The Citrus Exocortis Viroid ( CEVd ) is a viroid and in its line as CEVd-cit the subviral pathogen of a disease of citrus plants called Citrus Exocortis ( Citrus spp.). In affected plants, growth disorders and yield losses can occur. The disease is sometimes referred to as "scalybutt". and occurs in all citrus fruit regions of the world.
etymology
The term "Exocortis" was introduced by Fawcett and Klotz in 1948 to describe a bark flaking disease of the three-leaved bitter orange ( Poncirus trifoliata ) (Exo = outside area, Cortis = bark).
Clinical picture
Infestation with CEVd manifested by peeling the bark, especially in the trifoliate bitter orange Poncirus trifoliata or P. trifoliata - hybrids , and can lead to significant yield losses without compromising the quality of the fruit itself. Other symptoms are leaf epinasty , dwarfism (English "stunting") and necrosis of the leaf midrib .
In contrast, CEVd of the CEVd-tom line ( Indian tomato bunchy top viroid ) infects tomato plants. The resulting Exocortis disease is sometimes referred to as "tomato bunchy top disease".
