Detection of Tobacco mosaic virus and Tomato mosaic virus in pepper and tomato by multiplex RT-PCR

Detection of Tobacco mosaic virus and Tomato mosaic virus in pepper and tomato by multiplex RT-PCR.

AIMS To develop a highly sensitive and rapid protocol for simultaneous detection and differentiation of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) in pepper and tomato. In this study, we use the multiplex PCR technique to detect dual infection of these two viruses. METHODS AND RESULTS A multiplex RT-PCR method consisting of one-tube reaction with two primer pairs targeted to re...

Multiplex Rt-pcr Reaction for Simultaneous Detection of Tomato Torrado Virus and Pepino Mosaic Virus Co-infecting Solanum Lycopersicum

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is cultivated all over the world and is a vegetable of significant economic importance. However, an increased production of the vegetable is directly connected with an elevated occurrence of pathogens limiting the production efficiency of the vegetable. Both, Tomato torrado virus and Pepino mosaic virus have been found to be serious disease factors. When not...

Assembly and Aggregation of Tobacco Mosaic Virus in Tomato Leaflets

Cells of tomato leaflets (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) were studied by phase and electron microscopy at various intervals after inoculation with a common strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Forty-eight hours after inoculation, prior to the development of assayable virus, individual TMV particles, and also particle aggregates, were observed in the ground cytoplasm of mesophyll cells. The mos...

Simultaneous detection of wheat dwarf virus, northern cereal mosaic virus, barley yellow striate mosaic virus and rice black-streaked dwarf virus in wheat by multiplex RT-PCR.

Wheat dwarf virus (WDV), barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV), rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) and northern cereal mosaic virus (NCMV) are four viruses infecting wheat and causing similar symptoms. In this paper, a multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (m-RT-PCR) method has been developed for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of these viruses. The p...
