Monitoring potato leafroll virus movement in differentially aged potato (Solanum tubersom L.) plants with an immunosorbent direct tissue blotting assay

Creator:

Whitworth, Jonathan L.

Abstract:

Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) causes yield and quality losses in potato. PLRV is identified by plant symptoms and serological tests such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A similar serological test, direct tissue blotting assay (DTBA), was used to detect and monitor PLRV movement in field-inoculated Russet Burbank plants and...

Optimizing virus detection in potato breeding populations

Creator:

Hane, Dan C.

Abstract:

Virus contamination in a potato breeding program can seriously disrupt the variety development process. Experiments were conducted from 1989 through 1993 to: evaluate the extent to which Potato Leafroll Virus (PLRV) and Potato Virus Y (PVY) can invade a breeding program, determine viral spread within hills and within individual tubers,...
