Development of RT-PCR based method for detection of potato virus Y in tobacco and potato
نویسنده
چکیده
A reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) based protocol with a pair of potato virus Y coat protein gene specific primers was found to be more sensitive method for the PVY detection in infected tobacco leaf and potato tuber tissues than conventional enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or nucleic acid spot hybridization (NASH) based methods. It was found in our studies that by RT-PCR, the presence of the virus could be detected in potato tubers of two field samples, which could not be detected by NASH or ELISA.

Induction of Resistance to Potato Virus Y (PVY) Using Hairpin Construct of Coat Protein
Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most damaging viruses of potato plants which infecting most cultivars and causing significant yield and economical losses. The application of the concept of pathogen derived resistance opened new horizons for the development of virus-resistant plants. This research was carried out to study RNA silencing to engineered potato plants that are resistant to potato ...
متن کاملInvestigation on the reaction of Iranian oriental and semi oriental tobacco genotypes to Potato Virus Y (PVY) under controlled conditions
Potato virus Y (PVY) as one of the serious diseases on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), reduces leaf yield and its quality. Use of re-sistant genotypes is being considered as the most effective, economical and a safe way to reduce damages of the virus. In the present study, the response of 90 oriental and semi-oriental tobacco genotypes was evaluated against PVY using randomized complete block d...

Background: The advent of recombinant DNA technology has facilitated heterologous expression of proteins from various sources in different host systems including Escherichia coli. If a plant virus coat protein is expressed in the bacterium it can be used as the antigen for antibody preparation. Such a recombinant antigen preparation can be particularly useful where equipment such as ultracentri...

Background: Potyviruses are accounted for 40% of viral diseases of various crops including vegetables and legumes. Potyviruses can be transmitted through plant sap, seeds and many aphid species. Due to ease of spread of these viruses detection of such viruses are crucial as to the control of the incited diseases. Objectives: This study compared the efficiencies of two couples of primers in the...
