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,...

Optimizing virus detection in potato breeding populations AN
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...
