The vegetative propagation of strawberries favors transmission of systemic pathogens, such as viruses, which are one of the main yield-limiting factors for this crop. More than 20 viruses have been described as infecting this species; one of the most frequent is the Strawberry mottle virus (SMoV), which is responsible for significant economic losses. SMoV is usually detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), given that serum is not available for serological tests. In this study, a non-radioactive molecular probe was developed for SMoV detection. The cDNA was synthesized by RT-PCR using specific primers designed from the 3’UTR region of the viral genome. The cloned cDNA segment was labeled and used as a probe. Six RNA... |
