Symptoms
The symptoms in rice are chlorotic streaks that can coalesce and cause the leaves to turn white. When young plants become infected, they are stunted and in severe cases the leaves turn necrotic and the plants die. Infections that occur before the emergence of the panicle can reduce seed set and quality. RHBV epidemics are cyclic. During the peak of RHBV epidemics, yield losses at the country level have been estimated to be between 25% and 50%.

Famous quotes containing the word symptoms:
“A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“In retirement, only money and symptoms are consequential.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
