Abstract excerpt
Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) is the causal agent of exocortis disease of citrus. CEVd has a wide host range that includes woody and herbaceous species. A new CEVd strain (CEVd(COL)), phylogenetically clustering with CEVd variants of Class A inducing severe symptoms in tomato, was identified in Colombia and shown to induce only extremely mild symptoms in Etrog citron indicator plants. Using site-directed...
