Özet:

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in tomato and pepper cultivation in Antalya has caused serious problems with the breaking of resistance genes. In order to understand the cycle of this disease, which is common in the region, two pepper and tomato greenhouses in Serik and Elmalı districts with intense TSWV infection were observed at regular intervals between 2019-2021. The role and importance of weeds were investigated. During the surveys, 270 weeds and 112 different plants thought to be infected with the virus were collected. As a result of serological studies, a wide variety of symptoms such as mosaic, chlorotic spots, yellowing, deformity, stunting and feeding traces of thrips were observed on the leaves of some weeds infected with the virus, while no symptoms were observed in some infected weeds. The highest infection rate among the infected weeds was determined in the Asteraceae family and Sonchus asper (L.) species. This family was followed by Poaceae and Solanaceae. The strain of the virus in infected weeds was determined as a result of qRT-PCR and Melt-curve analysis using a special primer pair designed during the study, which could detect the point mutation in the medium segment of the old isolate (TSWV-NRB) that did not break resistance in tomato. As a result of the comparison of the isolates, two different Tm values ​​were determined. After these findings were confirmed by sequence data, it was revealed that the kit, protocol and primers used constitute a fast and reliable diagnostic kit for the identification of isolates that break Sw-5 and Tsw resistance, without the need for sequencing service.
