Norgen Tomato Chlorotic Dwarf Viroid (TCDVd) Primer and Control Set - 100 Reactions EP39010

TCDVd Detection Kits Tomato Chlorotic Dwarf Viroid (TCDVd) is a viroid which causes disease in both field and green-house tomatoes. The viroid is a single-stranded RNA molecule consisting of 300 nucleotides, and is closely related to the Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid. Infected tomato plants show different symptoms depending on the tomato variety, age of the plant, plant vigour and climatic conditions. Some symptoms of TCDVd infection include stunting, overall bunchiness, reduced leaf and fruit, leaf chlorosis, downward bending of leaves and even death of plants. TCDVd has been detected on tomato plants in Europe, Canada and the United States. The detection of TCDVd infection by symptoms is challenging since many other viroids and viruses can produce similar symptoms. Therefore, detection using PCR is the most effective method available. • Specific Primer mix and Positive Control for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest • Nuclease-free water • Can be used together with Norgen’s PCR/RT-PCR Master Mix (#28007/#28113)or customer supplied master mix
