Detection kits for PLMVd Available in 1 format for analysis: Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) is a viroid specific to peach and consisting of a circular single-stranded RNA of 336-339 nt. It has been widely distributed around the world transmitted by graft propagation, and to a lesser extent by aphids. Although most infections occur without conspicuous symptoms, certain PLMVd isolates induce leaf mosaics, blotches and in the most extreme cases albinism (peach calico, PC), flower streaking, delays in foliation, flowering and ripening, deformations and decolorations of fruits, bud necrosis, stem pitting and premature ageing of the trees, which also adopt a characteristic growing pattern (open habit) . PLMVd can be detected by molecular methods including polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, dot-blot hybridization with radioactive and non-radioactive probes and RT-PCR.
