ABSTRACT
The tea plant [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] is one of the most significant commercial
crops in Iran. Symptomatic leaves including chlorina on the edge of the leaf, and multiple
necrotic ring blotches on mature leaves from different tea gardens were observed in
northern Iran. RT-PCR analysis and transmission electron microscopy observations were
applied to characterize the causal agent of tea leaf discoloration. Sequence analyses of the
fragments revealed that all the samples were infected with tea plant necrotic ring blotch
virus (TPNRBV). To our knowledge this is the first report of TPNRBV in Iran and the
second in the world.
