Replication Data for: First Report of Potato virus S Naturally Infecting Arracacha (Arracacia xanthorrhiza) in Peru

Arracacha is an andean root crop, that sometimes is grown together with potato plants. Potato virus S (PVS) has been reported that infect naturally pepino and potato. Due to there are reports that andean roots and tuber crops, we designed universal primers for carlaviruses in the RdRp region and an infected arracacha in the collection germplasm from International Potato Center (CIP) was detected. We complete the downstream sequence and analysis the 7kDa, 11kDa and the coat protein and concluded that it is a new strain of PVS. Moreover, the designed primer will be useful to detect this virus in arracacha where this culture is much marketed.

阿拉卡恰（Arracacha）是一种安第斯块根作物，有时与马铃薯植株混种。已有报道表明，马铃薯S病毒（Potato virus S, PVS）可自然侵染香瓜茄和马铃薯。鉴于已有关于安第斯块根和块茎作物的相关报道，我们针对香石竹潜病毒属（carlavirus）RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶（RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, RdRp）区域设计了通用引物，并在国际马铃薯中心（International Potato Center, CIP）的种质资源库中检测到一株受侵染的阿拉卡恰植株。我们完成了下游序列测定，并对7kDa、11kDa蛋白及外壳蛋白进行了分析，最终确定该病毒为PVS的一个新株系。此外，所设计的引物可用于在阿拉卡恰种植广泛的地区检测该病毒。
