A technique based on the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been developed to detect the presence of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) and prune dwarf virus (PDV) simultaneously in almond. This paper presents the results of a 3-year study comparing both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and RT-PCR for the detection of PNRSV and PDV using 175 almond leaf samples. Multiplex RT-PCR was found to be more sensitive than ELISA, especially when followed by nested PCR for the detection of PDV. The RT-PCR technique has the added advantage that plant material can be tested at any time throughout the growing season.
已开发出一种基于逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)的技术,用于同时检测杏仁中李坏死环斑病毒(PNRSV)和李矮缩病毒(PDV)的存在。本文介绍了一项为期3年的研究结果,该研究使用175份杏仁叶样本,比较了酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和RT-PCR检测PNRSV和PDV的效果。发现多重RT-PCR比ELISA更灵敏,尤其是在随后进行巢式PCR检测PDV时。RT-PCR技术还有一个额外的优点,即可以在整个生长季节的任何时间对植物材料进行检测。
