    Detection, in silico analysis and molecular diversity of phytoplasmas from solanaceous crops in Turkey
    (CZECH ACADEMY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCESTESNOV 17, PRAGUE 117 05, CZECH REPUBLIC, 2022) Usta, M; Guller, A; Sipahioglu, HM
    Phytoplasma-like symptoms of leaf yellowing and calyx malformation were observed in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), upward leaves and fruit malformation in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), and aerial tuber formation in potato (S. tuberosum L.) during the survey performed in the late season (August to September) of 2015 and 2016 in Van province (Turkey). A total of 100 samples were tested by nested-PCR using universal primer pairs to assess the sanitary status of the solanaceous crops and to characterise the phytoplasma isolates. Among them, seven sam-ples resulted in a 1.25 kb DNA fragment, and five (two eggplants, two peppers, and one potato) were molecularly characterised (Accession No.: KY579357, KT595210, MF564267, MF564266, and MH683601). BLAST and the virtual restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of 16S rRNA genes revealed the presence of two distinct phytoplasma infections in solanaceous crops: `Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii' a member of the clover proliferation group (16SrVI) and subgroup A and `Candidatus P. solani' a member of the stolbur group (16SrXII) and subgroup A. The virtual RFLP analysis and calculated coefficients of RFLP pattern similarities further revealed a remarkable ge-netic diversity among the `Candidatus P. solani' isolates infecting pepper (similarity coefficient of 0.90) and eggplant (similarity coefficients of 0.98 and 1.00) at the same geographical area. This is the first report of the natural occurrence of `Candidadtus P. trifolii' in potato from the Eastern Anatolia region, Turkey.

    PERSIMMON (DIOSPYROS KAKI L.) AND JOHNSONGRASS [SORGHUMHALEPENSE (L.) PERS.] ARE NEW NATURAL HOSTS OF PEACH LATENT MOSAIC VIROID
    (CORVINUS UNIV BUDAPESTVILLANYI UT 29/43, BUDAPEST H-1118, HUNGARY, 2021) Oksal, HD; Aydın, S; Baran, M; Emir, C; Karanfil, A; Bozdoğan, Olcay; Sipahioglu, HM
    Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) naturally infects stone fruits worldwide. Here, we report the first detection of PLMVd in persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) and a weed Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.]. Samples corresponding to 12 persimmon specimens and weeds nearby the persimmon trees were collected from a germplasm collection plot in Malatya (Turkey). Total RNAs were isolated using a silica-based method and the complete viroid genome was amplified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). From these samples, PLMVd was detected in 7 of the 12 persimmons and in Johnsongrass revealing 8 new sequence variants. Multiple alignment and phylogenetic analyses revealed that identified persimmon and Johnsongrass isolates clustered only with PLMVd-walnut isolates previously identified from same locality. The nucleotide sequences of PLMVd persimmon and Johnsongrass isolates showed 96.71-99.11% similarity with the PLMVd isolates detected in different fruit crops in the world. A single specific mutation identified in two PLMVd persimmon variants (-TH2 and-TH10) effectively changed the predicted secondary structure of the agent. The identification and the genetic analyses of PLMVd variants in persimmon and Johnsongrass confirm that the agent is a ubiquitous and genetically variable viroid that infects cultivated fruit and weeds worldwide.
