Symptoms
Edit
Leaves show yellowing and/or reddening between veins and stunting of affected plants. Chlorosis of leaves may develop into brittleness.[4]
LettuceEdit
Compact lettuce heads fail to develop.
CucurbitsEdit
In cucurbits, a splotchy mottle or interveinal chlorosis develops on mature leaves. This may be accompanied by vein-clearing, mild mosaic, subtle curling of the tips of young leaves, and a leathery texture in older leaves. Plants are stunted, exhibit poor fruit set and/or incomplete fruit development[4]. Symptoms may appear as early as 3 weeks after plants emerge[5] or 10-12 days after inoculation.
