Abstract Testing for potato viruses is globally very important to prevent a critical shortage of supply. In most countries, testing obligated by law. Germany, seed potatoes are monitored six viruses: PLRV, PVY, PVM, PVA, PVX and PVS. They can cause up 90% loss tubers in the field. Common methods currently used ELISA conventional real-time PCR, but both time-consuming, former needs high capacity...

Potato production is directly infl uenced by various biological factors among which the most important viruses take the place. Th ere are more than 20 known viruses that aff ect potato causing malformation in growth and yield reduction. In order to preserve the native potato cultivar ‘Poluranka’, which is historically dominant cultivar in the mountainous region of Herzegovina (western part of B...

this research was performed in order to study and diagnose potato virus y,potyvirus (pvy), potato virus x,potexvirus (pvx), potato virus s,carlavirus (pvs), potato virus a,potyvirus(pva) and potato leafroll luteovirus (plrv) on tubers and leaves of different potato varieties, namely, solea, safran, floris, proventa, milva, universa, lady olympia, vangogh, and marabel grown in afyon region of tu...

The genomic RNA of beet western yellows virus (BWYV) contains a potential translational frameshift signal in the overlap region of open reading frames ORF2 and ORF3. The signal, composed of a heptanucleotide slippery sequence and a downstream pseudoknot, is similar in appearance to those identified in retroviral RNAs. We have examined whether the proposed BWYV signal functions in frameshifting ...

Viral diseases have been a major limiting factor threating sustainable potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production in Pakistan. Surveys were conducted to serologically quantify the incidence of RNA viruses infecting potato; Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato virus S (PVS), Potato virus A (PVA), Potato virus M (PVM) and Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) in two major potato cultivars (De...
