description | Peach trees can be infected with viruses and viroids. As we do not have efficient plant protection methods against these pathogens, the prevention of infection is crucial. Fruit trees are maintained by vegetative propagation. Planting material such as certified mother trees and rootstocks should be free from viruses and viroids, and this status has to be regularly checked to prevent infections. We surveyed certified peach trees for the presence of viruses and viroids using small RNA high-throughput sequencing (HTS), an unbiased virus diagnostic method. The results of the bioinformatic analysis of HTS were validated by other molecular methods including RT-PCR, Northern blot hybridization and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). We found the presence of plum pox virus and peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) in the vector-free isolator houses, whose presence should be regularly tested. Moreover, we detected frequent infection with recently described viruses such as nectarine stem pitting-associated virus and peach-associated luteovirus (PaLV). During the survey, PLMVd and PaLV were detected for the first time in Hungary. The analysis of the presenting virus variants and possible sources of infection suggests that the source of the viral infection could be the infected propagating material. Our study emphasizes the importance of using sensitive and trustworthy diagnostic techniques to be able to detect viral infections and successfully prevent their spread by propagation material. |
