Sensitive Detection and Characterization of Viroid, Virus, and Virus-like Agents of Avocado
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the last 5 years our laboratory has refined the RT-PCR test for ASBVd detection in avocado and succeeded in having this test approved for registration of foundation stock trees by CDFA (Mathews et al., 1997). Several other researchers as well as many growers have had their plants tested by our laboratory which has helped to prevent the distribution of infected sources of plant material as well as allowing confident release of ASBVd negative material. In addition to studying ASBVd and potential sources of the viroid which pose a threat to the industry, we also continue to try and identify other viral or viral-like diseases of avocado which may lead to the ultimate improvement of the crop.

The endonuclease dicer cleaves RNAs that are 100% double stranded and certain RNAs with extensive but <100% pairing to release approximately 21-nucleotide (nt) fragments. Circular 1,679-nt genomic and antigenomic RNAs of human hepatitis delta virus (HDV) can fold into a rod-like structure with 74% pairing. However, during HDV replication in hepatocytes of human, woodchuck, and mouse origin, no ...
متن کاملDetection of Infectious Bronchitis Virus in Allantioc Fluid by Rapid Hemagglutination Test.
To detect the presence of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in infected allantoic fluid (AF) of SPF embryonated eggs rapid hemagglutination (HA) activity after treatment with neuraminidase enzyme was used. Twenty IBV suspected materials were inoculated in SPF embryonated eggs via chorioallantoic cavity. Harvested AFs were treated with neuraminidase enzyme and the presence of IBV was detected by...
