Abstract
Apple dimple fruit viroid (ADFVd) causes severe fruit disorder with significant economic losses in several apple cultivars. During 2020–2022, 137 leaf samples of apple trees showing round and depressed green spots, color dappling, scarring, and distortion of fruits, and others without symptoms, were collected in the west (Hamadan, Kermanshah, and Kurdistan provinces) and northwest (Ardabil, East, and West Azerbaijan provinces) of Iran. ADFVd was detected by RT-PCR in 72.3% of the tested samples, including a significant number showing no symptoms. Nine isolates were sequenced and showed minimal differences from each other and 75.9–100% nucleotide identities with ADFVd variants previously reported in GenBank. In phylogenetic analysis, Iranian isolates were placed in the cluster consisting of all ADFVd isolates originating from apples except those from Japan. The Iranian isolates were distinct from those reported in apples in China, Japan, Spain, Türkiye, and in fig in Italy, but were not differentiated from isolates in apples in Italy, showing that they probably have a common origin.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Plant Pathology (JPP or JPPY) is the main publication of the Italian Society of Plant Pathology (SiPAV), and publishes original contributions in the form of full-length papers, short communications, disease notes, and review articles on mycology, bacteriology, virology, phytoplasmatology, physiological plant pathology, plant-pathogeninteractions, post-harvest diseases, non-infectious diseases, and plant protection. In vivo results are required for plant protection submissions. Varietal trials for disease resistance and gene mapping are not published in the journal unless such findings are already employed in the context of strategic approaches for disease management. However, studies identifying actual genes involved in virulence are pertinent to thescope of the Journal and may be submitted. The journal highlights particularly timely or novel contributions in its Editors’ choice section, to appear at the beginning of each volume. Surveys for diseases or pathogens should be submitted as "Short communications".
