Wheat is the leading agricultural crop and is widely cultivated in the Russian Federation. One of the most harmful pathogens of this crop is the wheat streak mosaic rymovirus ( Tritimovirus tritici , Wheat streak mosaic rymovirus, WSMV), which can cause significant yield losses, reaching 100 %. The purpose of the current study was to determine the prevalence of WSMV in wheat crops in different regions of the Russian Federation and to analyze the genetic characteristics of isolates of this virus
