Net necrosis of potato is the result of infection by potato leaf roll virus (PLRV). This symptom is caused by the selective death and damage to cells in the vascular tissues of the tuber. The fact that only specific cells within the tuber are affected by this problem while others remain normal causes the characteristic net symptom.

Scientists remain uncertain about the existence and degree of pain in invertebrates, including insects.However, a recent review of the neurobiological and behavioral evidence consistent with the hypothesis of pain found strong evidence consistent with precautionary treatment in at least two orders of insects at the adult life stage (Blattodea and Diptera), ultimately considering evidence from ...
PVY infection of potato plants results in a variety of symptoms depending on the viral strain. The mildest of these symptoms is production loss, but the most detrimental is 'potato tuber necrotic ringspot disease' (PTNRD). Necrotic ringspots render potatoes unmarketable and can therefore result in a significant loss of income.
