Description
The Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign provides specific detection of potato mop-top virus, an RNA virus that causes spraing (internal tuber necrosis) and serious quality loss in potato, transmitted by the powdery-scab organism Spongospora subterranea. The assay uses one-step RT real-time PCR to detect a conserved region of the viral genome from extracted RNA, supporting seed-potato testing and certification.
Each kit supplies a ready-to-use primer and probe mix with a positive control template and is run as a one-step RT-qPCR, providing a complete workflow from extracted RNA on any standard real-time PCR platform. The Advanced format additionally includes an internal extraction control to flag inhibition and a copy-number standard curve for absolute quantification of viral load.
