“…Following the first report, Elibuyuk (2003) detected PPV-M strain in 10 home gardens in Ankara region in apricot, plum and peach trees between 1995 and 2002. Afterwards, Koc & Baloglu (2006); Candresse (2007); Ulubas Serce et al (2009); Akbas et al (2011); Caglayan et al (2013); Ceylan et al (2014); Çağlayan & Yurdakul (2017) and Yurtmen et al (2017) conducted studies related to the disease.…”

“…In Turkey, PPV-M causes significant problems in commercial orchards of apricot, peach and plum in the territories close to the Mediterranean Sea (Figure S1; Akbaş et al, 2011;Gürcan, 2017;Gürcan & Ceylan, 2016;Kaya et al, 2014;Koç & Baloğlu, 2006;Morca et al, 2021;Saydam et al, 2018;Yurtmen et al, 2017). Most PPV-M outbreaks detected in Turkey have been traced back to the Bursa region, the main region of production and distribution of stone-fruit plants for planting and the main area of peach production (Gürcan, 2017).…”

High genetic diversity suggests a long evolutionary history of plum pox virus‐M in Turkey

The genetic diversity and evolutionary history of the epidemic plum pox virus strain M (PPV‐M) have been poorly studied. We sequenced the genomes of 69 PPV‐M isolates selected from different Turkish regions. These new nearly full‐length genomic sequences were analysed together with 21 previously reported Turkish sequences of the PPV‐MIs clade and with 50 sequences of other PPV‐M isolates collected worldwide, including four sequences of Albanian isolates. Major genomic features were maintained in all new PPV‐M genomic sequences, with the highest divergence detected in the PIPO, P1 and CP proteins. Turkish PPV‐M isolates displayed a high genetic diversity and grouped into two sister clades, one formed by PPV‐MIs isolates only and a second clade consisting of the previously described PPV‐Ma and PPV‐Mb subclades. The combined diversity for PPV‐M isolates (Europe, Japan and Turkey) reached to 0.022 ± 0.001, which is slightly higher than the diversity of the globally distributed PPV‐D strain (0.017 ± 0.001). Likewise, the genetic diversity of PPV‐M (0.020 ± 0.001) in Turkey was found to be comparable to that observed for PPV‐M isolates from other countries (0.021 ± 0.001) and even marginally higher if considering partial genomic sequences that allow the inclusion of a much larger number of isolates and countries. Overall, the original distribution of PPV‐MIs, which seems to be almost specific to Turkey, and the high genetic diversity of PPV‐MIs and other Turkish PPV‐M isolates suggest a long evolutionary history of M isolates in Turkey and position this country as a centre of diversity of PPV‐M.

Plum pox virus (PPV) is the most dangerous viral agent of stone fruits. PPV can be transmitted by vector aphids and may cause serious damage on fruits, leaves and flowers of Prunus species, especially on plum, apricot, and peach. Eradication of infected plants is one of the most recommended control methods of PPV in the world. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the National PPV survey and eradication program carried by the National Plant Health Authority between 2013 and 2018. During the six years of study, approximately 60.000 trees in 96.26% of Turkey were screened for PPV symptoms and 21.394 samples were collected from suspected plants from seven different fruit species. The samples were tested by ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay), and then ELISA questionable samples were verified by RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction). Based on the six years results, 2.718 samples from 161 locations were determined as PPV positive and the infection rate was calculated as 12.70%. During this study, 78.868 trees were eradicated. By the help of intensive monitoring and eradication program, PPV infection rate decreased from 35.72% to 7.47%. On the other hand, PPV infection was firstly recorded and eradicated in seven provinces (Aydın, Bolu, Denizli, Erzincan, Kırıkkale, Sivas, Samsun) which have been knownas PPV-free before. This study showed that eradication is a very effective way to suppress PPV infection and spread. In conclusion, the national survey and eradication program should be operated nationwide and concentrated in nurseries.
