Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) TuMV was detected in the main brassica-crop fields of Turkey, with an overall incidence of 13.4%. TuMV was detected in samples from Brussels sprouts, cabbage, wild mustard, radish and wild radish, but not cauliflower or broccoli. The full-length sequences of the genomic RNAs of two biologically distinct isolates, TUR1 and TUR9, were determined. Recombination analyses showed that TUR1 was an intralineage recombinant, whereas TUR9 was a non-recombinant. Phylogenetic analyses of the Turkish isolates with those from the rest of the world showed that the TUR1 and TUR9 isolates belonged to world-Brassica and Asian-Brassica/Raphanus groups, respectively. This study showed that TuMV is widely distributed in the Asia Minor region of Turkey.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAsia MinorBrassicaceaephylogenyrecombinationTuMVTurkeyOccurrence and molecular characterization of Turkish isolates of Turnip mosaic virusArticle5761155116210.1111/j.1365-3059.2008.01902.xQ1WOS:0002610819000192-s2.0-56549088074Q1
