Gladioli (Gladiolus hybridus) showing flower colour breaking leaf mosaics, notched leaf, and dwarfing or lack of visible symptoms were collected from gladioli growing areas in Taegu and Kyungpook province, Korea. The three viruses isolated from the naturally infected gladioli were identified as broad bean wilt virus (BBWV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and tobacco rattle virus (TRV) by their host range, immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), direct tissue blotting immunoassay (DTBIA), and intracellural symptoms. By DTBIA and ISEM, TRV was detected in gladiolus showing notched leaf, while CMV was frequently detected in gladioli with dwarfing, color breaking and malformation of flowers. BBWV was also often detected in many symptomless gladiolus plants, but TRV was detected in notched-leaf of gladiolus. Electron microcopic examination of negatively stained preparations showed that BBWV and CMV are spherical particles of 28 nm and 30 nm in diameter, and TRV is rigid rod-shaped particles of 40∼200 nm in length. The rigid rodshaped virus particles reacted positively with TRV antiserum in ISEM and DTBIA, respectively.

Gladioli (Gladiolus hybridus) showing flower colour breaking, leaf mosaics, necrotic fleck, and dwarfing or lack of visible symptoms were collected from gladioli growing areas in Taegu and Kyungpook province, Korea. The two viruses isolated from the naturally infected gladioli were identified as ban yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) and clover yellow vein virus (CIYVV) by their host range, immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), direct tissue blotting immunoassay (DTBIA) and intracellural symptoms. In ultrathin sections of BYMV and CIYVV infected tissues, laminated aggregate-type inclusions, cytopalsmic bodies and nuclear inclusions as well as filamentous virus particles were observed in the cytoplasm of parenchyma cells. By DTBIA and ISEM, BYMV was detected in all tested gladiolus plants showing severe or mild mosaic symptoms, whereas CIYVV were mainly detected from those of mild mosaic symptoms. BYMV is the most prevalent in commercial gladioli and present major production problems. Detection sensitivity of BYMV and CIYVV in crude sap of infected gladiolus leaves by ISEM was about twice compared with ELISA. In a comparison of ELISA, ISEM, DTBIA, BYMV was detected in same degree by DTBIA in samples where sap extracts were positive in both ELISA and ISEM. DTBIA provides a specific, rapid, and simple tool for large-scale diagnosis of BYMV.

Tobacco rattle virus(TRV) was detected from Gladiolus hybridus, Crocus spp. and Narcissus spp. leaves show-ing notched or stripe on the leaf and malformation symptoms collected from Daegu and Kyungbuk province by electron microscopy (EM), immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM) and host range study. Direct negative staining method by EM showed rigid rod long particles 170~200$\times$22 nm and rigid rod short particles 40~114$\times$22 m. TRV-K isolated from G. hybridus propagated with Nicotiana tabacum. TRV coat protein(CP) gene was amplified using specific oligonucleotide primer by RT-PCR. Sequence analysis of amplified CP gene showed 99.5％ nucleotide similarity to TRV-ORY.

A mosaic disease of gladiolus has been commonly observed with an infection rate of $43.3\%$ in the field. Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus(BYMV) produced veinal spreading lesions on Cheonopodium amaranticolor, veinal necrosis and severe leaf distortion on Phaseolus vulgaris 'Scotia' and mosaic on Vi cia faba. Cucumber Mosaic Virus(CMV) produced local lesions on C. amaranticolor, mosaic symptoms on Nicotiana glutinosa and Cucumis sativus. BYMV and CMV were transmitted by the green peach aphid. Purified BYMV and CMV had a typical maximum absorption at 260nm. In agar gel diffusion test, BYMV and CMV gave positive reaction with their homologous antiserum. The size of BYMV was 750nm in length, and CMV was 30nm in diameter.
