Potato virus Y (PVY), of the genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae, is highly pathogenic virus, causing enormous economic losses in solanaceous crops. Based on the ELISA test for the screened areas, the virus incidence ranged from 15- 30%. Mild mosaic and/ or mottling associated with leaf deformation were observed after 21 days on N. tabacum cv (white barley and galtinosa), mechanically inoculated with PVY- Kafer El-Zayat isolate. However, only mild mosaic was observed on same plants following PVY-Komhamada challenge. Molecular analysis measures including, view moreĀ»
