This research aimsto study the effect of single and mixed infection of Potato Y Virus (PVY) and Cucumber mosaic virus(CMV) on the number of leaves, number of branches, plant height and stem circumference of tomato plants (cv.Elegro and Local). The ex
periment was carried out in 2012 in a greenhouse in Tartous. Results show that the interactions in both varieties to virus infections are different. The mixed infections cause slight and weak effects compared to single infections. This is probably due to the antagonistic relationship between Potato Y virus and Cucumber mosaic virus and their effects on mean number of leaves, mean number of branches, mean height of plants, and mean stem circumference. Tomato plants' stems were (Elegro 106.42, 16.75, 103.58 cm, 4.84cm.; Local 94.42,15, 87.17 cm, 4.59 cm, respectively). Consequently, the timing of mixed infection playsarole in appearance, development and effect on other viruses.
A field survey of Pepper mild mottle (PMMV) and Cucumber mosaic (CMV)
Viruses was conducted in some plantation areas in Tartous and Lattakia Provinces. A total
of 1278 samples (782 from Tartous and 505 from Lattakia) were collected. Results of
Tis
sue Blot Immunobinding Assay showed the presence of PMMV in 0.39% and CMV in
11.42% in the collected samples. The percentage of CMV varied in Tartous and Lattakia
Provinces. In this study, PMMV was not recorded in Lattakia, whereas it was recorded in
Tartous in a small percentage (0.64%).
Using Tissue Blot Immunobinding Assay, the collected seeds from the infected
pepper fruits from Tartous fields showed the transmission of PPMV throughseeds in a ratio
of 0.70% to 0.87% according to seed resources, whereas CMV was transmitted in a high
percentage of 2.81% to 7.98% according to seed resources. PPMV was not recorded in leaf
samples or in seeds taken from Blozah District in TartousProvince.
The study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of Pseudomonas chlororaphis MA342,
Serratia plymuthica HRO-C48K, Bacillus subtillis B2g, B. subtillis FZB27 to induce systemic
resistance in Tomato plants against Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) under
greenhouse conditions.
Tomato seeds submerged in suspension of Pseudomonas chlororaphis MA342, Serratia
plymuthica HRO-C48, Bacillus subtillis B2g and B. subtillis FZB27 9×109cfu . plants emerged
from these seed were inoculated with CMV after 10 days of planting. The time of beginning
symptoms was recorded, Disease incidence, disease severity, area under disease progress curve
AUDPC, progress of infection disease degrees during the study period were calculated using
virtual symptoms . pyroxidas enzyme activity was determined, Some growth parameters such as
Plant height, foliage fresh weight, root fresh weight , foliage dry weight, root dry weight were
observed after 30 DAI. Results of this study showed that seed treatment with Pseudomonas
chlororaphis MA342, Serratia .plymuthica HRO-C48, Bacillus subtillis B2g, B. subtillis FZB27
significantly decreased the diseases incidence on treated and inculated plants which ranged
between 40% - 66.66% ,compared with un treated and inculated control 93.33% Without the
presence of significant differences between the bacterial treatments. significantly decreased the
diseases severity on treated plants which ranged between 45.53 %- 62.2% compared with inculated
and un treated control 88.86% .Without the presence of significant differences between the
bacterial treatments. Peroxidas activity on treated plants increased by Compared with untreated
plants. Seed treatments with bacteria significantly increased the plant growth. The plant height ,
fresh and dry weight of foliage, fresh and dry weight of root on treated plants were significantly
higher than those of inculated and un-treated plants according to LSD 5%.where bacteria reduced
the rate of stunting and the rate of decline mild and dry weight of foliage and mild and dry weight
of the root occurring due to infection with the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV).
This study aimed at studying the effect of using three species of
bacteria (PGPR) Azotobacter chroococcum Bacillus megaterium and
Frateuria aurantia in three inoculation manner ( seeds, shoots &
seed+shoots) on suppressed the effect of Cucumber mo
saic virus
(CMV) on tomato plants (pots), Some growth parameters such as plant
height, number of leaves on plant, foliage fresh weight, root fresh
weight were observed after 60 days. The experiment carried out in
2016 in a greenhouse in Tartus.
This study is aimed at studying the effect of using four species of
bacteria Plant Growth Promotion Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Azotobacter
chroococcum, Rhizobium leguminosarum, Bacillus megaterium and
Frateuriaaurantia on the growth, yield and reducing
the effect of
Cucumber mosaic virus(CMV) on pepper plants in a greenhouse
experiment. The observed growth parameters were: plant height, foliage
fresh weight, root fresh weight, fruit weight in a green house expirment
in Tartous in the season 2016/2017.
