Abstract:Babaco is a hybrid cultivar native to the Andean region of Ecuador and Colombia, commercially attractive for its fruit. Babaco production in Ecuador faces losses from plant pathogens like babaco mosaic virus (BabMV), an RNA virus that causes chlorosis, leaf mottling and deformation. Phylogenetic studies link BabMV to papaya mosaic virus (PapMV), alternanthera mosaic virus (AltMV), and senna mosaic virus (SenMV). To address this threat, we developed novel species-specific primers to detect BabMV targeting a 165… Show more
