The responses of 14 potato cultivars to five Potato virus Y (PVY) isolates belonging to four strains (ordinary [PVYO], tobacco veinal necrosis [PVYN], N:O group [PVYN:O], and nonrecombinant potato tuber necrotic [PVYNTN]) were studied in primary and secondary infections. For the primary infection experiments, foliage symptoms were monitored daily after mechanical inoculation with a PVY isolate until harvest; and, for the secondary infection experiments, foliage symptoms were monitored regularly from plant emergence until harvest. Tuber symptoms (namely, tuber necrotic ringspots) were checked at harvest and monthly postharvest for up to 4 months. In both infections, symptoms varied significantly depending on potato cultivar and virus strain or isolate. In primary infections, local lesions occurred on inoculated leaves of ‘AC Chaleur’, ‘Eramosa’, ‘Goldrush’, ‘Jemseg’, ‘Katahdin’, ‘Ranger Russet’, and ‘Yukon Gold’ after inoculation with PVYO isolates, followed by systemic necrosis on latterly emerged uninoculated leaves. In contrast, plants of ‘CalWhite’, ‘La Rouge’, ‘Red LaSoda’, ‘Russet Burbank’, ‘Russet Norkotah’, and ‘Superior’ did not exhibit any visible symptoms on inoculated leaves but developed mild to severe mosaic on latterly emerged leaves after infection with PVYO isolates. In all cultivars, near-symptomless to mild mosaic was induced by PVYN and mild to severe mosaic by PVYN:O. PVYNTN induced mild to severe mosaic in plants of all cultivars except AC Chaleur, ‘Cherokee’, and Yukon Gold, which developed visible systemic necrosis. Necrotic ringspots were observed in tubers of PVYNTN-infected plants of AC Chaleur, Cherokee, and Yukon Gold. The tuber symptoms were also incited by PVYN-Jg on Cherokee. In secondary infections, the symptoms were generally more severe than primary infections even though the symptom types did not alter. As in the greenhouse, a clear symptom severity pattern (PVYO-FL > PVYO-RB > PVYNTN-Sl > PVYN:O-Mb58 > PVYN-Jg) was observed in AC Chaleur, Cherokee, Eramosa, Goldrush, Jemseg, Katahdin, Ranger Russet, and Yukon Gold in the field.

Strain-specific hypersensitive (HR) and extreme resistance (ER) phenotypes elicited in potato plants by three Potato virus Y (PVY) isolates in strain groups PVYO (BL and DEL3) and PVYD (KIP1) were studied. PVYO and PVYD isolates elicit HR genes Ny or putative Nd, respectively, and all three isolates elicit ER gene Ry. They were inoculated to 39 Australasian, European, or North American potato cultivars released over a 117-year period and harvested tubers were replanted. Both primary and secondary symptoms were recorded. Two European cultivars always developed ER following sap and graft inoculation and, thus, carried comprehensive PVY resistance gene Ry. One Australasian and two European cultivars always developed susceptible phenotypes and, thus, lacked genes Ry, Ny, and putative Nd. Sap inoculation with isolate KIP1 elicited localized HR (LHR) in 31 cultivars and both LHR and systemic HR (SHR) in three others; thus, all carried putative Nd. Isolates BL and DEL3 both elicited susceptible phenotypes in 11 of these 34 cultivars but LHR alone, SHR alone, or both LHR and SHR in the other 23 which, therefore, all carry Ny. With these two isolates, SHR expression ranged from very severe to very weak, with the greatest numbers of isolate–cultivar combinations occurring in the severe category with BL (n = 11) and moderate category (n = 12) with DEL3. Within the same isolate–cultivar combination, overall, SHR symptom expression was weaker with secondary than primary infection. With both primary and secondary infection, SHR expression was most severe with KIP1 and weakest with DEL3. Genes Ny and putative Nd were present in cultivars released between 1939 and 2010 or 1893 and 2010, respectively, occurring in cultivars from all three world regions. These findings have important implications concerning breeding new PVY-resistant potato cultivars, especially for countries lacking healthy seed potato stocks, or where subsistence farmers cannot afford them. An alternative to including gene Ry is incorporating as many strain-specific PVY resistance genes as possible.

Necrotic local lesions developed in cvs. Matilda, Ostara, Record, Satuma, Stina, Hankkija’s (Hjan) Tanu and Hjan Timo and local ring spots in Olympia and Sieglinde (Siikli) following sap inoculation with the ordinary strain of potato virus Y (PVY0). Secondarily infected cvs. Ostara, Pito, Siikli and Hjan Timo developed leaf drop. No infected progeny was produced by Matilda, Saturna and Hjan Tanu. In contrast, Bintje, Puikula and Sabina developed neither local lesions nor systemic necrosis, but showed mosaic symptoms following primary and secondary infection by PVYO. The ELISA absorbance values for potato leafroll virus (PLRV) in Ostara, Pito and Saturna were less than 10% of those in the PLRV-infected Siikli. The ELISA values for PLRV in Olympia, Stina, Hjan Tanu and Hjan Timo were not significantly different from those of Siikli. The severity of the symptoms did not correlate with the concentration of PLRV in the potatoes.

Previous studies have shown that Potato virus Y (PVY) reduces yield in many cultivars. Typical foliar symptoms can include veinal necrosis, leaf drop, and a mosaic pattern sometimes accompanied by leaf roughness. Infection by PVY in Russet Burbank produces identifiable PVY symptoms, whereas cv. Russet Norkotah expresses mild, almost latent symptoms. Yield also is influenced by nitrogen fertilizer levels. This research was conducted to determine whether increased nitrogen mitigates yield reduction caused by PVY. Russet Norkotah, CO80011-5, and Russet Burbank were used in replicated plots of non-PVY-infected and PVY-infected plants at three nitrogen levels in 1995 and 1996. There was a significant yield reduction between PVY-negative and PVY-positive plots in all cultivars, at most nitrogen levels. PVY yield reduction was similar (approximately 38%) in the mild symptom expression clones of Russet Norkotah and CO80011-5, whereas the yield reduction in Russet Burbank, which exhibits typical symptom expression, was 63.5%. We conclude that increased nitrogen can influence total yield, but does not significantly mitigate the yield reduction due to PVY infection.

The importance of potato has increased dramatically in Indonesia over the last three decades. During this period, ‘Granola’, a potato cultivar originally from Germany, has become the most common cultivar for fresh consumption in Indonesia. In August 2014, a survey was conducted in Sulawesi, where potato fields cultivated with Granola and its selection, ‘Super John’, were sampled for Potato virus Y (PVY) presence. PVY was found in Sulawesi for the first time. Samples determined to be positive for PVY were subsequently typed to strain using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction assays. All PVY isolates sampled were identified as PVYNTN recombinants, with three recombination junctions in P3, VPg, and CP regions of the genome. Three local PVY isolates were subjected to whole-genome sequencing and subsequent sequence analysis. The whole genomes of the Indonesian PVYNTN isolates I-6, I-16, and I-17 were found to be closely related to the European PVYNTN-A. This recombinant type was shown previously to cause potato tuber necrotic ringspot disease (PTNRD) in susceptible potato cultivars. The dependence of potato farmers on mostly a single cultivar, Granola, may have given a competitive advantage to PVYNTN over other PVY strains, resulting in the predominance of the PVYNTN recombinant. The dominance of PVYNTN in Sulawesi, and possibly in Indonesia as a whole, represents a potential risk to any newly introduced potato cultivar to the country, especially cultivars susceptible to PTNRD.
