The virus of Barley yellow dwarf PAV Luteovirus has been figured out by using the detected plants, host range, transfer periods, and contagion by al min transferring insects and the tow serum tests Elisa and tissue – blot immunoassay TBIA.
The virus has been purified partially by using polyethylene glycol PEG at a molecule weight of 8000 Dalton.
The virus was purified totally by using the revers density hierarchy of the materials ammonium sulfate and sucrose with concentrations (15 % - 55% ) arranged in abdicable and
Progressive way consecutively. The virus preparation was harvested in a high level of activity and purity and the absorption rate for it reached at wavelength 260 / 280 nanometer to 1.53 -1.54 with the concentration of 41-50 ml/kg of infected soft tissues.
The antivirus serum was prepared with titer 1 /1024. The antibodies have been purified with a concentration of 5 milligram/ml at wavelength 280 nanometers by using a line of DEADE- Cellulose. The antibodies to rabbit blood were prepared in goats with an average of 4 injections from rabbit blood serum with Frond Agufent material (2:2 ) in the muscle of local goat. The produced antibodies purified with a concentration of 2.38milligram / ml, it connected to alkaline phosphate's enzyme and used inTBIA.
The results of the field's survey denoted the spread of BYDV in most of the barley and wheat fields in Iraq.It reached the highest level in the Northern provinces then the middle provinces then the southern provinces. Nineveh province exceeded all other provinces with the rates of (17.5, 24% ) (11.5, 14.4 ) for the crops of wheat and barley for the seasons 2002- 2003, 2003 – 2004 consecutively. It has been noticed the increased spread of the virus in the irrigated lands which are in the neighborhood of popcorn implanted fields.Also, it has been observed that the virus spread increased in barley more than wheat at the rates of 4.93% and 3.98 % consecutively, and the nonexistence of yellowness on the plants' leaves doesn’t imply always the virus infection does not exist also the results of field survey indicated that Nineveh province exceeded the other provinces in the increase of virus infection severity.There were two kinds of forms of disease external distribution symptoms in the infected fields represented by the appearance of random spots in most of the country provinces and the appearance of spoonful spots in Dihouk and Sulaymaniyah. The results referred to the existence of 4 kinds of transmission of BYDV - aphid insects distributed in the different country provinces. The species Macrosiphum avenae is found in the middle provinces and the species Schizaphis graminum is found in the middle and southern provinces.The species Rhopalosiphum maidis found in most provinces, and the species R. padi is found in the middle provinces.Nineveh province occupied the highest degree in moss ad scale where it reached 1-5 in 11 and 8 fields among 33 and 36 fields have been surveyed in the selected samples in the start of April during the seasons 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 consecutively. Also, it has been noticed the increase in insects quantity to 25 insects per plant at the high humidity and high agricultural densities areas, besides the too much existence of the secondary families of aphid- insects before and after the implantation of wheat and barley crops. An ejective proportion has been discovered between the spread of insects quantity relatively on one side and the density of grass on the other side and the rate and severity of virus infection.
11 kinds of grass appeared consenting BYDV infection before, after, and during the season of wheat and barley crops growth. The wild oat Avena fatua was superior, with an infection rate of 66.7 %, then the wild barley plant Hordeum glaucum which rated at 56.8%. Also, a presence of virus in the popcorn plants has been recorded Zea mays rated at 66.7 %which is not different from the rate of oat plant infection. Also, it has been observed that 6 kinds of these grasses carry the virus without showing the symptoms of the disease. It has been shown through the field survey that the increase in spread and severity of disease and density of aphid insects and secondary families of the virus are more in the rainy seasons 2002- 2003 than the dry seasons ( less rain ) 2003 -2004.
The results of a study to the sensitivity showed the overcome of wheat type Ebba 99 and barley type Arrifat to the other types . This superiority appears in reduction of infection rate, degree of disease symptoms, increase in plants height and predict yield index PYI which reached ( 16.70, 16.70 ) % and ( 3.0, 3.3 ) degree and ( 93.70, 88.07 )cm and ( 100.79, 97.52 ). Also, the values of absorption of ELISA test on a wave length of 450nm to the extraction of the roots of the above 2 types reduced to 0.02, 0.03 consecutively in comparison with other types which indicates the low concentration of virus in those 2 types.
The immunity test results TBIA showed the slow down of virus movements in both of the above types, where it took from the virus 26 and 24 days to move from the infection area to the crown area in the above-mentioned types consecutively, which represent their strong bare to a virus.
The results of using induced factors of resistance to virus BYDV referred to the occurrence of growth increase in virus-infected types of wheat and barley and to all stages of treatments addition. The impact rates distributed among the treatments like the following :
A- Plant height: the treatment with Bacteria Azospirillum Arakanese came first, then with bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens pf then Gaberialic acid GA.
B- Chlorophyll quantity :the treatment with P. fluorescens came first,then treatment with a lactic fluid of coconut, then the organic compound sea force.
C- Weight of 1000 seeds: Treatment with P. fluorescens bacteria came first, then treatment with organic compound sea force then treatment with a lactic fluid of coconut.
D- Disease scale degree:Treatment with P. fluorescens bacteria came first, treatment with a lactic fluid of coconut, then treatment with organic compound sea force.
Also, the results showed the high response of the barley crop in comparison with the wheat crop for the above treatments. the treatments before and after infection overcame first from another treatment.
New compounds appeared in wheat plants class Ebba 99 with RF = 0.214 and 0.850 and 0.242 and 0.300. These included bacteria P. fluorescence dynasty, Lactic fluid of coconut, Bel and Alsa insecticides, and the organic compound C Force consecutively. But the plants treated with propolis resinate and bacteria A.irakense have not been motivated to produce any compound .
New compounds appeared in Barley planet-class Arafat with RF =0.200, 0.143, 0.329 , 0.329,0.172 for treatment with bacteria P. fluorescence, lactic fluid of coconut, Bill and Elsa insecticides, and propolis resinate consecutively, while some compounds appeared in treatment with C force with RF = 0.143and 0.715. But no compound appearance was observed in treatment with A.irakense bacteria.
The extracted and motivated compounds in the wheat crop which have amino acids nature have been reduced from disease scale degree in the case of treatment before infection for wheat and barley crops consecutively.
The field experiments results of season 2002-2003 referred to the superiority, of fighting aphid insects which transfer virus BYDV by Wide insecticide and fighting thin leaves grass in and around experiments fields with Clear insecticide , over other treatments. The impact of implanting dates was more noticeable on the 1st date than the 2nd date.
And the impact of Ebba 99 class was higher than Arifat class ,where the plants height , Chlorophyll quantity ,disease scale degree , leaves distance and crop quantity for the classes Ebba 99 and Arifat reached (97.98 and 91.07) cm and (59.00 , 58.81 )microgram /cm2 and(1.4,1.0)degree and (46.79 ,46.37 )cm2 and (6.252, 5.591)t.h -1 consecutively for the 1st date. And reached (92.14, 99.04 )cm and(59.10 ,59.15 ) microgram / cm2 and (1.4 ,1.0 ) degree and ( 46 .90 , 46 .50 ) cm2 and ( 6.370 , 5.630 ) T.H -1 .
The grass density was recognized in its high average during the season 2002- 2003, then the season 2003 -2004. The density of wild oat and barley were superior to other types of grass.
This alerts the risk of the existence and spread of these grass plants as subfamilies to BYDV, where it has been noticed through field survey the existence of a correlation between grass density and its morphological resemblance to wheat and barley plants and its average of virus infection.
The technique of using Clear herbicide and Wide aphid insecticide simultaneously affected verbally in reducing the quantitative density of aphid insects which transfer the virus,to degree (1.1,1.0 ) degree from Mossad scale for wheat and barley crops,for the 1st and 2nd dates consecutively. But the kind of classes didn't affect the quantitative density of aphid insects.
The treatment with P.fluorscens motivated Ebba class and Arafat class to reduce the effect of BYDV in the field during the season 2002-2003, effect in increasing height of plants and chlorophyll quantity (101.00, 103.33) cm ,(59.14,58.37) microgram /cm-1 consecutively.It also consecutively lowered the disease scale degree (1.0 ,1.4 ) degree and increased PYI ( 114.06,111.80 ) for Ebba and Arafat.
The complete treatment of wheat and barley plants in the field during (2003-2004) with Clear
,Wide and Alsa pesticide and bacteria strain P .fluorscens pf -5 dynasty together ,gave a verbal effect in increasing height of plants in average of (115.42 ,113.46 )cm and chlorophyll quantity( 60.98 ,61.18 ) microgram /cm-1 .It also lowered the percentage of virus infection to 40.00 ,33.34 % and disease scale degree (0.4,0 ) degree and increase in celery crops ( 7.257 ,6.806 ) ton .h -1 for wheat class Ebba and barley class Arafat consecutively.
