| Popis: | In Hokkaido potato fields, tubers produced from the plants with leaf curl symptoms caused by potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) were noted to be more densely covered with Rhizoctonia sclerotia. This observation led us to hypothesize that potato infected with PLRV would have an increased susceptibility to Rhizoctonia solani. To test this hypothesis, in a pot experiment, we inoculated PLRV-infected mother tubers with Rhizoctonia. As a result, PLRV-infected plants produced significantly fewer and smaller tubers than virus-free plants did, suggesting that PLRV-infected plants are more susceptible than virus-free plants to R. solani. Virus-free seed tubers should thus be used to reduce Rhizoctonia diseases. |
