Re: [nafex] International Fruit & Nut Enthusiasts & Breeders

That's always been the case with this list. There was a long time when if you googled my name, you found the list archives (with my email info). It seems less problematic now than in the past, since spam is a less serious problem than it used to be.

Someone just contacted me as a result of finding this blog and I was a bit
shocked to see that listmembers' email addresses are occasionally published
in full in these blog posts. I appreciate there being an archive, but I'm
certain that some of us wouldn't want our email addresses publicly
available to people who are not subscribed to this list.

Thank you,

CHERRY VIRUSES - USA: SPREAD

Researchers at Oregon State University [OSU] have discovered that many of the viruses that have plagued the cherry growers in Washington [see ProMED-mail post http://promedmail.org/post/20140127.2233739] have moved to Oregon: viruses like cherry leaf roll virus, tomato ringspot, tobacco ringspot and little cherry disease.

OSU's Jay Pscheidt said it's important for growers to not ignore problems, look for symptoms and work with labs that can test for these diseases. "Our next step is to find out how prevalent they are."
Removal of viruses that you don't know are there is obviously quite difficult.

[Around 30 viruses have been found to affect sweet (_Prunus avium_) and/or sour (_P. cerasus_) cherry trees, singly or in coinfections.
Many of them also affect other _Prunus_ species.

Of the viruses mentioned above, _Cherry leafroll virus (CLRV), _Tomato ringspot virus_ (ToRSV) and _Tobacco ringspot virus_ (TRSV) all belong to genus _Nepovirus_. On cherry, CLRV and TRSV mainly cause leaf symptoms as indicated by their names, ToRSV has also been associated with stem pitting. Generally, members of the genus are transmitted by nematodes, but most can also be transmitted by mechanical means, with infected planting and grafting material and to varying degrees by seed and pollen.

Little cherry disease (LCD) is a serious problem for sweet and sour cherry producers in parts of northern Europe and North America. It can be caused by 2 closteroviruses, _Little cherry virus 1_ (LChV-1, not yet assigned to a genus) and LChV-2 (genus _Ampelovirus_), in single or mixed infections. Symptoms vary with host cultivars, but may include reduced size and quality of fruit, premature leaf reddening, stunting of seedlings and some loss of tree vigour. All commercial cherry cultivars are susceptible, and ornamental flowering cherries can be asymptomatic reservoirs of LChV-1. LChV-2 is transmitted by mealybug vectors which can be spread by wind and with packing material. An insect vector for LChV-1 is not known. Both viruses can be spread by both shoot and root grafting and with infected plant material.

Disease management for fruit tree viruses may include phytosanitation in orchards, use of certified clean planting stock and budwood, elimination of inoculum (removal of infected trees) and vector control if feasible.

UNDIAGNOSED SUDDEN DECLINE, APPLE - USA

In the Northeast [of the US], Canada and North Carolina, young dwarf trees in high-density orchards are dying [see ProMED-mail post http://promedmail.org/post/20100608.1911] with increased frequency.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Cornell University, University of North Carolina and others have teamed up to solve the mystery of Rapid (or Sudden) Apple Decline (RAD or SAD).

There seems to be some connection to M9 rootstock, although other rootstocks also can be impacted. Fuji, Gala and Golden Delicious cultivars appear most susceptible. This might indicate some cultivar-rootstock combination triggering RAD. Observations do not point to any specific pathogen, abiotic factors may play a role, [but] there is no obvious common denominator among the impacted trees.

Trees, even those full of fruit, quickly die from RAD. The graft union shows necrosis [which] continues up the bark. Severe bark shedding near the graft union [and] cankers are also seen. Within 2 to 3 weeks, leaves turn yellow and the tree dies. There are few signals that anything is wrong prior to the sudden emergence of symptoms. Trees collapse completely, despite the wood being solid and the roots healthy. In any given block, trees with RAD are scattered with no pattern, [and] some trees can remain healthy.

Because stress is believed to be a factor in RAD, growers are advised to eliminate as many stressors as possible. Alternative rootstocks to
M9 could afford protection. Other [factors] may be playing some role in the syndrome and viruses or [other] pathogens - known or as yet unidentified - may also be contributing.

[This undiagnosed disease or disorder in apple orchards was previously reported from Michigan and New York (ProMED-mail post http://promedmail.org/post/20100608.1911). It now appears to be much more widely distributed but unfortunately not much progress seems to have been made in the search for a cause.

Association with specific dwarfing rootstocks and apple varieties may imply graft transmissible agents such as viruses, viroids or phytoplasmas. Molecular methods are needed for their detection, but no information is provided in the report above whether a systematic molecular search for any pathogens has already been undertaken. As mentioned above, SAD may also represent a syndrome including a number of different factors, which would make the task of identifying a cause much more complex.

Generally, to identify a biotic or abiotic cause for a disease or disorder of unknown aetiology, a defined process must be followed:
description of specific symptoms in individual plants; patterns of their distribution in space and time; evidence for or against transmission of symptoms and spread of the condition; Koch's rules (i.e. to re-isolate an infectious pathogen after culture and transmission, or equivalent process for non-culturable pathogens) to test for causation by a biotic agent; molecular studies to identify a known or characterise a novel potential infectious agent. Especially in slow growing hosts, such as trees, this process may take many years and it would be complicated considerably if a previously unknown pathogen were to be involved.
