Incidence of Raspberry Bushy Dwarf Virus in Breeding Plots of Red Raspberry

Single-step immunocapture RT-PCR in the detection of raspberry bushy dwarf virus.

An immunocapture reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) method for a highly sensitive analysis of raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) in infected plants is described. In the method, preliminary purification of virus particles or viral RNA from the plant material is not necessary. Viruses are enriched during the assay by antibodies bound in the PCR microplate wells, followed ...

The nucleotide sequence of RNA-1 of raspberry bushy dwarf virus.

Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) has isometric, 33 nm diameter particles and a bipartite RNA genome. Sequencing of the larger component (RNA-1) showed that it consists of 5449 nucleotides and contains one large open reading frame encoding a putative translation product with a calculated M(r) of 190,000. Comparisons of this polypeptide with non-structural proteins of other plant viruses reveal...

Real-time RT-PCR for detection of Raspberry bushy dwarf virus, Raspberry leaf mottle virus and characterizing synergistic interactions in mixed infections.

Two TaqMan-based real-time One-Step RT-PCR assays were developed for the rapid and efficient detection of Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) and Raspberry leaf mottle virus (RLMV), two of the most common raspberry viruses in North America and Europe. The primers and probes were designed from conserved fragments of the polymerase region of each virus and were effective for the detection of diffe...

Antioxidant Capacity and Anticancer Properties of Red Raspberry

13 This study suggests that the phytochemicals in raspberries have significant antioxidant and anticancer activity. Darker raspberries show greater antioxidant activity than lighter ones but not significantly greater anticancer activity. Clearly other as yet unknown compounds are also involved. A bundant evidence suggests that regular consumption of fruits and vegetables reduces the risks of ch...
