Motivations RNA silencing, or post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), is a conserved mechanism in a broad range of eukaryotes. In plants, PTGS acts as an antiviral system and a successful virus infection requires suppression or evasion of the induced silencing response. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) accumulate in plants infected with RNA and DNA viruses and provide specificity to this RNA...

The effect of temperature on the rate of systemic infection of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Chu-Baek) by Potato virus Y (PVY) was studied in growth chambers. Systemic infection of PVY was observed only within the temperature range of 16°C to 32°C. Within this temperature range, the time required for a plant to become infected systemically decreased from 14 days at 20°C to 5.7 days at 28°C...

Vegetative propagation of potato allows the dissemination of viruses that can cause drastic drops in tuber yield. Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most important viruses of potato due to the non-persistent mode of transmission through vector insects. Genetic resistance is the recommended control measure since the chemical control of vector insects is not effective. This study aimed to identif...

BACKGROUND Potato virus Y (PVY, genus Potyvirus) causes substantial economic losses in solanaceous plants. Routine screening for PVY is an essential part of seed potato certification, and serological assays are often used. The commercial, commonly used monoclonal antibodies, MAb1128, MAb1129, and MAb1130, recognize the viral coat protein (CP) of PVY and distinguish PVYN strains from PVYO and PV...

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensors have been widely utilized for measuring interactions of a variety of molecules. Fewer examples include higher biological entities such as bacteria and viruses, and even fewer deal with plant viruses. Here, we describe the optimization of an SPR sensor chip for evaluation of the interaction of the economically relevant filamentous Potato virus Y (...

The photosynthetic rate of virus-infected plants is always reduced. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear. The helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro) of Potato virus Y (PVY) was found in the chloroplasts of PVY-infected tobacco, indicating some new function of HC-Pro in the chloroplasts. We generated HC-Pro transgenic plants with a transit peptide to target t...

Abstract Potato viruses PLRV, PVY, PVM, PVA, PVX and PVS can cause up to 90% loss of potato harvest. Therefore, they are monitored by law in many countries using DAS-ELISA or conventional real-time RT-qPCR. Previously, we developed a multiplex DiRT-PCR (Direct reverse transcript – polymerase chain reaction), which works directly on diluted tuber sap thus saves time chemical processing for RNA e...

In recent years, Potato Virus Y has reemerged as a serious disease problem in many potato production areas in the northern United States and eastern Canada. Three recently introduced cultivars, ‘Russet Norkotah’, ‘Shepody’, and ‘Silverton’ are widely grown and express mild or no symptoms when infected with PVY. The lack of symptoms often associated with these cultivars and novel, recombinant st...
