“…The phylogenetic interrelationship created from 21 CP sequences of AMV using the Neighbor-Joining algorithm indicated that both AMV sequences are closely related to alfalfa isolates from Van province (MT210179 and MT210178) and Iğdır province of Turkey (MW882262 and MW882261) ( Earlier literature suggested that AMV has existed for forty years in Turkey and various crops are highly susceptible to this infection (Erdiller and Lesemann, 1985;Çalı, 1990;Yardımcı and Açıkgöz, 1997;Çıtır, 1982;Usta and Güller, 2020). The presence of AMV has been reported in agroeconomic crops and weed such as potato, eggplant, Datura stramonium, bean, alfalfa, husk tomato, and pepper from agricultural region nationwide (Özdemir and Erilmez, 2007;Sertkaya et al, 2017;Ozdemir et al, 2011;Çulal Kılıç and Yardımcı, 2015;Çetinkıran and Baloğlu, 2011;Topkaya, 2020). On the contrary, eggplant plantation regions were screened against AMV infection using RT-PCR technique in Antalya province in 2018-2019, but no AMV infection was detected in eggplant (Fidan and Sarıkaya, 2020).…”
