Zantedeschia albomaculata, commonly called the spotted calla lily [2] (although Calla is a genus unto itself) or the white spotted arum, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family, Araceae. [3]
In order to introduce colours to the large white calla lilies, like the many colours available in the dwarf summer calla lilies, attempts have been made to hybridise Z. aethiopica with Z. elliotiana. These have resulted in albino progeny, which are non-viable. [citation needed]
The Lily mottle virus (LMoV), is a plant virus of the Potyviridae virus family that causes asymptomatic to mild diseases of individual plant parts in plants of the lily family . However, a frequently occurring simultaneous infection with other plant viruses, which on their own only cause moderate or no disease, can cause an entire plant to perish.
Interspecific hybridization occurs since all the species have the same chromosome number (2n = 2x = 60); except H. ventricosa which is a natural tetraploid that sets seed through apomixis. Many cultivated hostas formerly described as species have been reduced to cultivars ; these often have their names conserved, and retain Latinized names ...
When viruses are transmitted by seeds, the seed is infected in the generative cells and the virus is maintained in the germ cells and sometimes, but less often, in the seed coat. When the growth and development of plants is delayed because of situations like unfavorable weather, there is an increase in the amount of virus infections in seeds.
Lily usually refers to herbaceous plants of the genus Lilium, with large showy trumpet-shaped flowers. Many species are cultivated as ornamentals. Many species are cultivated as ornamentals. Many other plants not closely related to lilies are called lilies, usually because their flowers resemble lilies.
Typically the best way to manage a virus problem is to get rid of any vectors that may carry the disease. This easily can be done by an insecticide. Another acceptable method would be resistance plants. These plants would kill off any infected cells, not allowing the virus to spread.
Plants grow best between 70 and 90 °F (21 and 32 °C). Once at a size ready for sale, plants are sprayed with gibberellic acid, which induces flowering 9 to 12 weeks after a single treatment. [4] It lives best in shade and needs little sunlight to thrive, and is watered approximately once a week.
