In April 2004, dwarf gentian (Gentiana sp.) with chlorotic mottle and necrotic spot was found in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The isolated virus infected six plant species of four families after mechanical inoculation. This is the first report of Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) on gentian and we propose the name necrotic mottle disease of gentian.
