Symptoms

Leaf tissue is variegated resulting in tissues that have a normal green color being directly adjacent to tissues that are varying shades of yellow to white in color. Variegated tissue patterns may be mosaic or linear.

Control

Plant seed that is known to be free of genetic abnormalities.
