INTRODUCTION
*UDSHYLQH\HOORZVSHFNOHYLURLG1 (GYSVd-1) belonging to the genus $SVFDYLURLG (3RVSLYLURLGDH) is one of the causal
agents of Grapevine yellow speckle disease (Koltunow and Rezaian, 1988; Koltunow et al., 1989). Grapevine yellow
speckle disease is appeared in the worldwide vineyards extensively and it causes vein banding, yellow speckle on leaves
and stunting in grapevine plants (Randless, 2003). GYSVd-1 is one of the two viroids (GYSVd-1 and 2) which can induce
symptoms in the grapevine and also widespread in the main vineyards of our country and region (Gazel and Önelge, 2003;
Gökçek, 2007; Çopul, 2012).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Plant Sample Collection and Reverse Transcriptase PCR Analyses
In the present study, forty nine grapevine leaf samples were collected from different vineyards from Aegean region.

Molecular Cloning and Sequence Data Analyses
For each grapevine cultivar, a GYSV-1 isolate from positive plant samples were selected randomly to perform molecular
characterization. The complete genome of selected isolates (GYSVd-1-TR) were cloned and sequenced. RNA genomes
of different GYSVd-1 Turkish isolates were analyzed by computer programs such as Blastn, Vector NTI and CLC Main
Workbench. The sequences of Turkish isolates were aligned with other world isolates. Also, following the cloning and
sequencing of complete genomes of GYSVd-3 positive isolates, the obtained results were then compared with the nucleotide
sequences characterized by Jiang et al. (2012) (GenBank accession no. DQ371469 and DQ371470) using Vector NTI
software. Finally, phylogenetic tree that showed identity of GYSVd-1 and GYSVd-3 Turkish isolates with world isolates was
constructed using CLC Main Workbench computer software.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results of Phylogenetic Analyses
As a result of the alignments, the identity among different GYSVd-1 Turkish isolates varied between 79-96% (Table 1).
Phylogenetic analyses revealed that GYSVd-1 Turkish isolates showed the highest identity with the isolates from Germany
(GenBank accession no. X87906), USA (KF137564), Italy (EU682453), China (DQ371471), Australia (X06904), Hungary
(GQ995473), India (AB742223), Iran (KF916046), Canada (AF462163), Thailand (AY639607) and Japan (AB028466)
(Figure 1). Also, the identity among GYSVd-3 Turkish isolates and GYSVd-3 isolates characterized by Jiang et al. (2012)
(GenBank accession no. DQ371469 and DQ371470) varied between 80-91% (Table 2).

GYSVd-1 is very easily spread mechanically by contaminated cutting tools and infected graft propagation materials and reduces the quality and quantity of grapevines. Rapid diagnosis of viroid infections can be obtained by bioassays, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization assays. In this study, we aimed to compare three molecular methods including molecular hybridization, real-time PCR and RT-PCR in order to detect GYSVd-1 in grapevines. In the diagnostic analyses conducted with 50 potentially positive grapevine samples, GYSVd-1 was detected in 45 of 50 samples by one or more detection techniques. 18 samples were found to be positive by all methods. 18 other samples gave positive results in real-time PCR and RT-PCR analyses but were negative in molecular hybridization tests. Two samples were positively determined by real-time PCR and molecular hybridization tests. Six grapevine samples were determined only with real-time PCR tests and one sample only with RT-PCR tests. Three molecular methods for detecting GYSVd-1 were compared in this work and we concluded that real-time PCR was the most sensitive amplification method followed by RT-PCR and molecular hybridization. In addition, the realtime PCR method is less time consuming than the other methods. KEYWORDS: GYSVd-1, Real-time PCR, RT-PCR, Molecular Hybridization, Grapevine, Viroid

To date, several viroid species have been shown to infect grapevine, including Hop stunt viroid (HpSVd), Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd), Australian grapevine viroid (AGVd), Grapevine yellow speckle viroid-1 (GYSVd-1), Grapevine yellow speckle viroid-2 (GYSVd-2) and a tentative new species, Grapevine yellow speckle viroid-3 (GYSVd-3). Here, we identified and analyzed the distribution, genetic diversity, and molecular properties of viroids infecting grapevine cultivated in China and Japan, including old grapevines. The analysis showed that all the five known viroids and a tentative species GYSVd-3 infecting grapevine exist in China, and three of them (HpSVd, GYSVd-1 and GYSVd-3) exist in Japan. The contrast in diversity of viroid species in old grapevines from China and Japan may reflect different history of viticulture between the two countries. In general, the species of viroids infecting grapevine in China, as well as those in Iran and Australia, were more diverse than in the other countries. The population structure of viroids infecting grapevine in China and Japan showed species-dependency; i.e., HpSVd shared similar population structures in both countries, but GYSVd-1, GYSVd-2, and AGVd showed regional disparity even within the same country, although the role of sequence diversity in the biology of viroids infecting grapevine, such as the pathogenicity and evolution, still needs further study.

A single stranded circular RNA was isolated from grapevines infected with yellow speckle disease. The RNA which we have called grapevine yellow speckle viroid (GYSV), contains 367 nucleotide residues and has the potential to form the rod-like secondary structure characteristic of viroids. GYSV has 37% sequence homology with the recently described apple scar skin viroid (ASSV; 330 residues) and has some sequence homology with the viroids in the potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) group. The sequence of GYSV has characteriitics which fit the structural domains described for the PSTV group. However, GYSV lacks the PSTV central conserved sequence. Instead, there is a conserved sequence in the central region of GYSV and ASSV which has the potential to form a stem loop configuration and a stable palindromic structure as does the central conserved region of the PSTV group. These structural features suggest there is a different central conserved region for GYSV and ASSV. The results support the viroid nature of GYSV and its inclusion into a separate viroid group which we suggest should be represented by ASSV.
