| Summary: | A disease, supposedly caused by a virus, was observed from Insam (Panax ginseng) fields of Punggi in year
2006. It has long believed to be a physiological disorder. However, the incidence of the disease has increased
every year. When several samples were observed under electron microscope, filamentous virus-like particles
were observed. The nucleotide sequences of the virus were analyzed by RT-PCR with specific primer sets
derived from the results of DNA chip. The results indicated that the disease was caused by Watermelon mosaic
virus (WMV). It revealed that the result of the biological assay by the virus was different from that of WMV
previously found in other crops. Therefore, this is the first report that WMV causes the disease in P. ginseng
and the virus is named to be WMV-Insam. |
