Abstract
The article discusses a 2021 report on the infection of tree tomato in Kenya by a mix of Potato spindle tuberviroid (PSTVd) and Potato virus Y (PVY). It states that infected trees have the symptoms of leaf mottling and malformation, and veinal necrosis. Also noted is the need for further study if PSTVd affects tree tomato yield, and to identify its other reservoir hosts.
