In 2011–2014, ELISA or nucleic acid spot hybridization (NASH) testing for common potato viruses or Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) was performed on 500 leaf samples collected in potato fields in the northeast provinces Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, China. The results revealed that 38.4% (Heilongjiang) and 27.7% (Inner Mongolia) were positive for Potato virus Y (PVY). To unveil the strain composition and population structure of PVY in the region, the multiplex RT-PCR described by Chikh-Ali et al. was performed on all of the ELISA-PVY-positive samples. Of the 158 samples whose PVY strain scenarios could be determined, PVYNTN-NW-SYR-II and PVYN-Wi were the most abundant strains, occurring in 58.9 and 47.5% samples, followed by PVYNTN-NW-SYR-I (31.0%), PVYN:O (19.6%), Eu-PVYNTN (7.6%), NA-PVYN (1.3%), and PVYO (0.6%). In the 84 single-strain-infected samples, PVYN-Wi accounted for 41.7%, PVYNTN-NW-SYR-II for 40.5%, PVYNTN-NW-SYR-I for 14.3%, and PVYN:O and Eu-PVYNTN for 3.6% each. Seven isolates representing PVYNTN-NW-SYR-I (HLJ-6-1 and HLJ-9-4), PVYNTN-NW-SYR-II (INM-W-369-12 and SC-1-1-2), PVYN:O (HLJ-30-2), and PVYN-Wi (HLJ-BDH-2 and HLJ-C-429) were sequenced and analyzed molecularly. Whereas the sequence identities for isolates belonging to the same strain group were >98.5%, they fell for isolates belonging to different strain groups to 92.7–98.1% at the genome level and 96.1–98.4% at the polyprotein level. Interestingly, the exact location of the recombination events varied among isolates within a strain group. Phylogenetic analysis of all 42 full length PVY sequences from China indicated that most clustered to various recombinant groups, despite the fact that the PVY isolates were isolated from at least five host species. Pathological analysis of four isolates representing PVYN:O, PVYN-Wi, PVYNTN-NW-SYR-I, and PVYNTN-NW-SYR-II revealed that the PVYNTN-NW-SYR-II isolate incited the most severe symptoms on potato cultivar Kexin 13, followed by PVYNTN-NW-SYR-I, PVYN:O and PVYN-Wi. The PVYNTN-NW-SYR-I and PVYNTN-NW-SYR-II isolates also caused necrotic ringspots on the tubers of Kexin 13, indicating their ability to induce the potato tuber necrotic ringspot disease in potato.

Potato is an important crop in Shanxi province located in north-central China. During 2019-2020, 319 potato leaf samples were collected from eight locations distributed in three major potato production areas in Shanxi. Bio-chip detection kit revealed the presence of several potato viruses, and among them potato virus Y (PVY) was the most common one, reaching the incidence of 87.8% of all symptomatic samples. The immuno-captured multiplex reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was used to identify strains for all 280 PVY-positive samples, unveiling 242 samples infected with a single strain of PVY (86.4%) and 38 (13.6%) with a mixed infection. Of samples with a single-strain infection, PVY -SYR-II accounted for 102 (42.1%), followed by PVYN-Wi (33, 13.6%) , PVY -SYR-I (28, 11.6%), 261-4 (22, 9.1%), PVYNTNa (20, 8.3%), PVYNTNb (19, 7.9%), and PVY -SYR-III (18, 7.4%). Seven isolates representing different recombinants were selected for whole genome sequencing. Phylogenetic and recombination analyses confirmed the RT-PCR based strain typing for all seven strains of PVY found in Shanxi. SXKL-12 is the first SYR-III strain from potato reported from China. However, unlike that in other known SYR-III isolates, the region positioned from 1,764 to1,902 nt in SXKL-12 shared the highest sequence identity of 82.2% with an uncharacterized PVY isolate, JL-23, from China. Interestingly, the PVYN-Wi isolate SXZY-40 also possessed a more divergent sequence for the region positioned from 6,156 to 6,276 nt than other N-Wi isolates known to date, sharing the highest identity of 86.6% with an uncharacterized Chinese PVY isolate, JL-11. Pathogenicity analysis of dominant strains PVY -SYR-II and PVYN-Wi in six local popular potato cultivars revealed that Kexin 13, Helan 15 and Jizhangshu 12 were susceptible to these two strains with mild mottling or mosaic symptoms expression, while three cultivars, Jinshu 16, Qingshu 9, Xisen 6 were found fully resistant.

Potato virus Y (PVY) disrupts healthy seed potato production and causes tuber yield and quality losses globally. Its subdivisions consist of strain groups defined by potato hypersensitive resistance (HR) genes and phylogroups defined by sequencing. When PVY isolate PP was inoculated to potato cultivar differentials with HR genes, the HR phenotype pattern obtained resembled that caused by strain group PVYD isolate KIP1. A complete genome of isolate PP was obtained by high throughput sequencing. After removal of its short terminal recombinant segment, it was subjected to phylogenetic analysis together with 30 complete non-recombinant PVY genomes. It fitted within the same minor phylogroup PVYO3 sub-clade as KIP1. Putative HR gene Nd was proposed previously to explain the unique HR phenotype pattern that developed when differentials were inoculated with PVYD. However, an alternative explanation was that PVYD elicits HR, with HR genes Nc and Ny instead. To establish which gene(s) it elicits, isolates KIP1 and PP were inoculated to F1 potato seedlings from: (i) crossing Kipfler and White Rose with Ruby Lou, and (ii) self-pollinated Desiree and Ruby Lou; where Kipfler is susceptible (S) but White Rose, Desiree and Ruby Lou develop HR. With both isolates, the HR:S segregation ratios obtained fitted 5:1 for Kipfler x Ruby Lou, 11:1 for White Rose x Ruby Lou, and 3:1 for Desiree. Those for Ruby Lou were 68:1 (isolate PP) and 52:0 (isolate KIP1). Since potato is tetraploid, these ratios suggest PVYD elicits HR with Ny from Ruby Lou (duplex condition) and Desiree (simplex condition), and Nc from White Rose (simplex condition), but provide no evidence that Nd exists. Therefore, our differential cultivar inoculations and inheritance studies highlight that PVYD isolates elicit an HR phenotype in potato cultivars with either of two HR genes, Nc or Ny, so putative gene Nd can be discounted. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis placed the complete genome of isolate PP within the same minor phylogroup PVYO3 sub-clade as KIP1 which constitutes the most basal divergence within overall major phylogroup PVYO.

Totals of 960 and 286 certified potato seed lots from locations across North America were planted in trials in Washington and Oregon, respectively, in 2001 to 2003 and tested for strains of Potato virus Y (PVY). The incidence of PVYO-infected lots averaged 16.4 and 25.9% in the Washington and Oregon trials, respectively. There was a general trend of increasing incidence of the PVYO, PVYN:O, and PVYN strains during this period, as evidenced by more infected cultivars, sites of seed origin, and number of seed growers providing infected seed lots. In particular, there was a dramatic increase in seed lots with the PVYN:O strain from 2002 to 2003. PVYN:O, in contrast to PVYO, which only causes yield reduction, also causes internal and external damage to tubers, making them unmarketable. In 2003, PVYN:O occurred in seed lots originating in eight states and three Canadian provinces. The increased incidence of PVYN:O was likely due to the difficulty in differentiating this strain from PVYO. The prevalence of PVY in potato seed lots documented herein poses a threat to potato production in the United States and suggests that current measures to reduce the incidence of this virus are inadequate.

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.

Potato virus Y (PVY) is a reemerging problem in potato production in North America. Although the “ordinary” strain, PVYO, is still the dominant isolate in U.S. seed potatoes, the recombinant strain of the virus PVYN-Wi (= PVYN:O) has become widespread. An increase in the prevalence of a PVY strain could be due to differences in the efficiency of transmission by aphid vectors. The transmission efficiency by a clone of Myzus persicae was determined for five isolates each of PVYO and PVYN-Wi. An aphid transmission assay was developed based on the use of potato seedlings from true potato seed, allowing for greater control of plant age and growth stage. No apparent differences in transmission by M. persicae were observed. Single isolates of PVYO and PVYN-Wi were tested for their ability to be transmitted from potato to potato by five aphid species: Aphis glycines, A. gossypii, A. nasturtii, M. persicae, and Rhopalosiphum padi. Both PVY isolates showed a similar transmission phenotype in being transmitted efficiently by M. persicae but very poorly or not at all by A. glycines, A. gossypii, and R. padi. The aphid A. nasturtii transmitted both isolates with an intermediate level of efficiency. The data do not support a model for a differential aphid transmissibility being responsible for the increase in the prevalence of PVYN-Wi.
