| Zusammenfassung: | Climate change has increased the risk for infection of crops with insect-transmitted viruses. Mild autumns provide prolonged active periods to insects, which may spread viruses to winter crops. In autumn 2018, green peach aphids (
) were found in suction traps in southern Sweden that presented infection risk for winter oilseed rape (OSR;
) with turnip yellows virus (TuYV). A survey was carried out in spring 2019 with random leaf samples from 46 OSR fields in southern and central Sweden using DAS-ELISA resulting in TuYV being detected in all fields except one. In the counties of Skåne, Kalmar and Östergötland, the average incidence of TuYV-infected plants was 75% and the incidence reached 100% for nine fields. Sequence analyses of the coat protein gene revealed a close relationship between TuYV isolates from Sweden and other parts of the world. High-throughput sequencing for one of the OSR samples confirmed the presence of TuYV and revealed co-infection with TuYV-associated RNAs. Molecular analyses of seven sugar beet (
) plants with yellowing, collected in 2019, revealed that two of them were infected by TuYV together with two other poleroviruses: beet mild yellowing virus and beet chlorosis virus. The presence of TuYV in sugar beet suggests a spillover from other hosts. Poleroviruses are prone to recombination, and mixed infection with three poleroviruses in the same plant poses a risk for the emergence of new polerovirus genotypes. |
