HSVd TaqMan RT-PCR Kit

Detection kits for HSVd Available in TaqMan format for analysis The Hop Stunt Viroid (HSVd) is one of a group of the smallest self-replicating RNAs pathogenic to plants. The viroid is a covalently closed, circular, single-stranded RNA consisting of 297 nucleotides. Strains of HSVd can be found to infect citrus, grapes, stone fruit and cucumber, and have been detected in Europe, Asia, North America, Australia and the Middle East. To prevent or reduce the negative effects caused by the viroid it is necessary to use viroid-free planting material. Methods for the identification of this viroid in host plants should help to control the spread of this agriculturally important plant pathogen.
