Molecular Characteristics of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus-PAS-The Main Causal Agent of Barley Yellow Dwarf Disease in Poland.

ABSTRACT: Barley yellow dwarf is a threat to cereal crops worldwide. Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAS (BYDV-PAS) was detected for the first time in Poland in 2015, then in 2019. In the spring of 2021, in several locations in Poland, winter wheat and barley plants with dwarfism and leaf yellowing were collected. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results revealed BYDV presence in 47 samples and excluded wheat streak mosaic virus infections. Next, immuno-captured polymerase chain reactions confirmed only one case of co-infection caused by BYDV and wheat dwarf virus. Moreover, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis showed that BYDV-PAS was predominant. The preliminary results were confirmed using sequencing. Infected cereal plants originated mainly from northwestern Poland. The com
