Investigation of Symptoms and Hosts of Semi Parasite Plant Species in East Mediterranean and Central Anatolia Region of Turkey

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the symptoms and hosts of the semi parasitic plant species causing problems on the forest and fruit trees in the East Mediterranean (Kahramanmaras) and Central Anatolia region (Nigde) in 2012-2016. When these semi parasitic plants appear on the plants, they can cause swelling at the germinated sites of branches of their host and resulting backward tissue drying. It has also been observed to cause the host to die completely in some host such as almonds and apricot. The study was conducted in Nigde, through the Mistletoe survey performed on some fruit and park trees and the results indicated that a subspecies of semi parasitic. Viscum album naming Viscum album ssp. album was living on these trees. The whitethorn, wild pear, Ankara pear, almond, Braeburn apple, plum, apricot, sour cherry, locust, Canada poplar and willow were found to be the host for Viscum album ssp. album. Other mistletoe species; Viscum album ssp. abietis was seen on Taurus fir and Taurus cedar while Viscum album subsp. austriacum on Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana.
