Abstract
The paper contains the literature review of the family Potyviridae demonstrating the current state of the problem on classification of the most numerous taxonomic family among the phytopathogenic viruses. The data accumulated by the nineties allowed to transform the group of potyviruses into the family Potyviridae consisting of 4 genera bymo‐, rymo‐, ipomo‐ and potyviruses. The main phenotypic features and molecular parameters of separation of this family are given. The paper presents data of the authors on biological, physico‐chemical and antigenic characteristics of 10 viruses identified in the south of the Russian Far East and referred to the genus of potyviruses. Among them are three new, previously not described viruses in the literature: Tradescantia albiflora virus, Hippeastrum mosaic virus and Trifolium montanwn virus.
