Virus symptoms : Virus infected plants can display a wide range of different symptoms. The whole plant can be stunted (dwarf-like) and infected leaves can show abnormal colorations like mosaics and yellowing. Very often infected leaves have a rolling or curly appearance and also the fruits can display various symptoms dependent on the virus. The yield of crop plants can be severely reduced by a virus infection. However, the age of the plants, the viral strain and many other factors are affecting both yield and symptoms of infected plants.
