Abstract
A survey for detection of Barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDV-PAV, BYDV-MAV) and Cereal yellow dwarf virus (CYDV), Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV), Brome mosaic virus (BMV), Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) was carried out during May 2003 covering 9 barley-growing counties (Tekirdag-center, Corlu, Cerkezkoy, Hayrabolu, Saray, Şarkoy, Malkara, Murath, Marmara Eregsi) of Tekirdag, Turkey. 290 samples with yellowing, stunting, or striping were collected from 29 barley fields. These samples were tested for the presence of 7 viruses by ELISA using polyclonal antisera. Serological tests showed that 7 tested viruses were present in barley fields in Tekirdag, Turkey. Among the viruses detected, BYDV-PAV was the commonest, being detected in 65 barley samples out of 290 tested (22.41 %), followed by BYDV-MAV (17.93 %), WDV (16.20 %), BaYMV (13.44 %), BMV and CYDV (7.93 %) and BSMV (3.10 %), respectively. This is the first report for the presence of BaYMV, BMV and BSMV in cereals in Turkey.
