ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was the detection and molecular characterization of newly identified
turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) isolates infecting rhubarb in Poland. The presence of
the virus in rhubarb was confirmed by ELISA and RT-PCR techniques. The specificity
of the obtained products was verified by Sanger sequencing. Two sequences (1,077 nt)
of the TuMV coat protein gene and the 3’-terminal non-coding region were uploaded to
the Genbank database (access no. MG882689 and MG882690). The phylogenetic analysis
was performed based on the coat protein gene sequences of two new Polish isolates
from rhubarb and 43 other TuMV sequences retrieved from the Genbank. The isolates
studied were grouped with an isolate from rhubarb (AB701709) found in the UK (98%
nucleotide identity). It is the first phylogenetic analysis of TuMV isolates infecting rhubarb
in Poland.
FUNDING
The research was carried out under the statutory
theme: determination of the threat to vegetable and
ornamental crops by selected pathogens, their identification,
and determination of the need for and timing
of their control (ZF/1/2023 – 2.1.23).
