Abstract: HSVd D15 is the only reported HSVd intramolecular recombinant. To examine it’s infectivity, recombinant plasmids contained 23 units of HSVd or HSVd D15 cDNAs were constructed and their infectivity were examined on the indicator plant Cucumis sativus L Suyo. As a result, HSVd was detected only from the plants inoculated with multiple units of HSVd cDNAs, but not from the plants inoculated with multiple units of HSVd D15 cDNAs. The infectivity of HSVd D15 should be further confirmed using improved inoculation method or by inoculating it onto viroidfree plums. Construction of the multiple units of HSVd D15 cDNAs provided foundation for the further study on infectivity of HSVd D15 on its original host plum.
