Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) plants inoculated with subterranean clover red leaf virus and uninoculated control plants were grown under natural light at five different day/night temperature regimes. Development of red pigment and time for development of red pigment were a function of temperature. At 20/15, 25/20, and 30/25 C older leaves of inoculated plants developed bright red pigment, whereas at 15/10 and 33/28 C they developed mottled reddish-brown or brown pigment. These red-pigmented leaves developed earlier at 20/15, 25/20, and 30/25 C than at 15/10 or 33/28 C. The maximum percentage of red leaves was higher (80%) at 20/15 and 25/20 C than at other temperatures. At harvest (60 days after inoculation), numbers of leaves per plant and fresh weights of both tops and roots of inoculated plants were lower than those of control plants at all temperatures.
