A25478 Em(43)_sy:A25478 Potato leafroll virus DNA from pcpl1 plasmid. 4/95 1,779bp. The largest segment nt. NCBI Taxon ID: Poly A region absent (Mayo et al., 1982). Non-genomic nucleic acid found in the virions. Is subgenomic mrna (2.66 kb; Barker et al., 1984). Genomic nucleic acid isolated by Rowhani and Stace-Smith (1979); Takanami and Kubo (1979b). Virions contain 70 % protein. Two structural virion proteins found. Protein size of the larger Da. Coat protein. Protein size of 2nd largest 7000 Da. A genome-linked protein (VPg). Method of preparation: Rowhani and Stace-Smith (1979). Virus-coded non-structural proteins isolated (Mayo et al. (1982); Mayo and Barker (1984)). Three non-structural proteins found. Protein size of the largest Da (Mayo et al., 1982). Protein size of 2nd largest Da (Mayo et al., 1982). Protein size of 3rd Da (Mayo and Barker, 1984). Virions contain 0 % lipid. Function of Helper and Satellite Viruses. Virions associated with helper virus, but independent from its functions during replication. Cytopathology. Virions found in phloem and companion cells; in cytoplasm and in cell vacuoles. Virions found in (Arai et al., 1969; Kojima et al., 1969). Vesicles occur in the cytoplasm attached to the nucleus and fused with the nuclear envelope (Shepardson et al., 1980). Inclusions present in infected cells. Inclusions are crystals in the cytoplasm. They contain virions. Other cellular changes: thickening of walls in primary phloem cells of stems and petioles, and callose accumulated in some sieve tubes of tubers. The presence of callose is the basis of various staining tests (e.g. with 1% Resorcin Blue), used before serological methods were developed (de Bokx, 1967). Antigenic Properties Serological Relationships Virus(es) with serologically related virions: tobacco necrotic dwarf (SDI 1), beet western yellows/beet mild yellowing (SDI 2-4), bean leafroll, subterranean clover red leaf and barley yellow dwarf viruses

4 (Kubo and Takanami, 1978; Roberts et al., 1980; Kubo, 1981; Tamada et al., 1984; Thomas, 1984). Biological Properties Symptoms and Host Range Host of virus belongs to the Domain Eucarya. Host of virus belongs to the Kingdom Plantae. Natural Host Range and Symptoms Symptoms persist. Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum - pallor or reddening of the tip leaves, which roll and become erect. Plants grown from infected tubers are stunted, leaflets upwardly rolled, oldest leaves first. Solanum tuberosum ssp. andigena in South America - stunting and marginal yellowing of tip leaves (Rodriguez and Jones, 1978). Lycopersicon esculentum - stunting of plants, marginal yellowing and curling of leaflets, and death of flower buds (Braithwaite and Blake, 1961). Experimental Host Range and Symptoms Several (3-9) families susceptible. Diagnostic, Propagational and Assay Host Range Diagnostic host: susceptible host species and symptoms Datura stramonium - systemic interveinal yellowing. Physalis floridana - systemic interveinal chlorosis, older leaves slightly rolled, plant stunted. Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum - stunted and leaves rolled. Diagnostic host: insusceptible host species Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis, Raphanus sativus, Vicia faba. Maintenance and propagation host species: Physalis floridana, Solanum tuberosum. Assay hosts (Local lesions or Whole plants) Physalis floridana (W). Susceptible Hosts Experimentally infected species susceptible to virus: Amaranthus caudatus, or Capsella bursa-pastoris, or Celosia argentea, or Datura stramonium, or Gomphrena globosa, or Lycopersicon esculentum, or Montia perfoliata, or Nicotiana clevelandii, or Physalis floridana, or Solanum tuberosum, or Solanum tuberosum ssp. andigena, or Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum. Insusceptible Hosts Species inoculated with virus, but tested not to be susceptible: Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis, or Brassica oleracea var. capitata, or Pisum sativum, or Raphanus sativus, or Senecio vulgaris, or Vicia faba. Families containing susceptible hosts: Amaranthaceae (3/3), or Cruciferae (1/4), or Portulacaceae (1/1), or Solanaceae (7/7).

5 Families containing insusceptible hosts: Compositae (1/1), or Cruciferae (3/4), or Leguminosae- Papilionoideae (2/2). Sources of host-range data: Natti et al. (1953); Thomas (1984); Tamada et al. (1984). Transmission Transmitted by a vector. Virus not transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by seed; not transmitted by pollen. Transmitted by an insect; Myzus persicae is the most efficient and important; Macrosiphum euphorbiae transmits potato strains less effectively but is a good vector of Australian tomato yellow top isolates; Aphididae. Transmitted in a persistent manner. Virus retained when the vector moults; does not multiply in the vector (although Weidemann (1982) found that virion antigen accumulates in the nuclei of cells of the midgut and principal salivary glands of Myzus persicae 1-2 days after virus acquisition and suggested that the virus multiplies in these cells). Geographic Distribution Probably distributed world-wide (in potato growing areas. Tomato yellow top diseases are reported from North America (Alstatt and Ivanoff, 1945), South America (Costa, 1949) and Australasia (Sutton, 1955), but not all have been shown to be caused by strains of potato leafroll virus). Spreads in China. Diagnostic and Methods Leaf sap contains few virions. Method: Takanami and Kubo (1979a). Taxonomic Structure References Taxonomic structure of the species. Strains: tobacco yellow top virus, tomato yellow top strain (Sutton, 1955; Thomas, 1984), capsicum yellows virus (Gunn and Pares, 1990). Altstatt, G.E. and Ivanoff, S.S. (1945). Pl. Dis.
