The Potato yellow vein virus (PYVV), a Crinivirus with an RNA tripartite genome, is the causal agent of the potato yellow vein disease, reported in Colombian since 1950, with yield reductions of up to 50%. Co-infection of two or more viruses is common in nature and can be associated with differences in virus accumulation and symptom expression. No evidence of mixed infection between PYVV and other viruses has been reported. In this study, eight plants showing yellowing PYVV symptoms: four Solanum tuberosum Group Phureja (P) and four Group Andigena (A), were collected in Cundinamarca, Colombia to detect mixed infection in the isolates using next generation sequencing (NGS). The Potato virus Y (PVY) complete genome (similar to N strain) and the Potato virus V (PVV) partial genomes were detected using NGS and re-confirmed by RT-PCR. Preliminary field screening in a large sample showed that PYVV and PVY co-infect potato plants with a prevalence of 21% within the P group and 23% within the A group. This is the first report of co-infection of PYVV and potyvirus in Colombia and with the use of NGS. Considering that potyviruses enhance symptom severity and/or yield reductions in mixed infections, our results may be relevant for disease diagnosis, breeding programs and tuber certification.

Observaciones anteriores en cultivos de papa (<em>Solanum tuberosum</em> y <em>Solanum phureja</em>) mostraron síntomas llamados atípicos en este trabajo, que consistían en hojas con manchas irregulares verde oscuro sobre un fondo amarillo intenso, que sugieren la presencia de virus. Estos síntomas no correlacionan con ningún virus descrito para papa en Colombia. En plantas, existen reportes de infecciones virales con dos o más virus que llevan a interacciones como sinergismo o antagonismo. En este trabajo se evaluó la hipótesis de que los síntomas atípicos podrían ser resultado de infecciones mixtas entre PYVV (<em>Potato yellow vein virus) (Crinivirus) </em>y PVY (<em>Potato virus Y</em>) (<em>Potyirus)</em>, pues ambos virus son comunes en cultivos de papa en Colombia. Se reportan resultados de RT-PCR (reacción en cadena de la polimerasa mediada por retrotranscripción) para la detección de PYVV y PVY, y de ELISA para PVX, PVS, PVM y PRLV en 57 plantas con y sin síntomas atípicos provenientes de campo. Los resultados no apoyan la hipótesis planteada, pues de 10 plantas con síntomas atípicos evaluadas solo una estaba infectada con los dos virus.  Por otro lado, coinfecciones de PVY y PYVV se observaron en plantas sin síntomas aparentes (4 plantas de 5 evaluadas) y en plantas con síntomas característicos de PYVV (17 plantas de 37 evaluadas). Del total de 20 plantas evaluadas por ELISA, 18 presentaban infección por PVX aunque no se observaron síntomas asociados a este virus. Ocho de estas plantas, además de PVX estaban infectadas también con PVY y PYVV, pero mostraban síntomas de característicos de PYVV, lo que sugiere que PVX tampoco correlaciona con los síntomas atípicos. Se sugiere la presencia de un virus no reportado infectando el cultivo de papa en Colombia.

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.

To evaluate the role of salicylic acid (SA) in Nb-mediated hypersensitive resistance to Potato virus X (PVX) avirulent strain ROTH1 in Solanum tuberosum, we have constructed SA-deficient transgenic potato plant lines by overexpressing the bacterial enzyme salicylate hydroxylase (NahG), which degrades SA. Evaluation of these transgenic lines revealed hydrogen peroxide accumulation and spontaneous lesion formation in an age- and light-dependent manner. In concordance, NahG potato plants were more sensitive to treatment with methyl viologen, a reactive oxygen species–generating compound. In addition, when challenged with PVX ROTH1, NahG transgenic lines showed a decreased disease-resistance response to infection and were unable to induce systemic acquired resistance. However, the avirulent viral effector, the PVX 25-kDa protein, does induce expression of the pathogenesis-related gene PR-1a in NahG potato plants. Taken together, our data indicate that SA is involved in local and systemic defense responses mediated by the Nb gene in Solanum tuberosum. This is the first report to show that basal levels of SA correlate with hypersensitive resistance to PVX.

ABSTRACTPotato virus Y (PVY) is a major potato pathogen that causes annual losses of billions of dollars. Control of its transmission requires extensive use of environmentally damaging insecticides. Rysto confers extreme resistance (ER) to PVY and is a valuable trait in resistance breeding programs. We isolated Rysto using Resistance gene enrichment sequencing (RenSeq) and PacBio SMRT (Pacific Biosciences Single-Molecule Real Time Sequencing). Rysto encodes a nucleotide binding-leucine rich repeat (NLR) protein with an N-terminal TIR domain, and is sufficient for PVY perception and extreme resistance in transgenic potato plants. We investigated the requirements for Rysto-dependent extreme resistance, and showed that Rysto function is temperature-independent and requires EDS1 and NRG1 proteins. Rysto may prove valuable for creating PVY-resistant cultivars of potato and other Solanaceae crops.

Potato yellow vein virus (PYVV) is the causal agent of the potato yellow vein disease and can reduce potato production up to 50%. This virus also infects tomatoes and can remain asymptomatic in plants. PYVV transmission is mediated by vegetative seed, the vector Trialeurodes vaporariorum, and grafts. Its genome has the P26 and P10 genes that are orthologues in the Crinivirus genus, which have been characterized as pathogenic factors and have not been studied in PYVV. We analyzed the variability of P26 and P10 from 45 and 48 sequences, which were obtained by RT-PCR amplification of the total RNA of symptomatic potato leaves from the provinces of Nariño, Cundinamarca, and Boyaca (Colombia). We included sequences of each gene of the PYVV genome of potato and tomato isolates from GenBank. The variability in these genes is influenced by the flow and uncontrolled use of vegetative seed between different provinces, that favor the dispersion of viral variants. In addition, the variability analysis based on maximum likelihood trees, haplotypes, and diversity indices showed that P26 is more variable than P10 and both are more variable in Andigena than in Phureja potatoes. The Tajima and Fu and Li tests revealedthat these genes are subject to negative selection.

Over the past 10 years, Tomato yellow vein streak virus (ToYVSV) has been a major begomovirus in the main solanaceous crop region of Campinas, São Paulo, which includes counties of Sumaré, Monte Mor, Elias Fausto, and Indaiatuba. The top leaves of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) having deforming mosaic symptoms (dms), which includes a yellow mosaic or mottling on distorted and deformed leaflets, were associated with this geminivirus (4). Recently, a table potato crop (cv. Agata) from Sumaré, with a record of a few or no white flies (Bemisia tabaci), during the winter season of June to September 2006 had 5 to 7% dms, suggestive of seed potato tuber borne virus infection. Double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA for Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), Potato virus X (PVX), and Potato virus S (PVS) (SASA kits and protocols, Edinburgh, Scotland) gave negative results for four field collected potato plants showing dms. Bioassays (mechanical transmission from potato leaf extracts in phosphate buffered saline, 1:5 w/v) with test plants of Nicotiana tabaccum cvs. Turkish and TNN, Gomphrena globosa, Chenopodium quinoa, Datura metel, Solanum tuberosum, and a Physalis sp. were all negative. Inoculated D. stramonium developed symptoms resembling ToYVSV infection including vein clearing and mild mottling on new leaves 2 to 3 weeks postinoculation. Using primers PAC1v1978/PAV1c715 for begomovirus detection (3), the predicted PCR amplified fragment of 1,320 bp was obtained from leaf DNA extracted from all four of the dms field potato plants, as well as the inoculated and symptomatic D. stramoniium test plants. Sequence analysis indicated 100% nt identity among the 1.3-kb PCR fragments obtained from potato and D. stramonium infected plants. Sequences of 96 cloned amplicons (pGEM-T Easy Kit; Promega, Madison, WI) from symptomatic plants in the Sumaré potato field were 98 to 99% identical to Tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV). BLAST analysis of a consensus sequence (Sequencher 3.1; Gene Codes Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI) revealed more than 95 and 99% identity with ToSRV isolates from Uberlandia (Accession No. AY029750) and Goias (Accession No. DQ207749), respectively. The DNA-based phylogenetic dendrogram confirmed the highest similarity with ToSRV and the lowest similarity with ToYVSV (72%), which was located in another cluster. These results indicate that ToSRV was the causal agent producing dms in potato plants from Sumaré. Therefore, similarly to ToYVSV (4), potato dms can be caused by ToSRV. Preliminary tests revealed that ToSRV was transmitted via seed tubers. Thus, it is of concern for seed potato certification in Brazil, especially in the major seed-potato-producing state of Santa Catarina where an outbreak of ToSRV was recently reported in tomato crops (1). Although ToSRV has been identified in other solanaceous crops in Brazil, especially tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and sweet pepper (Capsicum annum) (2), to our knowledge, this is the first report of ToSRV in potato in Brazil.

Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the important diseases of potato throughout the world wherever potatoes are grown. Yield losses in potato due to PVY are upto 70% if infection occurs at initial growth stages of plants. More than eight PVY strains have been reported worldwide which differ from each other based on symptoms they produce in the infected host plants and at their genetic makeup. In recent past years, new necrotic strains of PVY have emerged which are more damaging as they produce necrotic rings and arms on the tubers of infected plants. With increasing aphid population during last decade, incidence of PVY epidemics has increased worldwide. Managing PVY is difficult as some strains do not produce symptoms on infected potato plants and disease diagnosis becomes difficult. In Pakistan, work on strain differentiation of PVY and their aphid vectors are lacking and there is need of molecular research to identify PVY strains which are present in Pakistan.
