ANTICUERPO IGG, PEPPER MILD MOTTLE VIRUS, PMMOV PARA 500 ENSAYOS, 1 TUBO_0.1ML

PMMoV is easily transmitted by mechanical inoculation and by handling during cultivation but is also transmitted through contaminated seeds. There is no biological vector known. The virus is of economic importance for pepper crops, particularly under glasshouses and plastic tunnels. Mild leaf chlorosis and growth reduction occur in naturally infected commercial pepper cultivars. Fruits are small, malformed, mottled, and sometimes develop necrotic depressed areas. Stunting is very severe in Capsicum spp. infected at early stages of growth. In field crops, infection may reach 100% and the yield of marketable fruits is drastically reduced. The virus occurs essentially worldwide (2).
