title: Potyvirus taxonomy: potyviruses that affect solanaceous crops.
abstract: Serology has been the main, or at least an important, tool for differentiating potyviruses that affect solanaceous crops. At present, analysis of the genome by hybridization techniques has supported the differentiation of viruses demonstrated by serology. Phylogenetic groupings, based on nucleic acid sequences, should be combined with serological detection to make the groupings more usable.
