Aksaray İli Çerezlik Kabak (Cucurbita pepo L.) Ekim Alanlarında Görülen Bazı Virüs Hastalıkları

Abstract

Cucurbits (the Cucurbitaceae family) consist of 119 genera and 825 species and are cultivated worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.), a member of this family, is one of the most cultivated and important vegetable species worldwide. As well as, squash is grown for fresh consuming; its seeds are used as a snack in some Mediterranean countries, Austria, Germany, China and Hungary like in Turkey. One of the most destructive diseases on seed squash is virus diseases in Aksaray province. In this study, it was aimed to determine the virus infections in main squash planting areas in Aksaray. For that purpose, totally 153 plant samples which showing widespread virus symptoms such as curling, mosaic, blistering, mottling, shoestring, distortion, and stunting were collected from seed squash plants in 2014 and tested by DAS-ELISA method. According to the results of the DAS-ELISA 84.96 % of the samples were infected with Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV), Papaya ring spot potyvirus -watermelon strain (PRSV-W), Zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus (ZYMV), Squash mosaic comovirus (SqMV) and Watermelon mosaic potyvirus -2 (WMV-2). The prevalent virus was ZYMV with the ratio of 66.01 % and followed by WMV-2 with 57.51 %. Besides, double and multiple virus infections were determined commonly in the samples such as, ZYMV+WMV-2, ZYMV+CMV, WMV-2+CMV, ZYMV+SqMV, ZYMV+WMV-2+PRSV-W, and ZYMV+WMV-2+SqMV. Especially, ZYMV+WMV-2 mixed infections were the most common. The infection of Cucumber green mottle mosaic tobamovirus (CGMMV) wasn't determined in the survey area.

Molecular characterization of Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV) affecting cucurbits in Turkey

“…The members of the Cucurbitaceae family worldwide are affected by at least 59 well-characterized viruses, which are among the major factors limiting production (Lecoq, Desbiez, 2012). In Turkey, Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Squash mosaic virus (SqMV), Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) and Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV) have been reported in different geographical regions (Yardımcı, Ozgonen, 2007;Topkaya, Ertunc, 2012;Kamberoğlu et al, 2016;Korkmaz et al, 2018;Topkaya et al, 2019;Yeşil, 2019).…”

Determination of Yield and Fruit Quality of Dihaploid Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) Variety Candidates in Konya Province

“…Cucurbita türleri, antibakteriyel, antidiyabetik, antihipertansiyon, antitümör, immünomodülatör, antihipolkolesterolemi, antiparaziter, antienflamatuar ve antalgik gibi çeşitli terapötik özelliklerle sahiptir (Tzortzakis ve ark., 2018). Meyve posasında önemli miktarda karotenoid, klorofil, toplam fenol ve vitamin B6, C, E, K, tiamin ve rivoflavin, ayrıca makro ve mikro mineraller (K, P, Se ve Fe) bulunur (Blanco-Díaz ve ark., 2015;Adubofuor ve ark., 2016;Yeşil, 2019). C. maxima meyvesinden elde edilen suda, çözünür polisakaritler de önemli bir antioksidan içeriği olduğu saptanmıştır (Nara ve ark., 2009).…”

Zucchini lineages with levels of resistance to ZYMV and SqMV viruses

“…Among the diseases that occur in cucurbits, those caused by viruses seriously affect the quality and quantity of fruit production, representing one of the most important limiting factors for this crop production (Finetti-Sialer et al, 2012;Yesil, 2019). The phytoviroses have no curative control, and, thus, preventive measures are needed for crop management (Rodríguez et al, 2016;Cutler et al, 2018).…”
