Description Apple is an important temperate fruit crop of India and world. The horticulture industry
has experienced tremendous growth in the past 50 years and has developed into one of
the major economic branches of modern agriculture. In fruit crops, viruses are important
but lesser studied pathogens particularly in India. The rapid emergence and marked
geographic spread of viruses is due to the enhancement of the international trade of
propagative materials and their final products. Losses to the quality and quantity of
apple produce due to viral infection has been widely reported from apple growing regions
of the world. However, characterization of viruses has just begun in the Indian scenario.
Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), Apple mosaic virus (ApMV), Apple grooving
virus (ASGV) and Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) are the major viruses infecting apple
orchards of the world. While the minor viruses on apple viz. Prunus necrotic ringspot
virus (PNRSV), Cherry rasp leaf virus (CRLV), Tomato ring spot virus (ToRSV) and
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) have also been reported. ASPV and ToRSV are important
viruses with respect to nurseries as they affect success of graft unions. Here, we give a
short account of the history and distribution of viruses infecting apple, and describe in
brief the host range, symptoms, genome, transmission and detection methods. Finally
conventional and transgenic means for their control are discussed.
