PB:  4712 TO 9305 
      During the last 26 years of this project and jointly in each case with
 USDA ARS,a total of 159 research papers were published. All published before
 1992 are cited in previous CRIS reports. The following publications appeared
