Abstract
An unusual isolate of potato virus S (PVS-An) was recovered from potato (Solanum tuberosum ''Red La Soda''). In contrast with most described PVS isolates, PVS-An is aphid-transmissible and invades Chenopodium quinoa systemically after inducing chlorotic local lesions. PVS-An was transmitted (10 aphids/plant) at about 10% efficiency in tests that included transmission of purified PVS-An by aphids fed through artificial membranes. The systemic invasion of C. quinoa is of interest because the PVS isolates reported from Europe and North America induce only a local lesion response. Aphid-transmissibility and systemic invasion of C. quinoa are common features of isolates of the Andean strain of PVS. PVS-An conforms to the description of the Andean strain of PVS.
