THE STUDY OF THE BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF POTATO VIRUS X IN COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF UZBEKISTAN
Abstract. In recent years, PVX has been widely spread in Uzbekistan's climatic conditions, causing symptoms of the disease, like spotty mosaic and curling of potato leaves. The appearance of signs of this viral disease depending on environmental factors, especially temperature, contributes to the fact that it begins to meet in a latent state at a high temperature in the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan, remaining in the nodules of potatoes, causes a decrease in yields every year to 10-59%. Therefore, the extent of the spread of this virus in the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan, natural reserve reservoirs, have been studied by the highly sensitive ELISA method. Based on studies conducted in this direction it was found that the extent of the spread of this virus was initially 16.65%, and in subsequent studies it increased to 24.06%. At the same time, in the climatic conditions, reserve plants such as Solanum nigrum L., Rumex crispus L., Datura stramonium L., Solanum melongena L., Convolvulus arvensis L., Althaea officinalis L., Malva neglesta Wall were first established by the ELISA method.
Keywords: PVX, enzyme linked immunosorbent essays (ELISA), plant reservations, Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

To determine the viruses, the organs of plants (leaves, stem, root) with the primary signs of the disease were separately packed into polyethylene bags and with the addition of phosphate buffer (composition for 1 liter of NaCl, KH2PO4, Na2HPO4, KCl, NaN3, pH-7.4) and a homogenate was prepared. Then, viral AT (igG) was immobilized in polystyrene plates at 37 °C for 3-4 hours or at room temperature for 5-6 hours, excess of AT (20 drops (0.5 ml) were added to 1 liter of the prepared phosphate buffer) Tween PBS-T) is washed off with Tween phosphate buffer, homogenate is added from the organs of the plant under study (AG) and stored for 3-4 hours in a
As a result of preliminary studies of samples obtained in Kibray district, the level of PVX distribution in the area was maximum 5%, and secondly, two years after repeated studies, it was found that the level ofvirus spread increased from 5 to 90%.
As a result of studies, conducted by the Parkent district, at first, the spread of the virus in this area was 5-20%; as a result of repeated studies, the virus was not detected.

After a certain time, the vegetable juice is washed using a specially designed for washing Tween phosphate buffer and after the conjugate is placed in the microplate of the poly styrene plates, the latter are placed polyethylene bags and stored for 3-4 hours at 37 °C or can be left for 5-6 hours at room temperature 25 °C). The excess conjugate (IgG + enzyme) is washed with Tween Phosphate Buffer (RVS-T) and 50 ^l substrate (diethanoamine, 37% HCl), distilled water and substrate tablet (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) are poured into each well of polystyrene plates. When viruses are present in the plants under investigation for 30-60 min, they are detected by a change in the color of the reaction, and the results are taken into account.
3. Results аnd discussion
For investigation of PVX distribution level in Tashkent region samples (leaves) of potato plant were separately collected from Kibray, Parkent, Tashkent and Zangiota districts, for four in one district, from 15 village communities, checked by ELISA method in laboratory condition and obtained results given in the table (1 table).
In Tashkent district, in a preliminary check, the spread of the virus was 5-50%, after two years after repeated studies it was revealed that the level ofspread ofthe virus decreased by 5-15%.
In the Zangi-Ota area, in both studies, it can be observed that the spread of the virus has not changed much; detailed information about this is given in the table (1-table). Based on the obtained results, the average level of virus spread in

the regions of the region was revealed and given in the form of a histogram (figure). The figure shows that in the Kibray region of the region, compared with the results of preliminary studies in subsequent studies, the spread of the virus increased dramatically, i.e. increased by 50%. According to a number of researchers who conducted research in this direction, the cultivation of potato-infected tubers for many years led to the wide spread of the virus in one field. The same situation is observed in this area, i.e. the re-cultivation ofvarieties such as
ditta and desire for three years (table 1) led to the large-scale spread of the virus in these farms. In Parkent and Tashkent, areas where a decrease in the spread of the virus was observed, phytosanitary measures were carried out in a timely manner in potato fields and potato seeds were annually updated (figure). In the total area studied (31.7%) of Tashkent region, 50.4% of the field (16.1 ha) were sown with the local variety Tuyimli, and foreign varieties such as Ditta, Desiree and Ramona were grown for the remaining 40.6%.
Fifure 1. The prevalence of PVX in areas of Tashkent region
Natural reserves play an important role in the spread of viruses. A number of wild and cultivated plants can be attributed to natural reserves of phytoviruses and these plants occupy an important place in the spread of viruses [6; 9]. Therefore, in
the following studies, the fields of rural farms with a high level of distribution and 27 species of wild and cultivated plants in the vicinity of these fields were studied using the ELISA method and the results are shown in the table (table 2).

As can be seen from the table, the X virus can exist in addition to potatoes in plants such as Cucumis sativus L., Solanum nigrum L., Rumex crispus L., Datura stramonium L., Solanum melongena L., Petunia hybrida, Convolvulus arvensis Althaea officinalis L., Lycopersicum esculentum Mill., Malva neglesta Wall and these plants have a very high virus content (3+ and 4+). In addition, the virus can multiply in plants such as Solanum nigrum L, Ch. amaranticolor, Brassicajuncea Czern., Mentha asiatica Boriss, but in small quantities. In Cynodon dastylon (L.) Pers., Xanthium strumarium L., Sorghum halepense L., Capsicum annuum L., Ocimum basilicum L., Artemisia vulgaris L. In Artemisia vulgaris L., the virus was not detected (Table 2).
Based on the above data, under the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan, PVX infects single and perennial plants of the families Solanaceae, Malvaceous (Malvaceae), cruciferous (Cruciferae), amaranth (Amaranthaceae), complex flowers (Compositae) and accumulates in large quantities. This means that these plants undoubtedly serve as PVX reserve plants.
In general, potato viral diseases have been studied since 1916 in England, Holland, USA, Germany, Russia, Estonia by such scientists as Quiner, Boties, Schulz, Folsom, Cassanis, Martin, Yora, Morel and Ambros [4; 2; 3; 8], but studies conducted in the conditions of Uzbekistan were carried out only at the level of the plant-indicator, by the drop method and on the sensitivity of the ABC test (0.2 ^g / ml). Many reserve plants and a small amount of viruses in potato varieties remained outside the sensitivity level of the method. In this work, highly specific titrated antiserum was used [3], the sensitivity level of which is 0.01-1 ng and prepared only for this virus.
Many plants are asymptomatic and analyzed for the first time. For example, the plants first analyzed are Cucumis sativus

L., Rumex crispus L., Brassica juncea (L.) Czern., Althaea officinalis L., Malva neglesta Wall and their PVX content is high. It means, undoubtedly, these plants are introduced into a number of plants-reservers for PVX for the first time in phytoviru-sology in the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan.
On the basis of the identification of these plant-reserve plants, the regularity of the PVX-Uz cycle in nature and the type of "natural focus" were revealed. According to the theory of E. N. Pavlovsky on "Natural foci of vector-borne diseases" [22] the natural focal type of this virus belongs to the second type, i.e. to the type of "naturally focal diseases with a stable circulation within cultivated plants." Despite the existence of a number of plants that reserve the virus in nature, they are transmitted through nodules from generation to generation and there remains a strong link between the pathogen (virus) and the cultivated plant (potato).
4. Conclusions
Thus, in the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan, the presence of a number of natural plant-reserving agents, such as Cucumis sativus L., Rumex crispus L., Brassica juncea Czern., Althaea officinalis L., Malva neglesta Wall, D. stramonium L., D. metel L and with the fact that the virus belonged to natural foci, it was found that they belong to the type of "natural circulation within cultivated plants".
At the same time, the distribution of PXV in the Tashkent region was studied by ELISA, one of the most sensitive methods. According to the results of the study, the spread of the virus in the Kibray district of the Tashkent region increased to 50% compared with initial surveys, while in the Parkent region there was a noticeable decrease in the number of viruses.
