RT-PCR-ELOSA tests on pooled sample units for the detection of virus Y in potato tubers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A highly sensitive RT-PCR protocol able to detect potato virus Y (PVY) in pooled sample units (tubers) was developed. PVY-specific primers selected in the coat protein gene were found to amplify a 359 bp fragment from diluted crude extract of infected tubers. For the detection of the amplification products, a colorimetric detection procedure in microtiter plates was established. The amplicons are hybridized between a covalently linked capture probe and a specific biotinylated detection probe ELOSA tests. This detection method detects at least 50 pg of virus per reaction for the four cultivars tested. The RT-PCR-ELOSA assay was adapted to pooled units in order to increase the sample size while reducing the number of tests.

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 tha...

A Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) technique was applied for the detection of Potato leaf roll polerovirus (PLRV) in dormant potato tubers. A primer pair was designed from the coat protein-encoding fragment of the PLRV genome that amplified a 336-bp product. The amplified product was detected in nucleic acid preparations from leaves and tubers of 5 cultivars and from pur...

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...
