Abstract
Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) was transmitted through seeds of four highly susceptible cultivars of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook f.) in a screenhouse experiment.Infection was confirmed through visual appraisal and electron microscopy in cvs NHTo 75–10 (14), 54–4 (4), 54–4 (7), and 6–7 (14), to the extent of 20, 10, 6.4 and 6 % respectively.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
