Abstract: Fungus-transmitted plant viruses are liable to naturally delete some internal sequences from their genomes in infected plants during repeated mechanical passages.In this paper,a deleted mutation in RNA2 of WYMV was detected after the 27 passage of mechanical innoculation in wheat by RT-PCR and Northern blot.Sequence analysis showed that a contiguous sequence of 2595 nucleotides(from nt 214 to nt 2808) was internally deleted from WYMV RNA2 and flanked by seven reverse repeated compatible nucleotides which can form a loop-stem structure.A short sequence rich of base A(or U) connect to the left deleted region,which is the deletion signal in many viruses.The possible mechanism of the generation of deleted RNA2 of WYMV is discussed.

Key words: WYMV, Repeated mechanical passages, Location of spontaneously of RNA2
