Some Virus Diseases of Edible Seed Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) in Aksaray Province, Turkey
Abstract
Cucurbits
(the Cucurbitaceae family) consist of 119 genera and 825 species and are
cultivated worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.), a member of this
family, is one of the most cultivated and important vegetable species
worldwide. As well as, squash is grown for fresh consuming; its seeds are used
as a snack in some Mediterranean countries, Austria, Germany, China and Hungary
like in Turkey. One of the most destructive diseases on seed squash is virus
diseases in Aksaray province. In this study, it was aimed to determine the
virus infections in main squash planting areas in Aksaray. For that purpose,
totally 153 plant samples which showing widespread virus symptoms such as
curling, mosaic, blistering, mottling, shoe-string, distortion, and stunting
were collected from seed squash plants in 2014 and tested by DAS-ELISA method.
According to the results of the DAS-ELISA 84.96 % of the samples were infected
with Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus
(CMV), Papaya ring spot potyvirus -
watermelon strain (PRSV-W), Zucchini
yellow mosaic potyvirus (ZYMV), Squash
mosaic comovirus (SqMV) and
Watermelon mosaic potyvirus - 2 (WMV-2). The prevalent virus was ZYMV with
the ratio of 66.01 % and followed by WMV-2 with 57.51 %. Besides, double and
multiple virus infections were determined commonly in the samples such as,
ZYMV+WMV-2, ZYMV+CMV, WMV-2+CMV, ZYMV+SqMV, ZYMV+WMV-2+PRSV-W, and
ZYMV+WMV-2+SqMV. Especially, ZYMV+WMV-2 mixed infections were the most common.
The infection of Cucumber green mottle
mosaic tobamovirus (CGMMV) wasn’t determined in the survey area.
