“…Results showed the spinach isolate (GenBank accession number MG874884) with 95% nucleotide sequence identity to a beet western yellows virus (BWYV) isolate from beet in the USA (AF473561) and BWVY isolates from pepper (Capsicum annuum) in Turkey (HE978254-HE978259) (Buzkan et al 2013). BWYV was previously reported from field-grown pepper (Buzkan et al 2013) and broad bean (Vicia faba) plants (Buzkan et al 2018) in Turkey. To our knowledge, this is the first report of BWYV in spinach in Turkey.…”
