Sharka disease, caused by this virus (PPV) is one of the most serious viral diseases of stone-fruit crops, including peach (Prunus persica L.), apricot (P. armeniaca L.), plums (P. domestica L. and P. salicina Lindl.) as well as sweet and sour cherries (P. avium L. and P. cerasus L.) that may be systemically infected by a few unique PPV strains. The goal of this work is to evaluate a large number of local apricot varieties concerninhg the resitance to PPV, and using them on the valuable breeding programs, is an interesting perspective in limiting the spread of this virus. In support of this idea we studied a large number of genotypes grafted on the mirobolan rootstocks and GF305 (considered indicator to PPV), that were previously artificial infected with PPV by chip budding. The rootstocks and the apricot varieties were tested by Elisa and RT-PCR.
