Unusual virus-like symptoms were first observed in 2001 on grapevine cvs. Pinot gris and Sauvignonasse vineyards from the western part of Slovenia. Symptomatic plants showed shortened internodes, poor leaf development, mottling, deformations leaves that resulted growth symptomatic plants. In 2003 2004, several samples tested for Arabis mosaic virus, Cherry leafroll Grapevine fanleaf Raspberry bushy dwarf Strawberry latent ringspot Tomato black ring Tobacco virus by DAS-ELISA, but none them...
The quality of fruit from PPV (Plum pox virus)-infected plum (Prunus domestica L.) trees was investigated during the last 3 weeks ripening using healthy tree (T3), with short-term infection (T2), and long-term (T1). pomological variables (presence necrosis on fruit, color flesh, firmness, soluble solids content, weight) composition nutritive compounds (sugars organic acids) bioactive (phenolics: anthocyanins, flavonols, hydroxycinnamic were evaluated. results indicated that modified process...
Monilinia fructicola, the causal agent of brown rot, is a destructive fungal pathogen that affects mainly stone fruits (Prunoideae). It causes fruit blossom wilt, twig blight, and canker formation common in North South America, Australia, New Zealand. M. fructicola listed as quarantine European Union was absent from this region until 2001 when it detected France. In August 2009, mature peaches (Prunus persica cv. Royal Glory) with rot were found 5-year-old orchard Goriška, western Slovenia....
Plum pox virus (PPV) causes severe economic losses in stone fruit production, but little is known about its effect on plum composition. In this study, the influence of PPV sugars and organic acids was evaluated a susceptible (Prunus domestica L.) cultivar.PPV infection significantly affected content composition acids. The necrotic tissue modified most. A short-time infected tree yielded with similar sugar to from healthy tree, decline faster. Prematurely ripened symptomatic had reduced...
Summary The parameters of external fruit quality (colour, firmness, weight, diameter and height fruits, length thickness stalk) internal (content individual sugars organic acids) the 5 apple 'Gala' clones ('Red Gala 95', 'Royal Gala', 'Mondial 'Schniga 'Galaxy') parental cultivar were evaluated in two cropping years. proportion surface colouring during both years was 80%, while exhibited from 60 to 80% coloration. In first fruits Gala' already regressed yellow higher which is probably due...
The dagger nematode, Xiphinema rivesi Dalmasso, a member of the X. americanum group, was detected in 2002 for first time Slovenia and fourth Europe (4). is vector at least four North American nepoviruses including Cherry rasp leaf virus (CRLV), Tobacco ringspot (TRSV), Tomato (ToRSV), Peach rosette mosaic (PRMV) (1,2). All these viruses are included on EPPO EU lists quarantine organisms, but none species found have been reported to transmit nepoviruses. Three isolates, TRSV (from Lobelia...
Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) is the sole member of genus Idaeovirus and naturally infects Rubus species worldwide. It can be experimentally transmitted to many dicotyledonous plant from different families. In Slovenia it has been reported infect grapevine, first known non-Rubus natural host (3). However, RBDV red raspberry grapevine were found in biological, serological, molecular characteristics (4). From 2007 2010, (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyards sampled parts Hungary tested for...
In 2002, severe vein yellowing and partial or complete of leaves was observed on some shoots red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) cvs. Golden Bliss Autumn Bliss. Sap infected plants cv. inoculated onto Chenopodium quinoa Nicotiana benthamiana. Faint chlorotic spots were C. approximately 14 days after inoculation but no systemic symptoms appeared. No N. Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) detected in the original plant using double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) with...
In June 2004, potato plants of cvs Bistra, Desiree, Discovery, KIS94-1/5-14 and Pšata, showing unusual virus-like symptoms, were observed in a field central Slovenia. Crops from different parts the country planted this to compare frequency virus infections. The symptoms only on potatoes originating Rakičan northeastern Affected showed severe dwarfing, leaf-curling reduced leaf size; tubers very small few number. Brown spots clearly visible cross-sections tubers. Sap with was used for...
Abstract Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) is a long-known naturally infecting Rubus and grapevine. It also one of the economically most important viruses raspberries, but there are only limited number sequences covering substantial part genome available in databases. The aim this study was: i) to geographic distribution RBDV Slovenia, ii) sequence RNA2 several red raspberry grapevine isolates their phylogeny population structure. Geographic studies were performed over period 13 years three...
In early April 2010, 30 samples of Petunia spp. were taken by phytosanitary inspectors from 22 production sites in Slovenia the frame surveying host plants for presence Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). Samples accordance with plan survey year 2010 and tested PSTVd real-time RT-PCR according to EPPO protocol (1). At time sampling, there no disease symptoms on plants. consisted fully developed leaves collected as many five Total RNA was isolated 50 ± 5 mg leaf tissue an RNeasy Plant Mini...
Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) was first reported as a host of Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) in 2009 (4). In Slovenia, 10 young plants cape that were grown glasshouse inspected April 2011. Plants multiplied from an adult plant unknown origin. During sampling, the showed no disease symptoms. Total RNA extracted twice leaves five with RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay employing two pairs semi-universal pospiviroid primers...
Plum pox virus (PPV), the causal agent of sharka disease, is most important viral disease in plums. To understand plant defense response against PPV-infection, changes composition phenolics were studied plum fruit (Prunus domestica L.). The determined visually undeformed and necrotic tissue during last three ripening stages. results indicated a significantly modified anthocyanins, flavonols hydroxycinnamic acids, most. differed also between developmental stages give insight into phenolic...
Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) and Hop stunt (HSVd) are known to infect stone fruit species worldwide. The infection can be or induce a variety of disease symptoms. Stone samples were collected in Montenegro for Plum pox virus (PPV) survey 2007. Thirteen infected with PPV, taken from 12-year-old peach trees (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, cv. Elegant Lady) the area Cemovsko field, tested presence PLMVd HSVd by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. Mild severe mosaic, chlorotic rings, deformations...
