What Does CPMV Stand For?

CPMV stands for Cowpea Mosaic Virus

Cowpea Mosaic Virus (CPMV) is a plant virus belonging to the family Secoviridae. It primarily infects cowpea plants and is transmitted by aphids. CPMV is characterized by its mosaic-like symptoms on leaves, resulting in stunted growth and reduced yield. The virus is of significant interest in plant pathology and agricultural research due to its impact on legume crops and potential applications in biotechnology.
