First report of alstroemeria mosaic virus infecting Alstroemeria in Korea.

Alstroemeria, a member of the Alstroemriaceae family, is a popular cut flower plant with a long-base life and a wide variety of flower colors. It is widely cultivated in many countries, especially in Central and South America. However, numerous viruses such as alstroemeria carlavirus (AlCV), alstroemeria mosaic virus (AlMV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), alstroemeria streak virus (AlSV), and impatiens necrotic virus (INSV) can infect Alstroemeria and significantly decrease its yield (Kim, 2020).
