Begomovirus related to Tomato leaf curl Pakistan virus newly reported in Mentha crops in India
Plant Pathology 58 (2), 404-404
Abstract: Since 2005, spearmint (Mentha spicata) plants grown in India were observed with symptoms of foliar rugosity, light yellow mosaic, upward curling, crinkling and retarded growth, resulting in yield losses. The presence of Tomato leaf curl Pakistan virus was demonstrated in the symptomatic plants using PCR analysis and nucleotide sequencing.
