Tobacco Etch:

Disease ID : ToPDB_DD057

Summary :

Introduction : Tobacco etch disease, is serious in field tomatoes only when the virus is epidemic in nearby burley tobacco and sweet pepper crops.

Pathogen cause : Tobacco etch virus

Host distribution : Lycopersicon esculentum

Sign and Symptoms:

Tobacco etch causes a clearing of the veins and a mild mottling without much leaf distortion. Growth is only slightly retarded.

Etiology:

The virus is transmitted by the green peach and potato aphids in Ontario, but it may be transmitted by other aphids elsewhere. When tobacco etch occurs in greenhouse crops, it is usually in association with tomato mosaic and cucumber mosaic viruses.

Gene(s) Resposible for Disease:

Gene ID :

Control:

Biocontrol: Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria and Chitosan

Chemical control: NA
