Aggressiveness of Cuban Papaya ringspot virus Isolates on Carica papaya L. cv. Maradol Roja under Greenhouse Conditions

Carica papaya is a major fruit crop in tropical and subtropical regions; however, its production has several constraints. Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is the most important pathogen affecting papaya plantations. Symptoms induced by a known PRSV isolate on papaya plants after mechanical inoculation were described to elaborate an evaluation scale under greenhouse conditions. The aggressiveness of 24 Cuban PRSV isolates was determined by assessing symptom severity induced on papaya plants cv. Maradol roja under greenhouse conditions. An evaluation scale ... view more»
