Abstract

Mycoplasma-like bodies, isolated from corn plants that were infected with Rio Grande strain of corn stunt, were maintained in an artificial cell-free medium. The agent apparently multiplied. Leafhopper vectors that were injected with the pure cultures transmitted the agent to healthy corn plants and induced the corn stunt disease.
