One Step RT-PCR Method for Quick and Reliable Detection of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) in Mid-Hills of Meghalaya

An asymmetric PCR-ELISA typing assay for Citrus tristeza virus (CTV)

Typing of CTV based on coat protein (CP) gene has been approached in diverse ways. The basis for the assay focused on in this paper was presented some years ago and has been subject to several improvements since its appearance. Although the results obtained with this assay have been presented in diverse scientiic meetings, theses and technical seminars, so far no paper has explained the rationa...

Development of a Multiplex RT-PCR Assay for Detection of the Causal Agents of Citrus Tristeza and Cachexia Diseases with Coamplification of Plant mRNA as an Internal Control

Background and Aims: Plant certification programs need reliable, fast, cheap and sensitive methods for detection of systemic pathogens with special interest in virus and viroid detection. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been documented as an alternative assay for certification of plant propagating materials. The main object of the present study was the optimization ...

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) Causing Proteomic and Enzymatic Changes in Sweet Orange Variety “Westin”

Citrus Tristeza disease, caused by CTV (Citrus tristeza virus), committs citrus plantations around the world and specifically attacks phloem tissues of the plant. The virus exists as a mixture of more or less severe variants, which may or may not cause symptoms of Tristeza. The objective of this study was to analyze the changes caused by CTV in the proteome of stems of sweet orange, as well as ...

Rapid detection and differentiation of Newcastle disease virus isolates by a triple one-step RT-PCR.

A triple one-step RT-PCR was developed to screen and differentiate virulent from avirulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates. Three sets of oligonucleotides were designed, each specific for amplifying NDV fusion protein gene-specific RNA from virulent, avirulent or all isolates respectively. The sensitivity of one-step RT-PCR was determined using viral RNA extracted from serially diluted N...
