Abstract
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV), a member of the genus Tobamovirus, is an important quarantine plant virus worldwide, and often causes seriously damages to productions of watermelon, melon, cucumber and other cucurbit crops. In this study, we developed a novel isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technique for detection of CGMMV in watermelon samples. A pair of CGMMV specific RPA primers was prepared based on the conserved CGMMV coat protein gene sequences. The result showed that this RPA detection method can be performed at 38 °C and completed in about 30 min, and there was no cross-reactivity with other common cucurbit viruses. Sensitivity assay showed that this RPA method was more sensitive compared with the regular RT-PCR. Using field-collected watermelon tissue samples, we have demonstrated that this newly developed method is rapid, easy to use and reliable for CGMMV detection, especially in resource-limited laboratories or on-site facilities.

Abstract
Little cherry virus 1 (LChV-1) belongs to the genus Velarivirus, family Closteroviridae, is an economically important pathogen affecting mainly cherry around the world emphasizing the impetus for its efficient and accurate on-site detection. This study describes the development of a reliable diagnostic protocol of LChV-1 based on a one-step reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). The protocol detects LChV-1 isolates in less than 10 min by fluorescence monitoring using a mobile detection device and is most optimal when performed at 67 °C. Sharp melting curves and unique melting temperatures (Tm) were obtained for the positive samples. Both the RT-LAMP and classical RT-PCR methods are capable of specifically detecting LChV-1 in infected leaf tissues. In addition, the RT-LAMP has remarkable advantages in comparison to RT-PCR. It is at least hundred fold more sensitive, significantly faster (allowing on-field leaf-to-result diagnostic) and efficient at minimal cost. In conclusion, this innovative RT-LAMP approach can contribute to the implementation of sustainable integrated management strategies for detection of LChV-1 in commercial orchards or for horticultural research stations. It is also suitable for decision support in phytosanitary epidemiological programs.

Abstract
Efficient recovery of high quality RNA is very important for successful RT-PCR detection of plant RNA viruses. High levels of polyphenols and polysaccharides in plant tissues can irreversibly bind to and/or co-precipitate with RNA, which influences RNA isolation. In this study, a silica spin column-based RNA isolation method was developed by using commercially available silica columns combined with the application of a tissue lysis solution, and binding and washing buffers with high concentration guanidinium thiocyanate (GuSCN, 50% w/v), which helps remove plant proteins, polysaccharides and polyphenolic compounds. The method was successfully used to extract high quality RNA from citrus (Citrus aurantifolia), grapevine (Vitis vinifera), peach (Prunus persica), pear (Pyrus spp.), taro (Colocosia esculenta) and tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) samples. The method was comparable to conventional CTAB method in RNA isolation efficiency, but it was more sample-adaptable and cost-effective than commercial kits. High quality RNA isolated using silica spin column-based method was successfully used for the RT-PCR and/or multiplex RT-PCR amplification of woody fruit tree viruses and a viroid. The study provided a useful tool for the detection and characterization of plant viruses.

Abstract
Little cherry virus 2 (LChV2) (genus Ampelovirus) is the primary causal agent of little cherry disease (LCD) in sweet cherry (Prunus avium) in North America and other parts of the world. This mealybug-transmitted virus 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. Most fruits from infected trees are unmarketable. In the present study, an isothermal reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) technique was developed using LChV2 coat protein specific primers and probe. Detection of terminally labeled amplicons was achieved with a high affinity lateral flow strip. The RT-RPA is confirmed to be simple, fast, and specific. In comparison, although it retains the sensitivity of RT-PCR, it is a more cost-effective procedure. RT-RPA will be a very useful tool for detecting LChV2 from crude extracts in any growth stage of sweet cherry from field samples.

Abstract
Members the Potyviridae family belong to a group of plant viruses that are causing devastating plant diseases with a significant impact on agronomy and economics. Plum pox virus (PPV), as a causative agent of sharka disease, is widely discussed. The understanding of the molecular biology of potyviruses including PPV and the function of individual proteins as products of genome expression are quite necessary for the proposal the new antiviral strategies. This review brings to view the members of Potyviridae family with respect to plum pox virus. The genome of potyviruses is discussed with respect to protein products of its expression and their function. Plum pox virus distribution, genome organization, transmission and biochemical changes in infected plants are introduced. In addition, techniques used in PPV detection are accentuated and discussed, especially with respect to new modern techniques of nucleic acids isolation, based on the nanotechnological approach. Finally, perspectives on the future of possibilities for nanotechnology application in PPV determination/identification are outlined.

Abstract
The efficiency of RNA extraction for Apricot latent virus (ApLV), Plum bark necrosis stem pitting associated virus (PBNSPaV), Prunus necrotic ring spot virus (PNRSV), Potato virus Y (PVY), and Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) from infected hosts is of great importance for molecular diagnosis by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A method is described for drying tissue to overcome phenolic inhibitors of viral RNA. This study showed that the infected host leaves, dried at 65 degrees C for 2 days and conserved at 4 degrees C in air proof conditions, serve as good sources for detection of viral and viroid pathogens by PCR methods. Preliminary results suggest that ApLV, PNRSV, PVY, and ASSVd were detected easily by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and PBNSPaV by nested-RT-PCR with high amplification yields. No significant difference was observed between ethidium bromide-stained band profiles of dried compared to fresh leaves of infected samples. The RNA derived from dry leaf samples was suitable for detection studies. This simple and inexpensive method has proved very effective for long term conservation of virus and viroid isolates.

Abstract
Transgenic clones C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and PT-6, of plum (Prunus domestica L.) transformed with the coat protein (CP) gene of Plum pox virus (PPV), PT-23 transformed with marker genes only, and nontransgenic B70146 were evaluated for sharka resistance under high infection pressure in field trials in Poland and Spain. These sites differed in climatic conditions and virus isolates. Transgenic clone C5 showed high resistance to PPV at both sites. None of the C5 trees became naturally infected by aphids during seven (Spain) or eight (Poland) years of the test, although up to 100% of other plum trees (transgenic clones and nontransgenic control plants) grown in the same conditions showed disease symptoms and tested positively for PPV. Although highly resistant, C5 trees could be infected artificially by chip budding or via susceptible rootstock. Infected C5 trees showed only a few mild symptoms on single, isolated shoots, even up to 8 years post inoculation. These results clearly indicate the long-term nature and high level of resistance to PPV obtained through genetically engineered resistance.

Abstract
Plum pox virus (PPV) is one of the most devastating diseases of Prunus species. Since few sources of resistance to PPV have been identified, transgene-based resistance offers a complementary approach to developing PPV-resistant stone fruit cultivars. C5, a transgenic clone of Prunus domestica L., containing the PPV coat protein (CP) gene, has been described as highly resistant to PPV in greenhouse tests, displaying characteristics typical of post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). We show in this report that C5 trees exposed to natural aphid vectors in the field remained uninfected after 4 years while susceptible transgenic and untransformed trees developed severe symptoms within the first year. C5 trees inoculated by chip budding showed only very mild symptoms and PPV could be detected in these trees by IC-RT-PCR. The PPV-CP transgene in C5 was specifically hyper-methylated with no detectable expression. These results indicate both stability and efficiency of PTGS-based PPV resistance in plum under field conditions.

Abstract
One of the major factors determining the incidence of Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) on autumn-sown cereals is the viruliferous state of immigrant winged aphids. This variable is assessed routinely using the enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). However, the threshold for virus detection by ELISA can lead to false negative results for aphids carrying less than 10(6) particles. Although molecular detection techniques enabling the detection of lower virus quantities in samples are available, the relatively laborious sample preparation and data analysis have restricted their use in routine applications. A gel-free real-time one-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) protocol is described for specific detection and quantitation of BYDV-PAV, the most widespread BYDV species in Western Europe. This new assay, based on TaqMan technology, detects and quantifies from 10(2) to 10(8) BYDV-PAV RNA copies. This test is 10 and 10(3) times more sensitive than the standard RT-PCR and ELISA assays published previously for BYDV-PAV detection and significantly improves virus detection in single aphids. Extraction of nucleic acids from aphids using either phenol/chloroform or chelatin resin-based protocols allow the use of pooled samples or of a small part (up to 1/1600th) of a single aphid extract for efficient BYDV-PAV detection.

Abstract
Yellow leaf syndrome (YLS) of sugarcane has been associated with Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (ScYLV) and has been reported from most sugarcane growing countries around the world. As sugarcane is vegetatively propagated, it is important to use effective and sensitive detection methods to screen new propagating material. Virus detection in symptomatic tissue is currently achieved using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA) or a conventional RT-PCR based assay. This paper reports the development of an improved assay based on multiplex real-time fluorescent RT-PCR. The new assay is 100-fold more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR, and incorporates a novel 'RNA specific' internal positive control (based around the intron of the caffeic acid 3-o-methyltransferase gene) to guard against false negative results. The paper also describes the comparison of eight RNA extraction methods for sugarcane tissue giving a number of alternatives for different laboratory situations. The sensitivity of this assay has allowed the detection of ScYLV in many samples that were thought to be healthy following conventional testing (RT-PCR, ELISA or TBIA). The detection of ScYLV using this TaqMan assay can be applied to the production of ScYLV-free plants and prevents its spread through the propagation material.

Abstract
Based on the hypothesis that bone cements cause changes in the production of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1) by bone cells, the effects of four acrylic bone cements (Sulfix-60, CMW 1, CMW 2 and CMW 3) were examined using the osteoblast-like cell line MG63. The extracts in MEM of the cements were tested, following 1 h- and 7 day-curing. MG63 cells seldom expressed mRNA specific for TGF-beta1 in basal conditions. The cultures expressed mRNA constantly after incubation with the extract of CMW 1 cured for 1 h. TGF-beta1 specific mRNA was seldom expressed after incubation with the other cement extracts. The release of TGF-beta1 into the conditioned medium was increased significantly by CMW 1 extract at 1 h-curing, but was not changed significantly by CMW 1 extract at 7 day-curing and by the extracts of the other cements, at both curing times. The stimulating effect of CMW 1 on the secretion of TGF-beta1, even with all the restrictions of an in vitro study of continuous cell lines, if confirmed in vivo, might favor the development of the synovial-like membrane around the implant, and therefore impair the chance of success of the prosthesis.

Phenolic compounds from plant tissues inhibit reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Multiple-step protocols using several additives to inhibit polyphenolic compounds during nucleic acid extraction are common, but time consuming and laborious. The current research highlights that the inclusion of 0.65 to 0.70% of sodium sulphite in the extraction buffer minimizes the pigmentation of nucleic acid extracts and improves the RT-PCR detection of Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) in potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers and Prune dwarf virus (PDV) and Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) in leaves and bark in the sweet cherry (Prunus avium) tree. Substituting sodium sulphite in the nucleic acid extraction buffer eliminated the use of proteinase K during extraction. Reagents phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-Tween 20 and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were also no longer required during RT or PCR phase. The resultant nucleic acid extracts were suitable for both duplex and multiplex RT-PCR. This simple and less expensive nucleic acid extraction protocol has proved very effective for potato cv. Russet Norkotah, which contains a high amount of polyphenolics. Comparing commercially available RNA extraction kits (Catrimox and RNeasy), the sodium sulphite based extraction protocol yielded two to three times higher amounts of RNA, while maintaining comparable virus detection by RT-PCR. The sodium sulphite based extraction protocol was equally effective in potato tubers, and in leaves and bark from the cherry tree.

Abstract
Polyphenolics are a widely distributed class of plant constituents implicated in the inhibition of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Since chlorogenic acid forms the bulk of phenolics in the potato tuber, a range of chlorogenic acid concentrations were tested for inhibition of reverse transcription (RT) and PCR steps. The RT step was inhibited at chlorogenic acid concentrations of 6.0 to 7.5 microg, while the PCR step was inhibited at much lower concentrations of 1.2 to 1.8 microg. Incorporation of 1.2% citric acid at the nucleic acid extraction step prevented darkening of the extract and neutralized the inhibitory effect of chlorogenic acid.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Plum pox potyvirus (PPV) isolates may be divided into four groups separated by serological, molecular, and epidemiological differences. Monoclonal antibodies specific for the two major groups of isolates, represented by the D and M serotypes of the virus, have been obtained. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays allowing the direct detection and differentiation of PPV isolates have also been developed. We now report on a large-scale comparison of these two typing approaches. The results obtained show an overall excellent correlation between the results obtained in indirect double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using PPV-D- and PPV-M-specific monoclonal antibodies and those derived from either specific PCR assays or restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR fragments. Without exception, all isolates reacting positively with the PPV-M-specific monoclonal antibody were found to belong to the M serotype using the PCR-based assays, while 51 out of 53 isolates recognized by the D-specific monoclonal antibodies belonged to the D serotype according to the PCR typing results. However, failure to react with a specific monoclonal antibody did not prove as effective a predictor of the serotype of the isolate analyzed. In a few cases, the results obtained with the various techniques diverged, indicating low level variability of the epitopes recognized by the serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies. Isolates belonging to the two minor groups of PPV (El Amar and Cherry) also gave divergent results, indicating that the current typing assays are not suited for the analysis of such isolates.

Abstract
The potato tuber ringspot necrosis isolate of potato virus Y (PVY(NTN)) is a recently recognized and highly aggressive isolate of the PVY(N) group of strains. In order to screen specifically sources of resistance to PVY(NTN) a method to separate PVY(NTN) from PVY(N) is needed. To achieve this, 61 isolates from 13 imported and locally developed potato cultivars in Slovenia were studied. On the basis of the reactions in indicator plants Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun and Solanum brachycarpum and with a PVY(N) specific monoclonal antibody (4E7), all Slovenian isolates (Sl-NTN) were identified as PVY(N). Using two primer pairs from the P1 gene of a Hungarian isolate of PVY(NTN) by a conventional single primer pair, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) both PVY(NTN) and PVY(N) were amplified similarly. However, specific amplification of PVY(NTN) was achieved by a nested-PCR at an annealing temperature of 63 degrees C. A simplified form of the nested-PCR, termed 3-primer PCR was developed, which is applicable for large-scale testing of samples. Using the 3-primer PCR at annealing temperature of 63 degrees C, known mixtures of PVY(NTN) and PVY(N) were correctly separated. PVY(NTN) was detected in dormant tubers and leaves from all Sl-NTN isolates. The 3-primer PCR was specific to PVY(NTN) and did not react with nine isolates of PVY(N), 13 isolates of PVY(o), one isolate of PVY(C), six commonly occurring potato viruses and a viroid.

Abstract
Detection of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV)-PAV-IL by an improved nucleic acid hybridization technique, using a nonradioactive probe with chromogenic and chemiluminescent substrates, was compared with detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) with polyclonal antibodies, and triple antibody sandwich ELISA with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Each method was used to detect purified virus and virus in sap extracts from infected oat leaves. The detection limits for both ELISA procedures were 1 ng of purified BYDV-PAV-IL and the equivalent of 78 ng of infected tissue. Nucleic acid hybridization with either chemiluminescent or chromogenic substrates also detected as little as 1 ng of purified BYDV-PAV-IL, but it was slightly more sensitive at detecting virus in tissue extracts (25 ng of infected tissue). The most sensitive detection technique was PCR amplification, which could detect as little as 0.1 pg of RNA extracted from purified virus and detected viral RNA in the equivalent of 0.5 pg of infected leaf tissue.

Abstract
Transgenic plum trees (Prunus domestica) containing the plum pox potyvirus coat protein (PPV-CP) gene were inoculated with PPV by aphid feeding or chip budding. Infection was monitored by evaluation of virus symptoms, DAS-ELISA, and immunoblot assays. Based on observations and analyses over 3 years including two dormancy cycles, one out of five transgenic clones (C-5), was found to be resistant to infection whether inoculated by aphids or by chip budding. PPV could not be detected in any inoculated plants of the C-5 clone by immunoblot or immunocap-ture-reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assays. To our knowledge, this is the first P. domestica clone resistant to PPV infection produced by genetic engineering.

Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can reliably detect citrus tristeza virus (CTV) in samples collected during approximately 6 months of a typical year. Two reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods (total nucleic acid extract and immunocapture based) were evaluated and compared to ELISA in order to develop a more sensitive assay for CTV. From May 1994 to October 1995, 6 sweet orange trees infected with CTV from each of 2 geographic areas (Riverside and the San Joaquin Valley) were tested monthly by each method. In the months of August (San Joaquin Valley samples) and September (Riverside and San Joaquin Valley samples) several of the trees had a significant loss of virus titer such that CTV was not reliably detected by ELISA. By contrast, the 2 PCR methods gave definitive positive results for CTV in samples collected during these months. Different tissue types were analyzed by each of the above assays. Petioles and midribs, both phloem-rich tissues, were each satisfactory for ELISA, while distal leaf tips did not always produce a positive result. All tissue types were equally efficient in producing a positive result in both PCR-based assays. The results of this study provide a basis for CTV testing by PCR in months when virus titer drops to a level generally unacceptable for using ELISA.

Abstract
An efficient procedure for the extraction of high-quality RNA from woody plants without the use of phenol, organic solvents, or alcohol precipitation is described. The method employs commercially available spin-column matrices and mitigates the inhibitory effects of plant polysaccharides and polyphenolic compounds commonly observed on subsequent polymerase chain reaction amplification when conventional extraction methods are applied to woody plant species. The method described has been successfully used in the development of highly sensitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques for the detection of a number of viruses in their woody hosts. The viruses detected included apple stem grooving capillovirus (ASGV), apple stem pitting virus, Prunus necrotic ringspot ilarvirus (PNRSV), grapevine fanleaf and Arabis mosaic nepoviruses, and grapevine leafroll-associated closterovirus type 3. The method described was equally effective for the extraction of viral RNA from either budwood, leaves, or flower blossoms as determined by the equivalent RT-PCR detection of ASGV and PNRSV from these tissues. Detection of viral RNA in samples of total plant RNA prepared using this method was found to be as sensitive as was previously described for the immunocapture RT-PCR technique.

Abstract
A reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) protocol was developed using two 20-mer primers located in nuclear inclusion genes NIa and NIb of potato virus Y (PVY). A 1017 bp PCR-product was detected in dormant potato tubers, infected with PVY(O), but not in tubers from healthy plants. The PCR product was specific to PVY, as determined by Southern blot detection by hybridization with a PVY(O)-specific probe. As little as 1 pg of purified PVY(O)-RNA can be detected after RT-PCR amplification. The presence of phenolics or polysaccharides in tuber nucleic acids inhibited PVY(O) amplification, which was eliminated by diluting nucleic acid preparations prior to cDNA synthesis, modifying the nucleic acid extraction procedure by isopropanol precipitation and using phosphate-buffered saline-Tween in the cDNA mix. Potato cultivars differed in PVY(O) concentration in tubers as much as 128-fold. Tuber parts used for nucleic acid extractions were important in potato cultivars with low virus titres and did not result in reduced detection of PVY(O) by both nucleic acid spot hybridization and RT-PCR, but RT-PCR band intensity was lower at longer storage periods. The primer pair developed in this study exhibited broad specificities with field isolates from Peru, Scotland and North America.

Abstract
A diagnostic test based on reverse transcription followed by the polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was developed for the detection of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV). A specific 500-base-pair fragment was amplified from the read-through region of the coat protein gene located on RNA-2. The viral origin of the amplified product was confirmed by sequencing, with the sequence obtained having 94.5% homology with published sequence data for BNYVV. The assay gave a sensitivity of 800 times that of a TAS-ELISA and 50 times that of an amplified TAS-ELISA method. A range of BNYVV isolates from the UK and worldwide could be detected by this test, either as mechanically inoculated Chenopodium quinoa leaves or infected sugar beet roots. Use of the assay in routine diagnostic tests allowed a reduction of time needed for the detection of Rhizomania in soils from 7 to 4 weeks.

Abstract
A new non-radioactive sandwich hybridization assay was designed to simplify the analysis of a large number of plant samples. Plant material was homogenized in 0.5% SDS and added directly to the hybridization reaction, in which a pair of identifying probes were used. One of the probes was biotinylated capture RNA specific for plum pox virus (PPV) strain SK-68; the other RNA probe was synthesized from a plasmid bearing the adjacent sequence of this strain and was labelled with digoxigenin (DIG). Both purified viral RNA and crude extracts from PPV-infected plants were used as target for sandwich hybridization. The hybridization reaction was carried out in a streptavidin-coated ELISA plate. After extensive washing, the viral RNA was detected by conventional colour reaction using anti-DIG/alkaline phosphatase conjugate. In comparative experiments, we have shown that this non-radioactive detection system is more sensitive than conventional ELISA techniques and we were able to detect virus-specific RNA in more than 50% of the ELISA-negative samples.

Abstract
A rapid, simple method for preparing plant tissues infected with viruses, viroids, or MLOs using a commercial product known as Gene Releaser is described. The Gene Releaser polymeric matrix method produced plant extracts suitable for PCR amplification without the use of organic solvents, ethanol precipitation, or additional nucleic acid purification techniques. Modification of maceration methods and/or extraction buffers resulted in the PCR amplification of potato spindle tuber, apple scar skin, and dapple apple viroids, as well as, genomic segments of plum pox potyvirus, grapevine virus B, grapevine leafroll-associated virus III, and elm yellows MLO. These pathogens were amplified from tissue of woody and herbaceous hosts such as peach, apricot, apple, grapevine, elm, periwinkle and potato. The application of this product for use with intractable tissue avoids lengthy and laborious extraction procedures. In our hands, about 20 samples could be prepared for PCR or RT-PCR in 1-2 h versus 1-3 days.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific to plum pox virus (PPV) were prepared by fusing myeloma cell lines to spleen cells of mice immunized with purified virus, including virus prepared with protease inhibitors to preserve the integrity of the coat protein (CP). The characterized MAbs could be used in ELISA to differentiate several Mediterranean PPV isolates differing in their geographical origin and CP size. At least seven antigenic sites could be established based on the recognition pattern and competition binding analysis, and the epitopes could be classified in three groups by Western blot analysis of intact and trypsin digested virus particles. By means of electron microscopy the epitopes could be seen to be located on the surface of the virus particles.

Abstract
A PCR diagnostic procedure for wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) was developed using a primer derived from 3'-terminal sequences of five WSMV isolates and an oligo d(T)-based primer. Cereal extracts prepared by digestion with proteinase K and boiling permitted PCR-based detection of both WSMV and BYDV in field samples. This procedure saves time, eliminates multiple liquid transfer steps, and reduces the chances of cross contamination. Sensitivity of such assays is still very good; BYDV could be readily detected in plant sap diluted over 1000-fold. Further, parallel detection of WSMV and barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) in the same samples is possible with this method.

Abstract
A method for the detection of RNA viral and subviral plant pathogens was developed that combines pathogen partial purification by solid-phase adsorbed antibodies, reverse transcriptional-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantitation of the amplified products by fluorescence. The reverse transcription of the RNA is performed directly on the retained material without any previous thermal or chemical disruption of the virus particles. The whole procedure can be carried out in a microtiter plate. Its validity has been successfully confirmed for the detection of bean yellow mosaic virus, cherry leafroll virus, cucumber mosaic virus, citrus tristeza virus, grapevine fanleaf virus, potato leafroll virus, pepper mild mottle virus, and tomato spotted wilt virus, as well as the satellite RNA of cucumber mosaic virus and potato spindle tuber viroid. In this procedure virus-specific antibodies can be replaced by monoclonal antibodies against double-stranded RNA, thus offering the possibility of detection when no specific virus antibodies are available, or immunological methods are difficult to use (i.e., subviral pathogens like satellite-RNAs or viroids). The method described has the typical sensitivity of assays based on the polymerase chain reaction, it is not more laborious than ELISA, and an equivalent degree of automation is possible.

Abstract
A highly sensitive assay, based on polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA synthesized from the viral RNA of antibody-captured viral particles, has been developed for plum pox potyvirus (PPV) detection. The reaction, called immunocapture/PCR (IC/PCR), yields a specific 243-bp product. The immunocapture step, by allowing the use of large sample volumes and by the viral particle prepurification it achieves, dramatically increases the sensitivity of the assay. As few as 8000 target viral particles per ml of plant extract could be detected by IC/PCR. When compared to direct PCR (Wetzel et al., 1991), molecular hybridization using 32P-labeled cRNA probes and ELISA, this result corresponds to a 250-fold, 625-fold and 5000-fold increased sensitivity, respectively. The high sensitivity of IC/PCR was confirmed during an indexing trial with field samples collected from naturally infected trees. This very powerful technique should have wide ranging applications for the detection of a number of other viruses and pathogens for which specific antisera and sequence data are available.

Abstract
The detection for the first time of a plant virus in a single aphid by the high sensitivity polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology is reported. The application of PCR for the detection of viruses in their vectors will aid the understanding of the complex virus-vector relationship and therefore allow the development of new approaches for control of spread of plant virus diseases.

Abstract
Three methods were evaluated for the detection of cherry leafroll virus: ELISA, dot-blot and reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Dot-blot and RT-PCR were carried out in crude plant extracts without any further RNA purification. Dot-blot hybridization using a 32P-labelled DNA probe was as sensitive as previously reported ELISA results for cherry leafroll virus detection. The most sensitive method was RT-PCR, which amplified a specific fragment of 448 bp from the 3' untranslated region of both viral genomic RNAs. RT-PCR was used to detect cherry leafroll virus in infected walnut buds and twigs.
