The number of pods per plant, on the contrary, was often higher in systemically infected plants than in uninoculated controls. An average of 17.4% of the pods produced by the BSMV-infected plants, however, did not produce seed. The virus was transmitted in 11.1% of the mature seeds produced by the BSMV-inoculated Diacol-Calima plants
