Interaction between Phytophthora infestans and potato viruses X and Y in potato
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
The interaction between Phytophthora infestans and potato viruses X (PVX) and Y (PVY) was studied in the potato cultivar Kufri Chandramukhi. Prior infection by PVX and PVY reduced the susceptibility of the plants to P. infestans. The reduction in susceptibility was more marked when leaflets were inoculated with P. infestans 72 h after inoculation with PVY. The same type of reaction was observed in whole plants when the interval between PVY and P. infestans inoculation was 30 days. No significant differences were observed when the sequence of inoculation was reversed.
