_Fig mosaic disease_ (FMD) was systemically transmitted to susceptible fig plants by grafting and led to development of symptoms including a wide array of discoloration, green blisters, mottling, crinkling and deformation of leaves and fruits. A sensitive assay for the detection of FMV using specific enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was developed. A double-stranded RNA ca. ... إقراء المزيد
