Potato virus Y (PVY) infects a wide host range mainly within the
Solanaceae and is distributed worldwide. PVY is transmitted by more
than 40 aphid species in a non persistent manner. Isolates of the
PVY species are highly variable at biological, serological and
molecular levels. Epidemiological studies have highlighted the
emergence of distinct potato PVY variants able to induce necroses
on potato tubers. Due to the lack of efficient resistance to PVY
isolates inducing necrotic symptoms in cultivated varieties and the
plant-to-plant transmission of isolates through the daughter
tubers, PVY has become the most economically important virus for
the potato industry. The review offers an overview of several
decades of research on PVY but also focuses on the latest data
obtained by expert on PVY worldwide on the biological
characteristics of PVY, interactions between aphids-hosts, its
evolution and management. Identified knowledge gaps to understand
further PVY biology will be discussed.
