ABSTRACT
In potato seed production, virus diseases especially Potato virus Y (PVY) are of great economic importance. This virus is
transmitted by many aphid species in a non-persistent manner, while
Myzus persicae
(Sulz.) is its most important vector. The first aim
of our research was to find out the dependence of the aphid feeding time, both in terms of acquisition feeding time and inoculation
feeding time on PVY
N
W and PVY
NTN
transmission. The second aim was to compare the retention of both strains of the virus in the
body of
M. persicae
. The research was carried out in a laboratory and in a glasshouse. It was found out that the dependence between
feeding time and the effectiveness of PVY
N
W and PVY
NTN
transmission was similar. Along with the prolonging of the acquisition feed-
ing time from up to 7 s, the effectiveness of the initial transmission of both strains increased. After transmission effectiveness reached
the optimum, transmission clearly decreased, but within the extent of the applied feeding time (7 and 30 s; 2, 8, 32 and 60 min) it did
not lower down to zero. The highest infection of test plants
Physalis floriana
Rydb. by both strains was recorded during a 2-minute-long
feeding of aphids. The percentage of infected plants amounted to 50% with PVY
NTN
transmission, and 30% with PVY
N
W transmission.
However, the prolonging the inoculation feeding time of aphids also initially increased the transmission effectiveness of both virus
strains. Having reached the optimum, which took place as a result of a 30-second-long feeding (PVY
NTN
) and a 30-second to 2-minute-
long feeding (PVY
N
W), the share of plants infested by these strains was 30% and 15%, respectively. Continuous prolonging of the feeding time caused a slow decrease in the effectiveness of transmission. During a 60-minute-long feeding, the share of infested plants was
15% (PVY
NTN
) and 10% (PVY
N
). The retention of PVY
N
W and PVY
NTN
in aphids which were starved following the acquisition of the
virus was similar and lasted less than 2 hours. However, in relation to aphids feeding after the acquisition of the virus, the retention
of PVY
NTN
was much shorter (aphids could effectively transfer the virus as far as the 4th plant out of 10 consecutively inoculated) than
that of PVY
N
W (in which the 7th plant was also infected). In total, PVY
NTN
was more effectively transmitted than PVY
N
W.
