Plum Pox Virus Strain C Isolates Can Reduce Sour Cherry Productivity

The impact of plum pox virus (PPV) on sour cherry (<i>Prunus cerasus</i> L.) productivity has been studied by comparing the yield of PPV-infected and PPV-free fruit-bearing trees. A total of 152 16- to 17-year-old trees of nine cultivars and hybrids were surveyed in the production orchar...

description The impact of plum pox virus (PPV) on sour cherry (<i>Prunus cerasus</i> L.) productivity has been studied by comparing the yield of PPV-infected and PPV-free fruit-bearing trees. A total of 152 16- to 17-year-old trees of nine cultivars and hybrids were surveyed in the production orchards (cultivar collection and hybrid testing plots) in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. Sixty trees tested positive for PPV using ELISA and RT-PCR. Among them, 58 PPV isolates belonged to the strain C and the other 2 isolates to the strain CV. For the cultivars Sevastyanovskaya, Shakirovskaya, hybrids 88-2 and 80-8, the average (2012 to 2019) productivity of infected trees was 38% to 45% lower than for PPV-free trees of the same cultivar or hybrid. No ilarviruses (prunus necrotic ringspot virus, prune dwarf virus, apple mosaic virus, American plum line pattern virus) were detected in PPV-infected trees, suggesting that reduced cherry productivity was attributed to the PPV infection. Thus, it was shown for the first time that PPV can reduce the productivity of at least some sour cherry cultivars and hybrids, and strain C isolates are responsible for crop losses.
