ZE-PCR test for TBRV and BRSV on onion seed

Publicationdate: 18 september 2024

With new insights into the diversity of TBRV, we have been able to improve our test. This reduces the chances of a false negative result. This modified SE-PCR test has now been validated on onion seed in addition to the already available seed matrices.

The (real-time) PCR is a technique for rapid amplification of DNA

This is done with the help of pathogen-specific building blocks. The increase in DNA can be monitored digitally at any time. This makes it possible to faster and with more certainty confirm whether the seed samples actually contain the pathogen.
