Abstract

Apple mosaic
virus,  apathogen of stone and pome
fruits and hazelnut worldwide, shows great variability in its biological,
serological and molecular properties. Apple mosaic virus (ApMV) variants were
collected from hazelnut plantations located in Black Sea region of Turkey and
the apple isolates were collected from main apple cultivation areas. The
infection was present on different local hazelnut varieties but the infection
was only detected on Granny Smith apple variety in Turkey. The Rubus plantations surrounding the
orchards were also infected with ApMV. The coat protein sequences of fifteen
ApMV variants from different hazelnut varieties and the ‘Granny Smith’ apple variety
were obtained  and the phylogenetic
analyses  were performed. The sequences
obtained from hazelnut revealed slightly different in nucleic acid and amino
acid composition compared to the sequences obtained from apples in Turkey. Since
the Granny Smith is originated from abroad, the infection might be imported by
the infected plant material to Turkey.
