Method Used
Real-Time PCR
Standard Turnaround Time
12-20 working days
Pospiviroid positives detected by real time RT-PCR (TaqMan) are tested by RT-PCR and sequencing to try to identify and confirm the pospiviroid. Identification and confirmation is not always possible due to the low level of viroid detected in seeds and the fact that RT-PCR is less sensitive that real time RT-PCR.
Please also note that the same sample of seeds from the Pospiviroid seed testing package can be used, so no requirement for any further samples to be sent to us.
