Abstract

Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) infects species of Brassicaceae worldwide, including weeds that can act as virus reservoirs. In a survey carried out in brassica fields, we detected CaMV infecting wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) from Southeast and Midwest of Brazil. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CaMV infecting this weed in Brazil. (AU)
