Potato, the world's most popular crop is reported to provide a food source for nearly a billion
people. It is prone to a number of biotic stressors that affect yield and quality, out of which …

Viruses are among the most significant biotic constraints in potato production. In the century
since the discovery of the first potato viruses we have learned more and more about these …

The integration of molecular markers in the realm of potato genetics has opened new
avenues for accelerating genotype analysis and developing improved varieties. Many …

Potato virus Y (PVY) exists as a complex of strains, including a growing number of
recombinants. Evolution of PVY proceeds through accumulation of mutations and more …

Potato virus Y (PVY) is a serious threat to potato production due to effects on tuber yield and
quality, in particular, due to induction of potato tuber necrotic ringspot disease (PTNRD) …

Biological and whole genome properties were compared between eight historical European
(1943–1984) and five Australian (2003–2012) Potato virus Y (PVY) isolates. Based on …

Potato virus Y (PVY) is a major pathogen of potatoes and other solanaceous crops
worldwide. It is most closely related to potyviruses first or only found in the Americas, and it …

Highlights•Potato virus Y affecting potato has undergone a dramatic virus strain
shift.•Regulatory and breeding practices are important drivers of the evolution of PVY strain …

Potato virus Y (PVY) isolates from potato currently exist as a complex of six biologically
defined strain groups all containing nonrecombinant isolates and at least 14 recombinant …

Potato virus Y (PVY) strains have been defined based on genetic reactions in potato
indicators expressing hypersensitive reaction (HR) response due to the presence of three …
