Overview

Randomized trial identifies Turnip mosaic virus in sesame plants, indicating monitoring needs in cultivation areas.

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify the virus associated with symptomatic sesame plants in Korea.
  • Leaf tissues from symptomatic sesame and lettuce plants were collected in Andong, Korea.
  • Total RNA was extracted and analyzed using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and RT-PCR for detection.
  • RT-PCR confirmed the presence of Turnip mosaic virus exclusively in sesame plants.
  • Turnip mosaic virus was identified in all three symptomatic sesame samples via RT-PCR.
  • Five out of eight additional symptomatic sesame plants tested positive for TuMV.
  • The TuMV genome shared 99.20% identity with an existing isolate in GenBank.
