The complexity of the Potato virus Y (PVY) (Potyviridae: Potyvirus) pathosystem is affected by the presence of several virus strains that differ in their ability to produce tuber necrosis and by the presence of an alternate host that could increase the amount of inoculum in potato fields. Solanum sarrachoides (Sendtner) is an invasive weed from South America present in Pacific Northwest potato agro-ecosystems. It serves as reservoir of PVY and its most efficient vectors: the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), and the potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas). The role of S. sarracoides as vector and virus reservoir in PVY epidemiology was investigated through a series of laboratory and greenhouse experiments. We studied the symptoms produced in S. sarracoides upon infection with necrotic and non-necrotic strains of PVY and looked at the percentage of infection and titer accumulation of these strains. PVY infection in S. sarrachoides produced symptoms similar to those produced in PVY-infected potato plants. Mottling and yellowing were the main symptoms of infection observed in S. sarrachoides plants, especially by PVYO and PVYNTN infection. Greenhouse transmission studies revealed that PVY-infected S. sarrachoides increased the transmission rate of PVY necrotic strains by M. persicae. The necrotic strain PVYNTN reached higher titer in S. sarrachoides than in potato plants when compared to PVYO and PVYN:O These findings have broadened our understanding of the role and importance of S. sarrachoides in the PVY epidemiology in the potato ecosystems and could potentially be included in the development or optimization of virus management programs.

Test tube plantlets were used to assess the transmission efficiency of Potato virus Y (PVY) from and to potato plants by the potato colonizing species green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) and the non-potato colonizing species soybean aphid (Aphis glycines). Similar levels of transmission of PVY by M. persicae were observed in the test tube plantlets and potted plants, demonstrating the reliability of this test for PVY transmission efficiency assay for aphids. The assay was then used to assess the transmission of PVYO and PVYN:O by M. persicae and A. glycines with two virus acquisition regimes, one with 5-min continuous probing and the other with 1-h acquisition access. The M. persicae mediated-transmission rate was 24.1% and 51.7% for PVYO and PVYN:O, respectively, under the 5-min acquisition regime; under the same acquisition regime, A. glycines led to 0.0% and 1.7% infection rates for PVYO and PVYN:O, respectively. Under the 1-h acquisition regime, no infection was observed except for PVYN:O by M. persicae, which exhibited an infection rate of 3.4%.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is widely grown as a staple food and cash crop in Tajikistan and is an important food security crop in the country. In June 2011, we conducted a survey of potatoes in farmers' fields in the Buston and Dushanbe regions (about 200 miles apart) of Tajikistan. Potato plants with stunted growth and leaves showing chlorotic spots, curling, and necrotic spots and rings were observed with the disease incidence monitored in 10 fields each in Buston and Dushanbe areas varying between 10 and 60%. Representative samples from symptomatic plants tested positive for Potato virus Y (PVY) using virus-specific immunostrips (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). Leaf samples from symptomatic plants were collected from Buston and Dushanbe areas, imprinted on FTA Classic Cards (Whatman International Ltd., Maidstone, UK), air dried, and shipped to the lab at Washington State University for confirmatory diagnostic tests. Total nucleic acids were eluted from FTA cards (1) and subjected to reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with primers (PVY/Y4A and PVY/Y3S) specific to the coat protein of PVY (3). Samples infected with PVY ordinary strain (PVYO), tuber necrosis strain (PVYNTN), tobacco veinal necrosis strains (PVYEU-N and PVYNA-N), and a recombinant strain (PVYN:O) were included as references to validate RT-PCR results. A single DNA product of approximately 480 bp was amplified from potato samples that tested positive with PVY-specific immunostrips. The amplified fragments from two samples from Dushanbe and six from Buston areas were cloned separately into pCR2.1 (Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA) and two independent clones per amplicon were sequenced from both orientations. Pairwise comparison of these sequences showed 90 to 100% identity among the cloned amplicons (GenBank Accession Nos. JQ743609 to JQ743616) and 90 to 100% with corresponding nucleotide sequence of reference PVY strains (GenBank Accession Nos. JQ743617 to JQ743621). A global phylogenetic analysis of sequences revealed the presence of PVYO in both samples from Dushanbe and one sample from Buston regions and presence of PVYNTN in the remaining five samples from the Buston region. Because of the possible occurrence of mixed infections of PVY strains (2), further studies are needed to determine the presence of mixed infections of two or more strains of PVY and their specificity to potato cultivars. To our knowledge, this study represents the first confirmed report of two distinct strains of PVY in potato in Tajikistan. The occurrence of PVYNTN, a quarantine pathogen in many countries (2), warrants additional investigations to improve sanitary status of potato fields and to facilitate the availability of virus-free seed in clean plant programs for significant yield increases in Tajikistan.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important vegetable crop in Jordan, occupying second position after olives. In 2012, potatoes were planted on about 6,000 ha with a production of about 141,000 t (2). Potato virus Y (PVY) is a serious problem for potato production worldwide. Recombinant strains of the virus were reported to cause tuber necrotic ringspot disease (PTNRD) in many potato-growing regions of the world. In the last few years, a new recombinant PVYNTN-NW that belongs to PVYZ (3) has been reported in the neighboring Syria. It included three recombination patterns, SYR-I, SYR-II, and SYR-III, and caused severe PTNRD (1). Since PVY is easily transmitted from one region to another by aphid vectors and infected potato seeds, this study was initiated to investigate the possible occurrence of PVY strains in Jordan. In October 2013, 33 leaf samples were collected from symptomatic potato plants cv. Spunta from Wadi Rum, Jordan (GPS coordinates 29°31′37.76″ N, 35°42′48.75″ E), the largest potato-producing area in Jordan. Sampled plants displayed leaf mottling and yellowing, symptoms similar to those caused by PVY. All samples were tested for PVY by DAS-ELISA using the ELISA kit (monoclonal cocktail) developed by BIOREBA (Reinach, Switzerland) to detect all PVY isolates. Twenty-nine samples were found positive for PVY by ELISA. To confirm virus infection, total RNA was extracted from all ELISA-positive samples and used as template in uniplex RT-PCR using strain-specific primers (1). The band pattern of PCR amplicons showed that 12 samples were infected with PVYNTN-NW genotype SYR-III and produced bands of 1,085, 441, and 278 bp. One sample was infected with PVYNTN (A) and produced bands of 1,307, 633, and 441 bp, and one other sample was infected with PVYNTN-NW genotype SYR-II and produced bands of 1,085 and 441 bp. Mixed infection with PVYNTN-NW genotype SYR-III and PVYNTN (B) was also detected in one sample producing bands of 278, 441, 1,085, and 1,307 bp. To confirm infection with the recombinant strains, PCR fragments of 278 bp amplified from three samples and 1,085 bp obtained from another three samples were directly sequenced and sequences were deposited in GenBank under accession numbers KJ159968, KJ159969, and KJ159970 for the 278-bp fragment and KJ159974, KJ159975, and KJ159976 for the 1,085-bp fragment. Sequence comparison with other PVY strains available in the NCBI database showed that the 278-bp fragment had the highest nucleotide sequence identity (100%) with PVY isolates SYR-III-A26 (AB461467) and SYR-III-2-4 (AB461457) from Syria. BLAST searches also showed that the 1,085-bp fragment shared 99% nucleotide identities with PVY isolates SYR-II-L3 (AB461482) and SYR-II-Be4 (AB461474) from Aleppo, Syria. To our knowledge, this is the first report of PVY recombinants in Jordan, and the first report of PVYNTN-NW recombinants infecting potato crop outside Syria. Since Europe is the main supplier of potato seeds for farmers in Jordan and Syria, the introduction of PVYNTN-NW to the region could have happened through infected potato seeds. Results of this study create new challenges for potato growers in Jordan as well as other countries in the region. References: (1) M. Chikh Ali et al. J. Virol. Methods 165:15, 2010.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of different concentrations and combinations of the phytohormones, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP): M1 (0.5 mg / l +1 mg / l), M2 (1 mg / l + 0.5 mg / l) , M3 (2 mg / l +2 mg / l), M4 (0.5 mg / l + l mg / l, NAA), M5 (1.0 mg / l + l mg / l , NAA), and M6 (2.0 mg / l + l mg / l, NAA). This study was carried out in dark condition on callus induction of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars from potato tuber bud so as to demonstrate the role of light. The callus initiation begins after 7 days of incubation for all studied media. After two months of incubation, the better development of callus was noted in Spunta variety by using medium M1, M2, M3, and M6. The calluses took a compact structure of brown-white color for both varieties with a callus induction rate of 20- 40%. This was collected with kondor variety for M2 and (M3, M4, M5) media respectively and 10-30% for M4 (M1, M2, M3) for Spunta variety also. The highest fresh weight was recorded on M2 medium with 0.26g for Kondor variety and 0.93g for Spunta variety.

Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most severe viruses affecting the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum) in the world. This study presents a detailed molecular analysis using nextgeneration sequencing (NGS), IC-RT-qPCR and RT-PCR on the PVY isolates infecting seed-tubers and foliage of potato plants cv. Diacol-Capiro in La Union (Antioquia, Colombia). Analysis of incidence by IC-RT-qPCR in 15 random leaf samples of three cultivation plots and fifteen sprouting tuber eye-buds reveal infection levels between 13.4 and 80%; a higher incidence of 86.7% was observed in seed-tuber samples with threshold cycle (Ct) values as low as 24.3. Genome assembly from a bulk of foliage samples resulted in a consensus PVY genome (PVY_LaUnionF) of 9,702 nt and 399 polymorphic sites within the polyprotein ORF; while the assembled genome from sprouts of tubers has 9,704 nt (PVY_LaUnionT) and contained only six polymorphic nucleotide sites. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that the PVY isolates from leaf samples are in the recombinant PVYNTN group (sequence identity >99%); while those from tuber sprouts are in the PVYN/NTN group with identities above 95%. Sanger sequencing of viral capsid suggests the presence of a third variant related to PVYO, a prevalent strain reported in potato fields worldwide.

The recessive resistance genes pot-1 and pvr2 in Lycopersicon hirsutum and Capsicum annuum, respectively, control Potato virus Y (PVY) accumulation in the inoculated leaves. Infectious cDNA molecules from two PVY isolates differing in their virulence toward these resistances were obtained using two different strategies. Chimeras constructed with these cDNA clones showed that a single nucleotide change corresponding to an amino acid substitution (Arg119His) in the central part of the viral protein genome-linked (VPg) was involved in virulence toward the pot-1 resistance. On the other hand, 15 nucleotide changes corresponding to five putative amino acid differences in the same region of the VPg affected virulence toward the pvr21 and pvr22 resistances. Substitution models identified six and five codons within the central and C terminal parts of the VPg for PVY and for the related potyvirus Potato virus A, respectively, which undergo positive selection. This suggests that the role of the VPg-encoding region is determined by the protein and not by the viral RNA apart from its protein-encoding capacity.
