Özet: Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), the agent of rhizomania disease, causes severe economic losses in sugar beet fields in all over the world. The virus is transmitted by a plasmodiophorid vector, Polymyxa betae Keskin. Twenty soil samples, collected from sugar beet fields in northern and central parts of Turkey during surveys in 2004 and 2005 and known to be infested with viruliferous cultures of P. betae carrying BNYVV, were selected and used in this study. Sample selection was made according to symptom expression of beet seedlings in preliminary bait plant tests and locations of the soil samples that accurately represent the region from which they were taken. Total RNAs were extracted from sugar beet plants grown in these soils and used to amplify RNA-2 (nt. 19-1088) and RNA-3 (nt. 50-1268) of BNYVV by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of PCR-amplified products showed that most of BNYVV isolates studied were A-type strain, however, two isolates did not exactly match the band profile of A-type strain. Additionally, the presence of BNYVV RNA-5 component was investigated by RT-PCR using the primers specific for P26 coding region. Four samples belonging to three provinces were found to be involving RNA-5 segment (20%).
