By far the best and most comprehensive recent work on the Potyviruses
is:

Shukla, D.D. Ward, C.W. and Brunt, A.A. (1995). The
Potyviridae. Wallingford, UK: CAB International. 516pp.

For a more general introduction to Plant Viruses, try:
Matthews, R.E.F. (1991). Plant Virology, 3rd edition. New York etc:
Academic Press.

or the shorter version:
Matthews, R.E.F. (1992). Fundamentals of Plant Virology. New York etc:
Academic Press. 403pp.
