Abstract

Apple (Malus domestica) showing vein yellowing was identified as a natural host of ToRSV in Iran. Mechanical inoculation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-positive samples on Chenopodium spp. and Nicotiana tabacum induced local lesions and systemic infection, respectively. Transmission from the ToRSV-infected tobacco onto apple seedlings resulted in systemic infection and vein yellowing with positive reaction in ELISA. This is the first report of ToRSV on apple in Iran.
