Determination of woody tissue attacking viruses and evaluation of their distribution in pome fruit trees
Abstract
This study has been carried out on apple, pear and quince fruit crops during 2006-2009 in Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Mersin, Niğde and Osmaniye provinces. The aim of the study was to detect Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) on pome fruits and evaluation of the distribution of those pathogens according to the pome fruit species and inspected regions. During the survey, 619 samples were collected from 134 orchards and, 18.4% of the samples were founded as ASPV, ASGV or ASPV+ASGV infected by ELISA test. The distribution of the diseases was determined as 10.3% ASPV, 5.5% ASGV and 2.6% ASPV+ASGV. The infection rate of the species were determined as 19.4, 18.3 and 17.4% in pear, apple and in quince, respectively. Results showed that the highest distribution of those pathogens is 23.2% in Adana whereas the lowest distribution was detected in Mersin as 11.4%. The presence of these diseases was confirmed also by molecular and biological means.
