Abstract
Abstract The effect of Turnip Mosaic Virus (TuMV) infection on the elemental composition of rutabaga (Brassica napus ssp. rapifera (Metzg) Sinsk) at maturity was examined in the greenhouse. TuMV infection markedly reduced dry weight and dry matter percentage of leaves‐plus‐petioles but did not affect storage root development. Virus‐infected plants exhibited higher N, P, Mg and Zn, but lower K levels in leaf tissues. Nitrogen, Ca, Mg and Mn accumulated in storage root tissues as a result of TuMV infection.
