Abstract
The effect of three strains of Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) infection on the nitrogen metabolism of Luffa acutangula leaves were studied and found that the infected levels of total nitrogen, total protein, nitrate and nitrate nitrogen and some of free amino acids (aspartic, proline, serine & cysteine) were higher in compari son to healthy plants, but ammonical nitrogen, threonine, alanine and lysine were low.
