Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) (genus Polerovirus, family Luteoviridae) is of great economic importance. It has a very narrow host range consisting of only 21 known species, 14 of which are Solanaceae. Ten aphid species transmit PLRV in a persistent manner, but the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer) is by far the most important vector and the only important vector in the Columbia Basin of the Pacific Northwest (3). Solanum sarrachoides (Sendtner) may be especially important in the epidemiology of PLRV because it is a predominant weed in potatoes (S. tuberosum L.), other annual crops, and waste areas of the Columbia Basin (1), and herbicides available for potato are relatively ineffective against this weed (2). Since our research began in 1974, we have routinely observed many S. sarrachoides plants throughout the Columbia Basin that acquired an abnormal erect stiff appearance in middle to late summer. Their leaflets curled upward at the margins and expressed interveinal chlorosis and necrosis and a reddened or purple color on abaxial surfaces. The presence of PLRV in symptomatic plants was routinely detected by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by density gradient sedimentation and light absorbance properties of the purified virus when we evaluated the host as a source of purified PLRV in 1980. A systematic study to satisfy the requirements of Koch's postulates to prove that PLRV causes the disease in S. sarrachoides was conducted in 1998. The virus produced typical PLRV symptoms on three young Physalis floridana, Datura stramonium, and potato plants when transmitted by the green peach aphid from each of four symptomatic S. sarrachoides collected from widely spaced potato fields in the Columbia Basin and from purified virus preparations from these plants. Back-transmission from each of these hosts and from purified preparations to S. sarrachoides plants observed the same symptoms. The green peach aphid readily colonized S. sarrachoides in the field, and populations on this host were typically higher than on adjacent potato plants in potato fields. The concentration of PLRV was approximately equal in infected S. sarrachoides and P. floridana plants, as was the efficiency of virus transmission from these hosts by individual green peach aphids. The aphids used in transmission efficacy assays were all the same clone and were reared on the host species assayed. The incidence of PLRV infection among S. sarrachoides in potato fields was typically higher than in the potato crop. Only two other summer annual hosts of PLRV, Amaranthus caudatus and S. nigrum, occur sporadically in potato fields of the Columbia Basin (1). The virus rarely infected these species. To our knowledge, this is the first report that S. sarrachoides is highly susceptible to PLRV and may play an important role in PLRV epidemiology in the Columbia Basin. References: (1) A. G.

The mechanisms of transmission of potato viruses from plants to aphid vectors and from aphids to uninfected plants are described, including the example of the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae, GPA). Factors affecting the spreading of tuber necrosis and its manifestation on plants infected with potato leafroll virus (PLRV) are discussed. Recommendations for PLRV and GPA control in the field are given.

The requirement for the 17-kDa protein (P17) of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) in virus movement was investigated in four plant species: potato (Solanum tuberosum), Physalis floridana, Nicotiana benthamiana, and N. clevelandii. Two PLRV P17 mutants were characterized, one that does not translate the P17 and another that expresses a P17 missing the first four amino acids. The P17 mutants were able to replicate and accumulate in agroinoculated leaves of potato and P. floridana, but they were unable to move into vascular tissues and initiate a systemic infection in these plants. In contrast, the P17 mutants were able to spread systemically from inoculated leaves in both Nicotiana spp., although the efficiency of infection was reduced relative to wild-type PLRV. Examination of virus distribution in N. benthamiana plants using tissue immunoblotting techniques revealed that the wild-type PLRV and P17 mutants followed a similar movement pathway out of the inoculated leaves. Virus first moved upward to the apical tissues and then downward. The P17 mutants, however, infected fewer phloem-associated cells, were slower than wild-type PLRV in moving out of the inoculated tissue and into apical tissues, and were unable to infect any mature leaves present on the plant at the time of inoculation.

Hairy nightshade, Solanum sarrachoides, is a solanaceous weed found abundantly in Pacific Northwest potato ecosystems. It serves as a reservoir for one of the important potato viruses, Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) (Luteoviridae: Polerovirus), and its most important vector, the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Homoptera: Aphididae). Laboratory research indicated an increased green peach aphid settling and performance on S. sarrachoides than on potato. It also revealed that green peach aphids transmitted PLRV more efficiently from S. sarrachoides to potato than from potato to potato. To test the efficiency of S. sarrachoides as an inoculum source in the field, a two season (2004 and 2005) trial was conducted at Kimberly, Idaho. Two inoculum sources, PLRV-infected potato and PLRV-infected S. sarrachoides, were compared in this trial. Green peach aphid density and temporal and spatial PLRV spread were monitored at weekly intervals. Higher densities of green peach aphids were observed on plots with S. sarrachoides and inoculum sources (PLRV-infected S. sarrachoides and potato) than on plots without S. sarrachoides and inoculum sources. PLRV infection in plots with PLRV-infected S. sarrachoides was similar to or slightly higher than in plots with PLRV-infected potato as an inoculum source. Temporal and spatial PLRV spread was similar in plots with either inoculum source. Thus, S. sarrachoides is as efficient as or a better PLRV inoculum source than potato.

O vírus do enrolamento da folha da batata (Potato leafroll virus, PLRV) e o vírus Y da batata (Potato virus Y, PVY) constituem as principais causas da degenerescência da batata-semente no Brasil. Com o objetivo de determinar, nas condições do Rio Grande do Sul, a resistência de campo de genótipos de batata à infecção por estes vírus, avaliaram-se, na presença de infectores, durante três plantios consecutivos de primavera, 20 cultivares e clones de batata. A detecção dos vírus foi efetuada por meio de testes sorológicos (DAS-ELISA). Pela análise de agrupamento os genótipos foram separados em três grupos para resistência ao PLRV (Elvira, Achat, Bintje, Monalisa, Monte Bonito, Panda e Araucária, resistentes; Baronesa, Asterix, Atlantic, 2CRI-1149-1-78, C-1226-35-80, Astrid, C-1714-7-94, A-1139-12-92, Macaca, Eliza e Santo Amor, suscetíveis; Catucha e Cristal, muito suscetíveis) e em quatro grupos para resistência ao PVY (Asterix, Astrid, Catucha, Cristal, Macaca, Monte Bonito, A-1139-12-92, C-1226-35-80 e C-1714-7-94, resistentes; Baronesa, Santo Amor, Monalisa, Panda e 2CRI-1149-1-78, resistentes intermediários; Bintje, Atlantic, Elvira e Araucária, suscetíveis; Achat e Eliza, muito suscetíveis).
