POTYVIRUSES INFECTING VEGETABLE CROPS IN UKRAINE

This paper describes detection of some potyvirus infecting vegetable crops in Ukraine. Collected samples were screened for the presence of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus and Watermelon mosaic virus-2. Obtained isolates of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus were clustered with isolates from Slovenia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria and France within subgroup AI. According to the topology of Neighbor-Joining tree based on sequences of NIb-CP genome region obtained WMV-2 isolates showed that belong to group G1. Viruses infecting cucurbits in Ukraine presented by phylogenetic groups widespread in Europe.
