AmplifyRP Acceler8 for LChV2 is a rapid RNA amplification and detection platform designed for field-based or laboratory testing of cherry crops for Little cherry virus 2. <\/p>\n
Little cherry virus 2 (LChV2) is the causal agent of little cherry disease in sweet cherry and is found in North America and other parts of the world (Mekuria et al, 2014). The pathogen is a mealybug-transmitted virus and does not induce significant foliar symptoms in most sweet cherry cultivars, but does cause virus-infected trees to yield unevenly ripened small fruits with poor flavor (Mekuria et al, 2014). <\/p>\n
AmplifyRP Acceler8 enables users to rapidly amplify and test for LChV2 RNA at a single operating temperature using only a crude sample extract. Amplified product is then tested in an Amplicon Detection Chamber where clear “yes \/ no” results are read visually on a lateral flow strip (much like a pregnancy test). The entire testing process can be completed in as little as 30 minutes by users of any skill level. <\/p>\n
Notably, this test has demonstrated equivalent or, in some instances, better sensitivity than a currently used RT-PCR method (Mekuria et al, 2014) when testing samples from symptomatic trees. <\/p>\n
AmplifyRP Acceler8 for LChV2 has been validated against multiple isolates collected throughout Washington State growing regions. It does not cross-react with other distinct pathogens known to cause symptoms of little cherry disease such as Little cherry virus 1 and Western X Phytoplasma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
