Leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV) is one of the most important viral disease agents causing economic losses in leek cultivation. The presence of this virus has been previously reported in different provinces and regions of Turkey. However, those studies to date in Turkey were limited to the detection of LYSV and characterization the coat protein (CP) gene of LYSV isolates. Moreover, the infection rate of LYSV may vary from year to year. Therefore, this study was initiated to determine the current infection situation of LYSV in Çanakkale province, Turkey and partial molecular characterization of the virus based on two different genomic regions. For those purposes, field studies were conducted in 3 districts of Çanakkale province (Merkez, Ezine and Ayvacık), and 35 leek plants showing virus-like symptoms were sampled in 2019. The samples were tested with double antibody sandwich-enzyme-linked immunosorbent (DAS-ELISA) assay for the presence of LYSV and 32 of 35 collected samples were infected with LYSV. The nuclear inclusion b (NIb) and the CP genes of two new and two 2 previously obtained isolates (Korkmaz and Cevik, 2009) were amplified and sequenced for partial molecular characterization. Multiple sequence alignment studies showed that Çanakkale LSYV isolates have over %90 sequence identities with each other based on two genomic regions. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis revealed that Çanakkale LYSV isolates are closely related to each other especially based on NIb region.
