%0 Journal Article %T Determination and Molecular Characterization of Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) Infection on Spinach Production Fields of £¿anakkale Province, Turkey %A Sava£¿ KORKMAZ %J - %D 2018 %X For the determination and characterization of Cucumber mosaic virus(CMV) infection in spinach production fields of £¿anakkale province and its districts, surveys were carried out in the production season of 2016£¿2017. Sixty-six spinach samples showing virus and virus-like symptoms were collected. The collected spinach samples were tested by DAS-ELISA tests for the presence of CMV. Four samples out of collected sample were found to be infected by CMV in the result of DAS-ELISA tests. One isolate (CNK21) among samples infected by CMV was chosen, randomly and molecular characterization of CNK21 was performed. As a result of molecular characterization works, CNK21 isolate showed identities 87£¿98% and 91£¿99% with the World CMV isolates at nucleotide and amino acid level, respectively. In addition, CNK21 was found in subgroup IA in result of phylogenetic analyzes carried out %K DAS-ELISA %K RT-PCR %K benzerlik %K filogenetik %U http://dergipark.org.tr/fitopatoloji/issue/42920/424961
