The virus replication capacity (determined by density gradient centrifugation and spectrophotometric virus assay) and severity of symptoms were compared in ten cucumber(Cucumis sativus L.) cultivars infected by cucumber virus 4. Except the expected resistant susceptible and symptomless virus carrier plants a new paradoxial group of cultivars was found. This group is characterized by low virus reproduction rate but simultaneously associated with severe symptoms and is responsible for difficulties in the virus transmission and purification. It is concluded that the critical evaluation of the resistance against viruses of TMV-group must include symptomatic and quantitative virus assays, as there need not be a direct relationship between virus symptoms and the virus increase.
