Extracts from the roots ofBoerhaavia diffusa L., stems ofCuscuta reflexa Roxb. or leaves ofEuphorbia hirta L. have shown a potential protective effect on the infection of potato virus X, in hypersensitive and systemic hosts. The inhibition by these extracts was systemic and sensitive to actinomycin D.
