| Abstract:
The present communication reports results from a survey of peach varieties introduced to Valencia in recent years with the aim to investigate the infection level of peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd). The implementation of rapid methods of viroid detection in fruit trees through non-isotopic dot-blot hybridization together with a procedure for viroid RNA extraction without the use of organic solvents greatly facilitated the performance of this study. Out of the 134 varieties tested, 110 were infected with PLMVd (82%). | |
