چکیده

In Tunisia, potato virus Y (PVY) currently presents a significant threat to potato production, reducing tuber yield and quality. Three hundred and eighty-five potato samples (six different cultivars) collected in autumn 2007 from nine regions in Tunisia were tested for PVY infection by DAS-ELISA. The virus was detected in all regions surveyed, with an average incidence of 80.26%. Subsequently, a panel of 82 Tunisian PVY isolates (PVY-TN) was subjected to systematic biological, serological and molecular typing using immunocapture reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and a series of PVYOC- and PVYN-specific monoclonal antibodies. Combined analyses revealed ~67% of PVYNTN variants of which 17 were sequenced in the 5'NTR-P1 region to assess the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of PVY-TN against other worldwide PVY isolates. To investigate whether selective constraints could act on viral genomic RNA, synonymous and non-synonymous substitution rates and their ratio were analyzed. Averages of all pairwise comparisons obtained in the 5'NTR-P1 region allowed more synonymous changes, suggesting selective constraint acting in this region. Selective neutrality test was significantly negative, suggesting a rapid expansion of PVY isolates. Pairwise mismatch distribution gave a bimodal pattern and pointed to an eventually early evolution characterizing these sequences. Genetic haplotype network topology provided evidence of the existence of a distinct geographical structure. This is the first report of such genetic analyses conducted on PVY isolates from Tunisia.

Development of a multiplex AmpliDet RNA assay for simultaneous detection and typing of potato virus Y isolates.

A multiplex AmpliDet RNA assay was developed for the specific detection of potato virus Y (PVY), and for the differentiation of the PVY(N), PVY(O/C) strains and the tuber necrotic isolates (PVY(NTN)). The assay is based on the generic amplification of a region within the coat protein coding region of all known PVY isolates by nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) and strain-specific...
