Uittreksel
Greenhouse experiments were conducted to
investigate the importance of tomato seeds as a route of
pospiviroid dissemination. More than 7000 seeds were
collected from tomato plants mechanically inoculated
with Tomato apical stunt viroid, Citrus exocortis viroid,
Columnea latent viroid and Potato spindle tuber viroid.
Fruits and part of the seeds were found to be 100 %
infected by the inoculated pospiviroid by means of RTPCR
testing.Much of the rest of the seeds were sown and
produced about 4700 seedlings. None of the seedlings
were found positive for the respective pospiviroid. This
shows that pospiviroid seed transmission in tomato is
very rare
