First report of the occurrence of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-5 in Turkish vineyards
Journal of Phytopathology 158 (6), 448-449
Abstract: Surveys were made in the main grape growing region (Southeast Anatolia) of Turkey for the occurrence of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-5 (GLRaV-5). Plant samples with typical leafroll symptoms and mealybugs, Planococcus ficus (Signoret) were used for assessing the occurrence of GLRaV-5 by RT-PCR. A 272 bp band representing GLRaV-5 infection was successfully detected in plants and mealybugs in some vineyards of the Southeast Anatolia region and the virus is the first time reported in Turkish vineyards.
