Kale is one of the most important leafy vegetables. Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is a Potyvirus of the family Potyviridae that causes diseases in kale plants. This study was carried out to determine effect of TuMV on morphological and physiological characteristics of kale plants. Relationships between TuMV infection and some morphological/physiological parameters of kale were determined. According to the results obtained, in TuMV-infected kale plants have reduced plant (6.0%) and leaf (13.9%) length, leaf width (25.9%), stalk length (8.6%), root length (55.5%), plant fresh (37.8%) and, dry (38.9%) weight, root fresh (43.8%), dry (41.1%) weight, leaf chlorophyll (12.4%) and water (0.57%) contents There were significant differences (p<0.05) between healthy and infected plants for the morphological and physiological parameters.
