Leveraging chlorophyll fluorescence uncovers potato virus Y resistance in potato and its validation through viral quantification and yield loss studies.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
key messageChlorophyll fluorescence (CF) measurements have been demonstrated to be an efficient and non-invasive tool for identifying and developing PVY-resistant potato cultivars. The validity of CF measurements was confirmed through viral titer and yield-loss assays. In the quest to identify resistant sources for potato virus Y (PVY) within Indian potato germplasm, we developed a phenotyping approach leveraging plant physiological responses against PVY infection. The study evaluated 71 potato genotypes including cultivated and experimental clones, during the year 2021-2022 and 2022-23 through mechanical inoculation in experimental fields at the Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. We employed a combination of serological and molecular screening, complemented with chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) measurements to classify resistant and susceptible genotypes. Out of 71 genotypes, 34 exhibited PVY resistance, with KP-16-19-14 being the highly resistant line with minimal yield loss (i.e., only 1.64% reduction) and undetectable viral titer. This genotype holds promise as a valuable resistance source for future breeding programmes. Our findings revealed that resistant genotypes maintained stable CF metrics and experienced minimal yield reductions (up to 5.15% only), with very low viral titer. In contrast, the photosynthetic efficiency was significantly declined in susceptible genotypes, which also experienced yield losses up to 58.84% with very high viral titer. Correlation coefficient and principal component analysis (PCA) revealed a strong association among the CF parameters, disease severity, viral titer, and yield losses. This emphasizes the utility of CF as a valuable tool for assessing resistance through physiological responses to PVY. Study demonstrates that photochemistry, heat dissipation, and fluorescence emission patterns of PS-II effectively differentiate resistant and susceptible genotypes. Moreover, this study highlights the potential of integrating physiological assessments with molecular diagnostics in large-scale preliminary screening to identify and develop PVY-resistant potato genotypes.
