Detection kits for Tomato Planta Macho Viroid (TPMVd)
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Tomato Planta Macho Viroid (TPMVd) is the causal agent of a disease of tomato known as “Planta Macho” (male plant) disease, which occurs primarily in the Mexican states of Morelos and Mexico. Symptoms of the disease resemble those induced in tomato by the potato spindle tuber viroid, but are more severe. Infected plants are severely stunted and exhibit strong epinasty of leaves and leaflets. Infected plants produce more flowers and fruits than healthy plants, however the fruit remains small and has no commercial value. In the field the disease appears to be spread via contact with diseased foliage or contaminated tools. Norgen’s Tomato Planta Macho Viroid RT-PCR Detection Kit is a rapid and sensitive TPMVd detection tool which can be applicable for the early diagnosis of TPMVd.
