The causal agent, Plum pox virus (PPV) is easily transmitted by many aphid species in a non-persistent manner, by manmade grafting (nursery trade), and has a very wide host range among Prunus species. Infected plants may not show symptoms for several months and symptoms are often transient in appearance. The disease symptoms are often mistaken for other maladies and the virus can become established before the first recognition of the disease. Although spread is difficult to control within a local area because of aphid vectors, the long distance spread can be controlled by strict quarantine regulations and use of virus-free certified nursery stock. Notes on Taxonomy and Nomenclature Strains of Plum pox virus (PPV) were originally distinguished (necrotic, intermediate, yellow) on the basis of symptoms induced in herbaceous indicator plants. Kerlan and Dunez (1979) then serologically differentiated D (Dideron) and M (Markus) types, the former on apricot (Prunus armeniaca) in France and the latter originally on peach (Prunus persica) in Greece. Bousalem et al. (1994) have examined 28 PPV isolates from 11 countries and found that they could be consistently grouped into two major types (D and M) using three techniques: electrophoretic mobility of coat protein; antigenic properties of the N and C regions of coat protein; and the presence of a specific restriction site in the C-terminal region of the coat protein. The El Amar strain from Egypt is distinct from the other two strains on the basis of divergences in RNA sequence (Wetzel et al., 1991a). The cherry strain, termed PPV-C (Cherry), has been found to infect sweet (Prunus avium) and sour cherry trees (Prunus cerasus) in Italy, Moldova, Bulgaria and Hungary (Crescenzi et al., 1994, 1995, 1997; Kalashyan et al., 1994; Kölber et al., 1998; Nemchinov and Hadidi, 1996; Nemchinov et al., 1995, 1996, 1998a, c; Topchiiska, 1991, 1996). This strain is significantly different from other strains of PPV in biological, serological and molecular properties. A fifth strain of PPV, termed PPV-W (W3174 - Winona), was identified in Canada (James et al., 2003; James and Varga, 2005). The plant containing this strain was destroyed. A sixth strain of PPV termed PPV- Rec, is a stable recombinant consisting of D and M strain recombinants with a common phylogenetic link (Glasa et al., 2002, 2004). It has been reported from several European countries, many times having been incorrectly identified as PPV-M. Within these strains, individual isolates can vary in the severity of symptoms they induce. For example, a strain of the M type was reported from France in the 1980s, which is very aggressive and necrogenic on peach (Candresse et al., 1993). The necrogenic strain involved has been referred to as PPV-SP and was further characterized by Adamolle et al. (1994). Currently, PPV is divided into six subgroups or serotypes or strains: PPV-D, PPV-M, PPV-El Amar, PPV-C, PPV-W, and PPV- Rec (Candresse and Cambra, 2006; James and Glasa, 2006). A virus that infects Prunus spp. in eastern Asia and named Asian prunus latent virus (APLV) has been reported to cross react with PPV antiserum (Hadidi and Levy, 1994; Hari et al., 1995; James et al., 1996). This virus was detected in North America in quarantined peach and Prunus mume (Japanese apricot) germplasm imported from eastern Asia. It can be distinguished from PPV using certain specific DNA primers, but cross-reacts in other tests. Similarly, another virus in Moldova that infects stone fruits, Apricot latent virus (ALV), has recently been reported to cross-react with PPV antiserum, but can be distinguished from PPV in PCR and other assays (Nemchinov and Hadidi, 1998b). The exact taxonomy of APLV and ALV is presently undetermined. http://www.cabi.org/cpc/DatasheetDetailsReports.aspx?&iSectionId=110*0/141*0/23*0/122*0/103*0/13... 9/30/2011 Crop Protection Compendium report - Plum pox virus (sharka) Page 3 of 24 Description PPV has filamentous virus particles 750 nm long and 15 nm in diameter. It has a single-stranded RNA genome with a MW of 3.5 x 106 Da. Protein inclusions, of the pinwheel type, are present in the cytoplasm of infected cells (Salvador et al., 2006). Different RNAs from PPV have been cloned (Ravelonandro et al., 1988) and the complete or partial nucleotide sequences of several virus isolates have been determined (Maiss et al., 1989; Teycheney et al., 1989; Wetzel et al., 1991a; Cervera et al., 1993; Garcia et al., 1994; Nemchinov et al., 1996, 1998b). Recently several additional sequences have been submitted to Genbank (National Center for Biotechnology Information: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). Sequence differences among PPV strains have been detected and seem to be spread in a uniform manner on the genome (Palkovics et al., 1995). Genome function in PPV is now increasingly understood, and this virus is now a model for studies on the molecular biology of potyviruses (García et al., 1994). Distribution PPV was first detected in eastern Europe (Bulgaria) (Atanassov, 1932) from where it has spread to most countries of the continent (OEPP/EPPO, 2006). Until 1992, no occurrence had been reported from outside the Euro-Mediterranean area. A report on finding PPV in India (Thakur et al., 1994) has not yet been confirmed. PPV was detected in Chile in 1992 (Herrera, 1994; Rosales et al., 1998), the USA in 1999 (Levy et al., 2000; ProMED, 2006; Snover-Clift et al., 2007), Canada in 2000 (Thompson et al., 2001), China in 2004 (Navratil et al., 2005) and Argentina in 2005 (Dal Zotto et al., 2006). PPV is present or has occurred in almost all European countries to varying degrees. Roy and Smith (1994) distinguished three zones: the central and eastern countries in which PPV spread relatively early and infection levels are generally high (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine); the Mediterranean countries in which spread is more recent and there is a high risk of further spread (Albania, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Syria, Turkey); and the northern and western countries in which levels of PPV are very uneven (fairly widespread in Austria, Germany and the UK (England), very localized in Belgium and Luxembourg, localized in France, eradicated in Denmark, Netherlands and Switzerland. PPV has been found in several areas of Russia although mainly in botanical gardens, research institutions and a few farms. (See CABI/EPPO Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases: 1998, 1999, 2007.)

  • Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky
    Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky Information from Literature Much has been published about pollination, pollinators, pollinizers, fertilization and fruit set in text books and periodicals. The definitions are not difficult. Pollination is the movement of pollen among compatible flowering plants (cross-pollination) or from anthers to stigmas on the same plant or different plants of the same clone (self-pollination). Many plants will self-pollinate but set very few fruit; some authors consider them self- pollinating but they are definitely not self-fruitful. Self-fruitful plants (and clones) set a crop of fruit after self-pollination; some of these plants bear fruit with no seeds (parthenocarpy); others develop seeds with embryos that are genetically identical to the parent plant (apomixis); and others produce haploid seeds that develop from an unfertilized egg cell. (When haploid seeds germinate they are very weak seedlings with only half the chromosomes of normal seedlings.) Regarding temperate zone tree fruits, self-pollination and fruit set does not mean self-fertility and the development of normal seeds. Many temperate zone small fruit species (e.g. strawberries and raspberries) are self-fertile and develop maximum yields of fruit with normal seeds as the result of self-pollination by insects. Pollinators, usually insects, are vectors of pollen movement. Pollinizers are plants which provide the appropriate pollen for other plants. Fertilization is the process in which gametes from the pollen unite with egg cells in the ovary of the flower. Normal seeds are usually the result of this process. Also, the principles are easily understood. Poor fertilization in plums and other Prunus species results in a poor fruit set.

Hrotkó, L.Magyar, M. Gyeviki Corvinus University of Budapest, Department of Fruit Science, Hungary Abstract : Searching for growth reducing cherry rootstocks, researchers have produced and tested numerous hybrids of Prunus fruticosa Pall . Some of them have proved to be promising as dwarfing rootstocks in cherry growing. The native flora of Hungary is rich in native hybrids of Prunus fruticosa Pall. identified and described under different names, but this rich genetic diversity has never been evaluated and used as cherry rootstocks. A total of 25 native hybrids were identified in different locations of Hungary, clonally propagated and planted in the repository of our research station. Based on their phenotype characteristics they were identified as Prunus x mohácsyana Kárp., P. eminens , Prunus x jávorkae Kárp. (supposedly P. fruticosa x P. mahaleb ) and Prunus fruticosa f. aucta Borb. Using the clones of the above mentioned hybrids as interstems, cherry trees of cultivar Sunburst were raised for field testing and planted into an orchard trial in spring 2000. The root of the trees was Prunus mahaleb . As control, Sunburst trees with Gisela 5 interstems were also planted. Growth of trees (trunk girth, canopy size), yield and fruit size were measured every year. Health status and incompatibility symptoms on trees and survival rate were also evaluated.
