CONTROL POSITIVO, PEAMV, 1 TUBO_2,5ML

Several plant families are susceptible to Petunia asteroid mosaic virus (PeAMV, a tombusvirus) (1,4). Main affected crops are Petunia, hop, cherry, plum, spinach. Infected plants mostly show symptoms of yellow mottling and necrotic lesions (veinal necrosis) on leaves, leaf and shoot distortion, stunting, and fruits with sunken pits. The virus is transmitted by mechanical inoculation or by grafting, and is present in soils from which it can be acquired by host plants (4). The virus occurs in the Eurasian region as well as in North America.
