| Abstract: | For the first time, plum pox virus (PPV) has been detected in commercial Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) trees in Tokyo, Japan. These trees had ringspot or mottle on leaves, color breaking of petals and, occasionally, mild ringspots
and malformation on fruits. The virus was identified based on the morphology of virus particles, serology, and RT-PCR. The
amplified nucleotide fragment shared 100% identity with a partial coat protein gene of PPV-D isolates. |
