Rabbit Anti-LMV polyclonal antibody for ELISA. LMV is a virus with flexuous filamentous particles approximately 750 x 13 nm. It is sap-transmissible to a wide range of species, often seed-borne in lettuce and transmitted by several aphid species in the non-persistent manner. It has a world-wide distribution and a relatively broad host range among dicotyledoneous plants, including many Asteraceae. LMV can cause economic losses in cultivated Asteraceae, especially lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and ornamentals.
