Özet

In order to investigate Plum pox virus (PPV) in different tissues of infected apricot and plum trees, 50 samples per infected tree were collected from 5 apricot and 5 plum trees infected with PPV-M and D strains between 2002 and 2004. In addition, 25 apricot and 25 plum seeds taken from severely infected trees in order to investigation transmission of PPV through seeds. The detection of PPV was carried out using indirect ELISA. The virus was detected in bark, some flower parts (sepal, petal and stamen), pits (only in apricots) and fruits. However, the virus was not found in pollens, gynoeciums, seeds and seedlings. It is appears that pollens and seeds did not play role in natural spread of PPV in Ankara, Turkey. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
