| Title : | TRADITIONAL CULTIVATION PRACTICES MAY EFFICIENTLY PREVENT THE VIRUS SPREAD IN SUSCEPTIBLE CROPS: A CASE STUDY OF TURNIP MOSAIC VIRUS IN UKRAINE |
| Abstract : | Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is a member of the largest Potyviridae family of plant viruses. For domesticated Brassica plants, TuMV is considered one of the most damaging and economically important viruses. TuMV is mainly transmitted by many aphid species non-persistently as well as mechanically from plant to plant. TuMV probably occurs worldwide and has been found in both temperate and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and North and South America. In Europe, TuMV was reported from the UK, Spain, Italy, Greece, Germany, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, and Russia. Despite Ukraine geographical location and wide cultivation of different Brassica crops for centuries, it has been only recently that the authors have registered TuMV in this country. In this study, isolates of TuMV were collected in Ukraine from naturally infected host plants, all from Brassicaceae family. For the first time, TuMV was shown to be widespread in agricultural and urban regions in Ukraine where it naturally infects crops, weeds and introduced species with infection rate reaching 50%. Also, we show that urban locations and concomitant weed plants are potent factors of virus epidemiology favoring extremely high virus incidence level of 89% in susceptible hosts. Importantly, we underpin the significance of trivial cultivation practices (crop rotation and eradication of diseased plants) as preventive measures for the control of damaging pathogen of brassicas, allowing for 3 times less TuMV incidence. |
