Norgen Hop Stunt Viroid (HSVd) End-Point RT-PCR Kit - 24 Reactions EP38900

HSVd Detection Kits 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. • Ready to use format, including Master Mix for the target and PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition and validate the quality • Specific Primer mix for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest • Positive control and a negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents • Loading dye and a DNA ladder to facilitate qualitative analysis of the results on an agarose gel
