First record of a Hop stunt viroid variant on Nagpur mandarin and Mosambi sweet orange trees on rough lemon and Rangpur lime rootstocks
Plant Pathology 54 (4), 571-571
Abstract: In a survey of citrus orchards in parts of Central India, symptoms of bark scaling, bark splitting and leaf yellowing were observed on mandarin (C. reticulata) and mosambi (C. sinensis). Electrophoresis under denaturing conditions of total nucleic acid extracted from symptomatic plants indicated the presence of viroid-like RNA in all the samples. RT-PCR analysis revealed the presence of Hop stunt viroid (HSVd), while no amplification was observed with Citrus exocortis viroid specific primers.
