Abstract

Parsley plants are grown throughout Turkey as summer and winter crops. Diseased plants having typical Fa virus infection such as mosaic, mottling, and leaf distortion symptoms were frequently observed in most of the parsley fields and vegetable public markets in the Middle Black Sea Region of Turkey in 2010. Using double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA), Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was detected on the diseased parsley plants. However, using Farmers and commercial seed lots, CM V was not detected in seeds or germinating seedlings.
