The results of field tests with random lots of potato tubers showing phloem necrosis of similar type are summarized. The vines from tubers of five of these developed typical leaf-roll symptoms, but those of three others showed no sign of leaf roll, or other symptoms that suggested a virus as the causal agent. The net necrosis in one of the latter samples was known to result from vine infestation of Paratrioza cockerelli Sulc, and in this case the stock returned to full vigour during the second season. It was further confirmed that once the vines show definite symptoms of leaf roll, the phloem elements of their tubers henceforth do not exhibit necrosis.The tissue contiguous to the necrotic phloem elements in the affected tubers was uniformly fluorescent, but the unaffected portion of such tubers, as well as non-necrotic tubers from positive leaf-roll plants, reacted negatively to ultraviolet light.

In experiments in which nonviruliferous colonies (25 to 50 individuals per plant) of Myzus persicae Sulc. were caged from 7 to 10 days on healthy potato vines growing under field conditions, the tubers failed to develop phloem necrosis. Under comparable conditions, the tubers from healthy plants caged with leaf-roll-infective colonies of this vector developed severe phloem necrosis. When planted, these tubers produced leaf-roll-infected plants.

A method has been described for the isolation of a crystalline fluorescent compound that occurs in Green Mountain potato tubers during the first year of infection with leaf roll virus. The substance was identified as 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy 1:2 benzopyrone (scopoletin), previously isolated by Best from tobacco plants, infected with tomato spotted wilt virus.

A degeneration of the phloem elements of the potato, which occurs in plants suffering from Leaf-roll, was first described by Quanjer (1913). Since them phloem necrosis has been recorded by many workers, some ascribing it to specific pathogenic causes while others state that it occurs in both healthy and diseased plants. Esmarch (1921) states that it is always present in the ripening plant, and v. Brehmer (1923) shows three types of necrosis, viz., Nekrobiose , Obliteration and Necrosis , of which only the last is necessarily due to virus infection. On the other hand, Artschwager (1923) found necrotic changes only in virus infected and injured plants. In this paper an attempt is made to correlate the histopathological changes occuring in virus diseased plants with the external symptoms which they exhibit. A large part of the work is devoted to the morbid anatomy of certain “Streak” diseases, for a detailed account of the external symptons of which see Salaman and Bawden (1932).

The paper presents the results of enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) of the presence of potato viruses S (PVS), M (PVM), Y (PVY), X (PVX), and Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV) in tubers of various potato varieties grown in 2019 in the Republic of Bashkortostan. PVS, PVM, PVY, PVX were detected, the VSLK virus was not detected. The greatest infection with PVS, PVM, and PVX was observed in samples of tubers of early-maturing varieties. Tubers of mid-early and late-maturing varieties were more often affected by PVY than early-maturing ones, and PVX was not detected in plants of those varieties. Ribonuclease (RNase) activity in potato tubers of 14 varieties depended on the earliness of the variety, regardless of the soil and climatic conditions. A statistically significant positive correlation (P<0.05) was found between the abundance of PVS and PVM viruses and RNase activity in tubers of medium-early and late-maturing varieties, whereas, on the contrary, a negative correlation between PVM and RNase activity was revealed when analyzing tubers of early-maturing varieties. It is concluded that the prevalence of potato viruses in the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the activity of RNase in tuber seedlings depend on the potato variety and the type of viruses.
