Abstract

Satsuma dwarf virus (SDV) causes serious damage to citrus production, reducing fruit quality and yield. In this study of the effect of SDV infection on growth of 2-year-old pot-grown trees of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) and citrus hybrids ‘Setoka’, ‘Tamami’, and ‘Harumi’, SDV-infected trees of Satsuma mandarin, ‘Tamami’, and ‘Setoka’ had altered leaf shapes, shorter leaves and tree forms than did virus-free trees, but these traits did not differ significantly between SDV-infected and SDV-free trees of ‘Harumi’.
