Description

Technology Field

[0001] One example of the present invention relates to a composition for controlling potato Y virus comprising a compound of Formula 1 or a pesticide-acceptable salt thereof; and a method for controlling potato Y virus comprising the step of treating a plant or soil in which the plant is planted with said compound. Background Technology

[0002] Potato Virus Y (PVY) is a major pathogen causing the most severe economic losses in potato cultivation, with a very high incidence rate, accounting for over 95% of all virus outbreaks. Potato Y is transmitted by approximately 40 species of aphids, including the peach aphid, and can also be spread through infected seed potatoes. Potatoes infected with Potato Y exhibit mosaic or yellowing spots on the leaves, resulting in a severe yield reduction of 10–30%. Particularly during low-temperature periods, tubers turn red and their surfaces deform resembling ginger; in the case of the Haryeong variety, necrotic symptoms occur, such as tissue depression around the eyes or raised surface. Exposure to temperatures below 5°C during the growing season causes potatoes to crack like popcorn and turn red, whereas under conditions above 15°C, yield decreases but cracking does not occur.

[0003] To control this potato Y virus, it is necessary to use disease-free seed potatoes, thoroughly control aphids, remove infected plants early, and adjust the planting time appropriately; however, there is a need for more direct antiviral agents.

[0058] Examples

[0059] Example 1. Selection of substances for controlling potato virus Y and verification of control effect

[0060] Figure 1 shows a virus control agent screening system constructed to select the compound of the present invention. Specifically, after treating the compound on a solid medium, virus-infected plants were inoculated and cultured for one month. Subsequently, the virus-fighting effect of the compound was confirmed through ELISA diagnosis. Potato virus Y used in the experiment was continuously subcultured and maintained through liquid culture and tissue culture of PVY-infected seedlings, thereby stably securing the virus-infected plants required for the experiment.

[0061] A primary analysis was conducted to measure the antiviral efficacy of potato Y virus (PVY) against candidate substances known to have control effects against animal RNA viruses.

[0062] Candidate substances were treated with a concentration of 20 ppm using DMSO solvent, virus (PVY) infected seedlings were inoculated, and after 1 month of culture, the virus concentration was measured using the ELISA method to select substances that showed efficacy.

[0063] Among the above candidate substances, a substance exhibiting excellent PVY antiviral effect was selected, and a secondary analysis was performed to select the final active substance.

[0064] The effectiveness of candidate substances was tested by increasing the number of repetitions using solid and liquid media in the same manner as the primary analysis.

[0065] As a result, the active substance TAC series was selected as a candidate group of active substances.

[0066] The control effects of three substances (TAC-12, TAC-22, TACPY-11) from the TAC series that consistently showed control effects against potato Y virus were analyzed to select the final PVY antiviral agent.

[0067] Specifically, three substances (TAC-12, TAC-22, and TACPY-11) from the TAC series that exhibit sustained efficacy were selected and prepared at a concentration of 20 ppm. Acetone was used as the organic solvent because it has intermediate properties between hydrophilic and hydrophobic, allowing for effective dissolution of the substances without precipitation issues. Additionally, Tween-20 was prepared at a concentration of 100 ppm; this substance helps increase the solubility of the candidate substances used in the experiment by effectively dispersing hydrophobic substances in aqueous solutions.

[0068] The inhibitory effect of each substance on the PVY virus was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the experiment was repeated three times. For the control group, samples of acetone, Tween-20, and potato Y virus were added at the same concentrations as those in the experimental group.

[0069] To determine optimal conditions for the transfer of the substance to plant tissues, various organic solvents such as DMSO and EtOH were used; while effects were observed, variations occurred between replicates. As a result of searching for an additive that exhibited a sustained effect without variations between replicates, using Actone as a solvent and treating with Tween 20 as an emulsifier resulted in the substance dispersing well in the water-soluble medium without any precipitation. Analysis of the virus treatment effect also confirmed that no virus was detected, with no differences between replicates. The infected seedlings used in the experiment were found to be infected with Potato Y virus, as indicated by OD in ELISA diagnosis. 405 It is 3.0 or higher.

[0070] As a result, as shown in Figure 2, compared to the ELISA OD value of the control group (Con) being approximately 3.0, it was confirmed that the ELISA OD values ​​of TAC-12, TAC-22, and TACPY-11 were measured to be close to 0 in all three replicates, confirming that the PVY virus was hardly detected.

[0071] These results are TAC-12(9-azido-3-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroacridine), TAC-22(9-azido-2,3-dihydro-1) H -cyclopenta[ b ]quinoline) and TACPY-11(5-(4-((4-nitrophenoxy)methyl)-1 H -1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[ bThis suggests that three substances (1,8]naphthyridine) are very effective in inhibiting potato Y virus.

[0073] The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that other specific forms can be easily modified without altering the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
