<strong>Potato</strong> Aucuba Mosaic Virus<br />

<strong>Potato</strong> aucuba mosaic virus (PAM V) is found worldwide but<br />

is not common. It is also called tuber blotch.<br />

Symptoms<br />

These depend bit itotn Nirs strainaand potato cultivar( Fig. 88<br />

A and B). They include bright yellow spots, mostly on the lower<br />

leaves: deformation and stunting \without Vello" spots: mosaic<br />

and top necrosis: and necrosis and sometimes deformation <strong>of</strong><br />

the tubers (tuber blotch) (l'ig. 88().<br />

Foliage symptoms may be lacking in the second \ear after<br />

infection and later. liher necrosis generally de\clops duiring<br />

storage and its de\elopaient is more sexere at higher<br />

temperatures (20-24°C) than at lower ones. Necrosis <strong>of</strong> the<br />

tubers can be both on the surface lbrown patches and sunken<br />

brown areas) atnd in the flesh.<br />

Originally. P)AM V (potato virus G) and potato tuber blotch<br />

virus (potato virus F) were described as different viruses. Now<br />

the latter isconsidered to bea strain <strong>of</strong> PAM V. Many strains are<br />

known and can best be differentiated by using various potato<br />

cultivars.<br />

Causal Agent<br />

PAMV has filamentous particles. 580 am long and 11-12 nrn<br />

wide. The virus istransmitted mechanically and by aphids in the<br />

nonpersistent manner (stVlethorne) when aided by "helper"<br />

viruses, including potato viruses Yor A.<br />

The virus is strongly immunogenic. Antisera can be used for<br />

identificatiotn by the precipitina test.<br />

Other Hosts<br />

On CapCsium annuun, brown, irregular concentric local<br />

lesions appear after 8-10 days. followed by systemic symptoms<br />

such as vein clearing, deformation, and severe necrosis (Fig.<br />

88D) and sometimes by complete killing <strong>of</strong> the plants. PAMV<br />

can be differentiated from mop-top virus, which produces<br />

similar symptons on potato, because the latter does not infect<br />

C. annu 1 systemically.<br />

Nicotiana glitinosa exhibits mottle and vein banding.<br />

In N. tahacum. PAMV usually produces symptomless<br />

systemic infection.<br />

Some strains produce small round yellow spots on lower<br />

leaves <strong>of</strong> LYcolersicon em-ulentum.<br />

Control<br />

Remove infected plants from seed fields.<br />

Tobacco Ringspot Virus<br />

So far, Andean potato calico caused by tobacco ringspot virus<br />

(TRSV) has been confirmed only in Peru, but preliminary tests<br />

indicate its presence in other Andean countries.<br />

Symptoms<br />

yellow areas on the margins <strong>of</strong> middle and upper leaves<br />

gradually increase in siue to form large patches or even to affect<br />

the whole leaf (Plate 73). Most <strong>of</strong> the plant foliage may<br />

eventually turn yellow without stunting or leaf deformation<br />

(Plates 73 and 74). In experimentally inoculated potato, the<br />

primary reactions are local and systemic necrotic spots,<br />

ringspots, and sometimes systemic necrosis.<br />

Particles are isometric, about 28 nm in diameter. Purified<br />

Causal Agent<br />

preparations show empty particles and particles with infectious<br />

or noninfectious nucleoprotein. The virus is highly<br />

immunogeric. TRSV occurs in nature as six well-characterized,<br />

serologically related strains. The Andean potato calico strain is<br />

serologically related, but not identical, to the others. In tobacco<br />

sap its thermal inactivation point is 55-60' C: longevity in vitro,<br />

9-Il days; and dilution end point, I0 -<br />

- 10 - ' . TRSV is similar in<br />

certain respects to potato black ringspot virus.
