Abstract

Five fresh market potato cultivars commonly grown in western Washington were evaluated against Potato virus Y (PVY) O, NTN, and N-Wi using inoculated PVY-free plantlets in the greenhouse in 2015 and successive generations of seed tubers from foliar inoculated plants in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Mosaic displayed strongly on all cultivar by strain combinations, except All Blue by PVYO. Russet Burbank and Yukon Gold infected with PVYO had highest area under symptom progress curve values for leaf drop across all cultivars and years. Yields mostly were lowest for PVYO. More cracked tubers developed on G3 tubers in the field than greenhouse G2 or G1 plants. Chieftain infected with PVYO and PVYNTN, and Yukon Gold with PVYN-Wi had marked increases in tuber cracking by 2018. Cracking began at early plant growth stages; seed tuberborne rather than current season infections had higher cracking incidence; cracking became prevalent with succeeding seed tuber generations; cracking did not contribute to tuber weight loss during storage; and, PVY and tuber cracking substantially impacted yield.

Resumen

Se evaluaron cinco variedades de papa para mercado fresco que se cultivan comúnmente en el occidente de Washington, contra el virus Y de la papa (PVY) O, NTN, y N-Wi, utilizando plántulas inoculadas que estaban libres del virus en invernadero en 2015, así como a generaciones sucesivas de tubérculos-semilla de plantas inoculadas en la hoja en 2016, 2017 y 2018. Se presentó muy fuerte el mosaico en todas las variedades por la combinación de variantes, excepto All Blue por el PVYO. Russet Burbank y Yukon Gold infectadas con PVYO tuvieron los valores más altos del área bajo la curva de progreso de los síntomas para caída de las hojas en todas las variedades y años. Los rendimientos en su mayoría fueron los más bajos para PVYO. Se desarrollaron más tubérculos cuarteados en tubérculos G3 en el campo que plantas de G3 o G1 en el invernadero. Chieftain infectada con PVYO y PVYNTN, y Yukon Gold con PVYN-Wi tuvieron aumentos marcados en tubérculos cuarteados en 2018. El cuarteado empezó en etapas tempranas del crecimiento de la planta: Las infecciones por semilla, en vez de las normales del ciclo, tuvieron mayor incidencia de cuarteado; el cuarteado se volvió prevalente con generaciones subsecuentes de tubérculo-semilla; el cuarteamiento no contribuyó con la pérdida de peso del tubérculo durante el almacenamiento, y el PVY y las cuarteaduras de tubérculo impactaron substancialmente el rendimiento.
