Abstract

Tomato plants exhibiting mosaic and mottling symptoms were collected from the research field of Punjab Agricultural University during 2016-17. DAS-ELISA test using pepper mottle virus (PepMoV) antiserum showed positive reaction to 5 of 25 tomato samples collected. Further molecular characterization of virus was carried out by using potyvirus specific primer pairs corresponding to most conserved and variable genes viz., Nuclear inclusion b (NIb) and P1 respectively. RT-PCR assay confirmed the association of PepMoV with tomato crop under field conditions in India.
