Abstract: | Summary A simple assay for detection of tobacco rattle virus in infected tubers involving RT-PCR was developed. The assay detected a wide range of strains, including nonparticle NM variants. RNA extraction methods were compared, and a simple method was found to give reliable results. The method enabled detection of at least 1 ng of tobacco rattle particles in 100 mg tuber extract. |
