Detection and Identification of Viruses in Potatoes

  • Chapter
Virus and Virus-like Diseases of Potatoes and Production of Seed-Potatoes

Abstract

The early and accurate diagnosis of viral diseases is critical for effective management of most crop systems. Plant viruses are generally identified by symptoms, particle morphology, host range, serological properties and nucleic acid sequence. Symptoms are of major importance, because they are the main means by which a virus disease is diagnosed. Transmission of a virus from infected to healthy tissue is a fundamental procedure used to isolate viruses from diseased plants, to study viral symptoms and to assay for infectivity.
