Seasonal variation in disease development in tomato under single and mixed infection with Potato X potexvirus and Tobacco mosaic tobamovirus

Both the initial, and long term symptom responses to single and mixed infections with potato x potexvirus (PVX) and the L (wild strain) and LIIA (attenuated strain) of tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV) were monitored in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill), cultivar GCR 236 (+/+) which were raised under greenhouse conditions at different seasons of the year in Japan.
