Article Synopsis
- Apricot trees are vulnerable to viral infections due to their vegetative propagation, which poses risks both in the field and during cultivation.
- Metagenomic diagnostic methods using next generation sequencing (NGS) were employed to analyze leaf samples from various apricot varieties, leading to the identification of Cherry virus A (CVA) and Little cherry virus 1 (LChV-1) in Hungary for the first time.
- Further validation of these findings was achieved through techniques like RT-PCR and Northern blot, but more research is needed to understand the impact of these newly identified viruses on symptoms and their interactions during co-infection.
