Prunus tomentosa as a Diagnostic Host for Detection of Plum Pox Virus and Other Prunus Viruses

The efficacy of seedlings of Prunus persica cv. GF 305, P. persica cv. Siberian C, and P. tomentosa (Nanking Cherry) as diagnostic indicators of plum pox infection, and of P. tomentosa for other Prunus viruses was evaluated by graft-inoculation with eight different strains or isolates of plum pox vi...

Zusammenfassung:The efficacy of seedlings of Prunus persica cv. GF 305, P. persica cv. Siberian C, and P. tomentosa (Nanking Cherry) as diagnostic indicators of plum pox infection, and of P. tomentosa for other Prunus viruses was evaluated by graft-inoculation with eight different strains or isolates of plum pox virus (PPV) representative of the Marcus (M) and Dideron (D) serogroups; and one isolate each of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV), prune dwarf virus (PDV), and sour cherry green ring mottle virus (GRMV). The initial PPV symptoms that developed in P. tomentosa within 30 days after inoculation were chlorotic banding along the midrib spreading to lateral veins from the leaf base upward, giving the appearance of a chlorotic oak-leaf pattern. Symptoms caused by PPV-M could be distinguished from those caused by PPV-D. Virus titers in infected P. tomentosa and GF 305 were higher than those in Siberian C when measured by triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Infections by PNRSV, PDV, and GRMV were evident with the first flush of vegetative growth
