Antiviral activity of sukomycin against Potato Virus Y and Tomato Mosaic Virus
Journal Title: Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Potato Virus Y (PVY) and Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV) are one of the most important plant viruses that strongly influence the quality and quantity of vegetable production and cause substantial losses to farmers. The most conventional and common method of pest and disease control is through the use of pesticides. Unfortunately, most of them are synthetic compounds without antiviral activities and possess inherent toxicities that endanger the health of farm operators, consumers and the environment. In order to carry out a control of viral infections in plants and to reduce the loss of production it is necessary to search for alternative and environmentally friendly methods for control. Sukomycin is a complex of substances with antimicrobial and antiviral activities produced from Streptomyces hygroscopicus isolated from soil. This natural complex significantly reduces symptoms and DAS-ELISA values of Potato virus Y and Tomato mosaic virus in tobacco plants.
