Plum bark necrosis stem pitting-associated virus (PBNSPaV) causes the plum bark necrosis stem pitting-associated disease. We obtained the complete genome of a PBNSPaV isolate (PBNSPaV-TA) using small RNA deep sequencing followed by overlapping RT-PCR. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a completed genome of PBNSPaV identified from cherry trees.

apple stem pitting virus (aspv) is one of the most common viruses of apple and pear trees. during 2012 to 2013, a total of 1053 symptomatic and asymptomatic leaf samples were collected from orchards in nine provinces of iran. aspv infection was detected by das-elisa and pcr in 54 samples (5.12%) from seven provinces. based on the geographical origin, 22 representative isolates were selected for...

MN55 is an apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivar recently released by the University of Minnesota breeding program, with fruit marketed in U.S. as Rave ® . When stored for 4 months at 0 to °C, can develop several storage disorders, including skin dimpling. Skin dimpling incidence was greater harvested 1 week later than those earlier. Dimpling not alleviated prestorage treatments 1-methylcy...
