cDNA clones of potato virus X (PVXcp strain), potato virus Y (PVYo strain), potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) and potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) were used separately or combined for the detection of the corresponding RNAs in extracts of infected plants. A general method for the rapid preparation of RNA extracts without use of organic solvents (i.e. phenol) was developed for this purpose. Plant extracts from a range of field, artificially inoculated germplasm genotypes, micro-propagated and protoplast samples, as well as vector insect extracts, were dot-blotted onto nylon or nitrocellulose membranes, subjected to sandwich nucleic acid hybridization with non-labelled specific single-stranded DNA probes followed by a biotin-labelled second step hybridization probe. Each probe was virus-specific but not strain-specific. Healthy or non-related plant extracts developed very faint or no signals. Sensitivity was tested by slot-blot hybridization. Detection levels were between 1.5 to 6 pg of viral nucleic acids and between 20 to 50 times more sensitive than standard double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA). The assay developed was tested with material that was prepared for processing in the field (combination of fresh sap with extraction solution) and tested under simple laboratory conditions for detection. It was also successfully employed for screening of germplasm for virus resistance, detection of pathogens in vector insects, plantlets grown in vitro and in more sophisticated quantitative determinations of viral replication in artificially inoculated plants and protoplasts.

D008722 Methods A series of steps taken in order to conduct research. Techniques,Methodological Studies,Methodological Study,Procedures,Studies, Methodological,Study, Methodological,Method,Procedure,Technique
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.
