“…Viral diseases are major factors causing a significant reduction in wheat yields. Available evidence indicates that, nowadays, wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is one of the most common and harmful wheat pathogens common in Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, the Middle East, North Africa, Asia, and other wheat-growing regions of the world [1][2][3][4].…”

“…WSMV can naturally infect many species of plants of the Poaceae family, which are routinely cultivated in Ukraine, including all wheat cultivars/varieties (T. aestivum L.). Most WSMV isolates can also infect oat (Avena sativa L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), some cultivars/varieties of corn (Zea mays L.), millet (Panicum miliaceum L.), and various grasses both among cultivated plants and wild flora acting as reservoir plants and ensuring overwintering of the virus [4,[8][9][10].…”

Although wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is a well-known pathogen inducing significant crop losses and endangering wheat production worldwide, the recent discovery of High Plains wheat mosaic virus (HPWMoV) in Ukraine raises questions on the co-existence of these two viruses having a similar host range and the same mite vector. Here we report on the screening of winter wheat industrial plantings in several important regions of Ukraine for WSMV and HPWMoV. WSMV was identified in an extremely high number of symptomatic plants (>85%) as compared to HPWMoV detected in 40% of wheat samples. Importantly, the preferred mode of HPWMoV circulation in Ukraine was mixed infection with WSMV (>30%) as opposed to WSMV, which was typically found in monoinfection (60%). Screening wheat varieties for possible virus resistance indicated that all but one were susceptible to WSMV, whereas over 50% of the same varieties were not naturally infected with HPWMoV. Overall, phylogenetic analysis of the collected WSMV and HPWMoV isolates indicated their high identity and similarity to other known isolates of the respective viruses. Here we first characterize WSMV isolates found in winter wheat plants in mono- or mixed infection with HPWMoV, which was recently reported as a typical wheat pathogen in Ukraine.
