Abstract
Five simplex and a multiplex-RT-PCR (m-RT-PCR) protocols were developed for detection and differentiation of bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV), raspberry ringspot virus (RpRSV), soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV) infecting soybean. The simplex RT-PCR protocols produced virus-specific amplicons of 538 bp for BPMV, 139 bp for CLRV, 298 bp for RpRSV, 403 bp for SMV, and 282 bp for ToRSV, with sensitivity down to 10-4 diluted cDNA. Further, to detect all the five viruses simultaneously in a single tube a quintuplex RT-PCR protocol was optimized with as low as 10-3 diluted cDNA and 0.05 µM primer. To validate the reliability of the simplex RT-PCR protocol, imported soybean samples were tested by ELISA as well as RT-PCR. The results revealed that the developed protocol could detect the viruses in imported soybean, and found to be efficient than ELISA in resolving ambiguity in detection of seed borne viruses. The developed simplex and quintuplex RT-PCR protocol will be quite helpful for the diagnosis of soybean germplasm co-infected with viruses during the quarantine processing for ensuring virus free long term seed conservation in the National Gene Bank as well as for quarantine certification.

Arutselvan R, Makeshkumar T. Single-tube colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for high-sensitivity detection of SLCMV in cassava from southern India. Microb Pathog 2024; 192:106718. [PMID: 38815777 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2024.106718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV) is a major cause for mosaic infections in cassava leaves, resulting in significant economic losses in southern India. SLCMV leads to growth retardation, leaf curl, and chlorosis in the host, with rapid transmission through whitefly insect vectors. Detecting SLCMV promptly is crucial, and the study introduces a novel and efficient colorimetric Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for successful detection in 60 min. Three primer sets were designed to target the conserved region of the SLCMV genome, specifically the coat protein gene, making the assay highly specific. The LAMP assay offers rapid and sensitive detection, completing within 60 min in a temperature-controlled water bath or thermal cycler. Compared to PCR techniques, it demonstrates 100 times superior sensitivity. The visual inspection of LAMP tube results using a nucleic acid dye and observing ladder-like pattern bands in a 2 % agarose gel confirms the presence of SLCMV. The assay is specific to SLCMV, showing no false positives or contaminations when tested against other virus. The standardized SLCMV LAMP assay proves technically efficient, providing a rapid, specific, simple, and low-cost solution, streamlining the detection and management of SLCMV.

Abstract
Reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed for detection of groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) causing potato stem necrosis disease. The isothermal temperatures, reaction periods and concentrations of reaction mixture were optimized where, the assay worked well at 65 °C for 50 min, 6 U of WarmStart Bst 2.0 DNA polymerase, 1.4 mM dNTPs and 2.0 mM MgSO4. The optimized assay proved to be specific to GBNV with no cross reactivity to other viruses infecting potato in India. The specificity of RT-LAMP assay was found to be 100 fold more sensitive than that of RT-PCR. The developed assay was applied for the detection of GBNV from 80 potato leaf samples where 24 samples were found infected which was confirmed by RT-PCR. It was concluded that the RT-LAMP assay developed for detection of GBNV was specific, sensitive and suitable for its use in virus indexing under potato seed production programme.

Abstract
New and emerging plant diseases are caused by different pathogens including viruses that often cause significant crop losses. Badnaviruses are pararetroviruses that contain a single molecule of ds DNA genome of 7 to 9 kb in size and infect a large number of economically important crops such as banana and plantains, black pepper, cacao, citrus, grapevine, pineapple, sugarcane, sweet potato, taro, and yam, causing significant yield losses. Many of the species in the genus have a restricted host range and several of them are known to infect a single crop. Combined infections of different virus species and strains offer conditions that favor the development of new strains via recombination, especially in vegetatively propagated crops. The primary spread of badnaviruses is through vegetative propagating materials while for the secondary spread, they depend on insects such as mealybugs and aphids. Disease emerges as a consequence of the interactions between host and pathogens under favorable environmental conditions. The viral genome of the pararetroviruses is known to be integrated into the chromosome of the host and a few plants with integrants when subjected to different kinds of abiotic stress will give rise to episomal forms of the virus and cause disease. Attempts have been made to develop management strategies for badnaviruses both conventionally and using precision breeding techniques such as genome editing. Until 2016 only 32 badnavirus species infecting different crops were known, but in a span of six years, this number has gone up to 68. The current review highlights the emerging disease problems and management options for badnaviruses infecting economically important crops.

Abstract
Plant diseases caused by viruses limit crop production and quality, resulting in significant losses. However, options for managing viruses are limited; for example, as systemic obligate parasites, they cannot be killed by chemicals. Sensitive, robust, affordable diagnostic assays are needed to detect the presence of viruses in plant materials such as seeds, vegetative parts, insect vectors, or alternative hosts and then prevent or limit their introduction into the field by destroying infected plant materials or controlling insect hosts. Diagnostics based on biological and physical properties are not very sensitive and are time-consuming, but assays based on viral proteins and nucleic acids are more specific, sensitive, and rapid. However, most such assays require laboratories with sophisticated equipment and technical skills. By contrast, isothermal-based assays such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) are simple, easy to perform, reliable, specific, and rapid and do not require specialized equipment or skills. Isothermal amplification assays can be performed using lateral flow devices, making them suitable for onsite detection or testing in the field. To overcome non-specific amplification and cross-contamination issues, isothermal amplification assays can be coupled with CRISPR/Cas technology. Indeed, the collateral activity associated with some CRISPR/Cas systems has been successfully harnessed for visual detection of plant viruses. Here, we briefly describe traditional methods for detecting viruses and then examine the various isothermal assays that are being harnessed to detect viruses.

Abstract
Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) ranks top among all endemic diseases transmitted by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) affecting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) causing severe economic losses to the cotton growers in the Indian subcontinent. For its effective management, robust tools for detection are a prerequisite and it is important to diagnose the virus titre in early stage of infection in plants as well as in the disease transmitting vector. Considering the limitations in current PCR-based techniques we have standardized rapid and sensitive Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) protocol for the diagnosis of cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) in cotton leaves and in its transmitting vector whitefly. Perhaps, this is the first report of use of LAMP tool for rapid diagnosis of CLCuV in cotton and its transmitting vector the whitefly. Further, the colorimetric detection for diagnostic simplicity of amplified LAMP product by using different dyes lead to enhanced applicability of this technique in the field of disease diagnostics. The merit of present study is that the diagnostic failure of PCR and LAMP due to low virus titre in the infected leaf has been circumvented through the combination of rolling circle amplification (RCA) with LAMP. Thus RCA-LAMP can be an option for ultra-sensitive detection of samples with low virus titre. The potential applications of this advanced diagnostic tool in laboratory research on diagnosis of CLCuV, an important viral pathogen of cotton have been discussed.

Abstract
Globally, Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) and Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) occur frequently and in combination cause sweetpotato virus disease (SPVD). Many viral diseases are economically important and negatively impact the production and movement of germplasm across regions. Rapid detection of viruses is critical for effective control. Detection and quantification of viruses directly from sweetpotato remains a challenge. Current diagnostic tests are not sensitive enough to reliably detect viruses directly from the plant or require expensive laboratory equipment and expertise to perform. We developed a simple and rapid loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of SPFMV, SPCSV and begomoviruses related to sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV). Laboratory validation recorded 100 % diagnostic sensitivity for all the three viruses. The LAMP assays were customized for field testing using a lyophilized thermostable isothermal master mix in a ready-to-use form that required no cold chain. The average time to positivity (TTP) was: SPFMV 5-30 min, SPCSV 15-43 min s and begomoviruses 28-45 mins. LAMP on-site testing results were comparable to PCR and RT-PCR confirmatory laboratory tests. The LAMP assay is a powerful tool for rapid sweetpotato virus detection at a reasonable cost and thus could serve as quality control systems for planting materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Serotype 2 of dengue virus (DENV-2) is the most prevalent cause of dengue fevers. In this study, the C-prM gene was used for specific detection of DENV-2 by RT-LAMP assay. The RT-LAMP assay was optimized using the Taguchi design of experiments. RESULTS The efficiency of the assay in such optimal conditions resulted in 100% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 100% overall accuracy for detection of 4 copies/μL of the genome of DENV-2. In addition, the detection of 2 copies/μL of the genome of DENV-2 was feasible, although the sensitivity was 50%. Considering the importance of the specific detection of the dengue virus serotypes, the cost-effective RT-LAMP approach can be used for rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of DENV-2. CONCLUSION RT-LAMP, as a cost-effective method, was optimized using Taguchi array approach for specific and rapid detection of DENV-2. Such methods can facilitate the diagnosis procedure in remote regions.

Abstract
Indian citrus ringspot virus (ICRSV) is a devastating pathogen that has a particularly deleterious effect on the 'Kinnow mandarin', a commercial citrus crop cultivated in the northwest of India. ICRSV belongs to the Mandarivirus genus within the family of Alphaflexiviridae and has a positive sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) genome consisting of six open reading frames (ORFs). Severe cases of ICRSV result in a significant reduction in both the yield and quality of crops. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop methods to detect ICRSV in an accurate and timely manner. Current methods involve a two-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) that is time consuming. Here, we describe a novel, one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) method for the sensitive and rapid detection of ICRSV. To standardize the RT-LAMP assay, four different primers were designed and tested to target the coat protein gene of ICRSV. Amplification results were visualized by a color change after addition of SYBR Green I. The standardized RT-LAMP assay was highly specific and successfully detected all 35 ICRSV isolates tested from the Punjab and Haryana states of India. Furthermore, there was no cross-reaction with 17 isolates of five other citrus pathogens that are common in India. The ICRSV RT-LAMP assay developed in the present study is a simple, rapid, sensitive, specific technique. Moreover, the assay consists of only a single step and is more cost effective than existing methods. This is the first application of RT-LAMP for the detection of ICRSV. Our RT-LAMP assay is a powerful tool for the detection of ICRSV and will be particularly useful for large-scale indexing of field samples in diagnostic laboratories, in nurseries, and for quarantine applications.

Abstract
Plant viral diseases are the foremost threat to sustainable agriculture, leading to several billion dollars in losses every year. Many viruses infecting several crops have been described in the literature; however, new infectious viruses are emerging frequently through outbreaks. For the effective treatment and prevention of viral diseases, there is great demand for new techniques that can provide accurate identification on the causative agents. With the advancements in biochemical and molecular biology techniques, several diagnostic methods with improved sensitivity and specificity for the detection of prevalent and/or unknown plant viruses are being continuously developed. Currently, serological and nucleic acid methods are the most widely used for plant viral diagnosis. Nucleic acid-based techniques that amplify target DNA/RNA have been evolved with many variants. However, there is growing interest in developing techniques that can be based in real-time and thus facilitate in-field diagnosis. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based innovative methods have shown great potential to detect multiple viruses simultaneously; however, such techniques are in the preliminary stages in plant viral disease diagnostics. This review discusses the recent progress in the use of NGS-based techniques for the detection, diagnosis, and identification of plant viral diseases. New portable devices and technologies that could provide real-time analyses in a relatively short period of time are prime important for in-field diagnostics. Current development and application of such tools and techniques along with their potential limitations in plant virology are likewise discussed in detail.

Abstract
Phloem-limiting phytoplasmas are known to be causal agents of phyllody, which is recognized by the abnormal development of floral structures resulting in serious yield losses in sesame plants. Currently, identification of the various groups of phytoplasmas that cause sesame phyllody (SP) is conducted by nested PCR, RFLP, and multiplex real-time qPCR assays. However, these methods require intensive labor and are costly and time-consuming so can only be undertaken in well-equipped labs. Here, diagnostic loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based assays allowing rapid detection of specific groups of phytoplasmas within 30 min were developed based on detection of the 16S rRNA sequence of phytoplasmas. Universal 16S rRNA phytoplasma primers and seven primer sets of different 16Sr group phytoplasmas (16SrI, 16SrII, 16SrIII, 16SrIV, 16SrV, 16SrX, 16SrXI) and universal plant cytochrome oxidase (cox) gene primers were used to detect 16S rRNA group phytoplasma sequences and the cox gene in sesame plants. The LAMP assays were carried out using a real-time fluorometer with amplification plots and annealing curves visualized directly. Results demonstrated that the 16SrI and 16SrII group phytoplasmas were causal agents of sesame phyllody in Vietnam. LAMP-based assays for in-field detection of sesame phyllody-causing phytoplasmas revealed advantages and potential applicability in comparison with conventional approaches. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first assessment of multiple phytoplasma infection associated with sesame phyllody disease in Vietnam using LAMP-based assays.

Abstract
In the present study, two isothermal molecular assays viz. reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and reverse transcriptase recombinase amplification (RT-RPA) were developed to detect the cardamom vein clearing virus (CdVCV) infecting cardamom. Assays were optimized for parameters like duration, temperature and concentration of magnesium sulfate, and betaine in the case of RT-LAMP and magnesium acetate in the case of RT-RPA. Detection limits of both assays were determined and compared with conventional RT-PCR and SYBR Green-based real-time RT-PCR. RT-LAMP was found 10,000 times additional sensitive than RT-PCR and one-tenth that of real-time RT-PCR. RT-RPA was found 1000 times additional sensitive than RT-PCR and one-hundredth that of real-time RT-PCR. Both assays were specific, rapid, and sensitive for detecting CdVCV. Compared to real-time RT-PCR, these assays are economical and can be employed in large scale screening of cardamom plants against CdVCV for the selection of virus-free plants.

Development of reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assays for the detection of two novel viruses infecting ginger. J Virol Methods 2020; 282:113884. [PMID: 32442456 DOI: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2020.113884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2020] [Revised: 05/14/2020] [Accepted: 05/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Our recent studies have shown the association of two novel viruses namely, ginger chlorotic fleck-associated virus 1 (GCFaV-1) and ginger chlorotic fleck-associated virus 2 (GCFaV-2) with chlorotic fleck disease of ginger. As ginger is propagated through vegetative means, the development of diagnostics would aid in the identification of virus-free plants. In the present study, reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assays were developed and validated for the quick detection of GCFaV-1 and GCFaV-2. The detection limits of viruses by these assays, when compared with conventional and real-time RT-PCR, showed that RT-LAMP was up to 1000 times more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR and one-hundredth that of real-time RT-PCR for both the viruses. The detection limit of RT-RPA for GCFaV-1 was up to 100 times more than that of RT-PCR and one-thousandth that of real-time RT-PCR. On the other hand, for detecting GCFaV-2, RT-RPA was found up to 1000 times more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR and one hundredth that of real-time RT-PCR. Based on the cost-effectiveness and duration, RT-LAMP and RT-RPA assays can be suggested for the rapid detection of both viruses.

Abstract
A reverse transcription-loop mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed to detect the Potato virus S (PVS) in potato. Two sets of six novel primers that recognize the coat protein gene sequence of the PVS were designed and RT-LAMP assay was optimized for the parameters such as different concentrations of primers, MgSO4, betaine, dNTPs, Bst DNA polymerase, temperature and duration. The RT-LAMP was carried out under isothermal conditions without the thermal cycler using PVS infected leaf and tuber samples, LAMP specific primers with amplification at 65 °C for 60 min, and 80 °C for 5 min. The results were assessed by gel electrophoresis and visual observation of colour change using SYBR Green I dye. The detection limit of the developed RT-LAMP assay was determined and compared with a conventional reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RT-LAMP was found 100 times more sensitive than RT-PCR. The optimized RT-LAMP assay is robust, reliable, sensitive and convenient for the detection of the PVS in infected potato tubers including asymptomatic plants. No cross-reactions were observed with healthy plants and other potato viruses. The assay is economical and can be employed in large scale testing of potato plants against PVS under healthy seed potato production programme.

Abstract
In the last decades, the evolution of molecular diagnosis methods has generated different advanced tools, like loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Currently, it is a well-established technique, applied in different fields, such as the medicine, agriculture, and food industries, owing to its simplicity, specificity, rapidity, and low-cost efforts. LAMP is a nucleic acid amplification under isothermal conditions, which is highly compatible with point-of-care (POC) analysis and has the potential to improve the diagnosis in plant protection. The great advantages of LAMP have led to several upgrades in order to implement the technique. In this review, the authors provide an overview reporting in detail the different LAMP steps, focusing on designing and main characteristics of the primer set, different methods of result visualization, evolution and different application fields, reporting in detail LAMP application in plant virology, and the main advantages of the use of this technique.

Rapid Detection of Lily mottle virus and Arabis mosaic virus Infecting Lily ( Lilium spp.) Using Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification.

Abstract
The Lily mottle virus (LMoV) impedes the growth and quality of lily crops in Lanzhou, China. Recently Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) has been detected in LMoV-infected plants in this region, causing plant stunting as well as severe foliar symptoms, and likely posing a threat to lily production. Consequently, there is a need to develop simple, sensitive, and reliable detection methods for these two viruses to prevent them from spreading. Reverse transcription (RT) loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays have been developed to detect LMoV and ArMV using two primer pairs that match six conserved sequences of LMoV and ArMV coat proteins, respectively. RT-LAMP assay results were visually assessed in reaction tubes using green fluorescence and gel electrophoresis. Our assays successfully detected both LMoV and ArMV in lily plants without the occurrence of viral cross-reactivity from other lily viruses. Optimal conditions for LAMP reactions were 65°C and 60°C for 60 min for LMoV and ArMV, respectively. Detection sensitivity for both RT-LAMP assays was a hundredfold greater than that of our comparative RT-polymerase chain reaction assays. We have also found this relatively rapid, target specific and sensitive method can also be used for samples collected in the field and may be especially useful in regions with limited or no laboratory facilities.

Abstract
A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for simple, rapid and efficient detection of Cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV), one of the most important begomoviruses that infects cucurbits worldwide. A set of six specific primers targeting a total 240 nt sequence regions in the DNA A of CuLCrV were designed and synthesized for detection of CuLCrV from infected leaf tissues using real-time LAMP amplification with the Genie® III system, which was further confirmed by gel electrophoresis and SYBR™ Green I DNA staining for visual observation. The optimum reaction temperature and time were determined, and no cross-reactivity was seen with other begomoviruses. The LAMP assay could amplify CuLCrV from a mixed virus assay. The sensitivity assay demonstrated that the LAMP reaction was more sensitive than conventional PCR, but less sensitive than qPCR. However, it was simpler and faster than the other assays evaluated. The LAMP assay also amplified CuLCrV-infected symptomatic and asymptomatic samples more efficiently than PCR. Successful LAMP amplification was observed in mixed virus-infected field samples. This simple, rapid, and sensitive method has the capacity to detect CuLCrV in samples collected in the field and is therefore suitable for early detection of the disease to reduce the risk of epidemics.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is damaging to the growth and quality of lettuce crops in Lanzhou, China. Recently, however, for the first time an isolate of lettuce necrotic yellows virus (LNYV) has been detected in lettuce crops in China, and there is concern that this virus may also pose a threat to lettuce production in China. Consequently, there is a need to develop a rapid and efficient detection method to accurately identify LNYV and CMV infections and help limit their spread. Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assays were developed to detect the nucleoprotein (N) and coat protein (CP) genes of LNYV and CMV, respectively. RT-LAMP amplification products were visually assessed in reaction tubes separately using green fluorescence and gel electrophoresis. The assays successfully detected both viruses in infected plants without cross reactivity recorded from either CMV or LNYV or four other related plant viruses. Optimum LAMP reactions were conducted in betaine-free media with 6 mM Mg2+ at 65°C for LNYV and 60°C for 60 min for CMV, respectively. The detection limit was 3.5 pg/ml and 20 fg/ml using RT-LAMP for LNYV and CMV plasmids, respectively. Detection sensitivity for both RT-LAMP assays was greater by a factor of 100 compared to the conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays. This rapid, specific, and sensitive technique should be more widely applied due to its low cost and minimal equipment requirements.

Abstract
Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a quick, specific, sensitive molecular tool carried out at a constant temperature for pathogen detection. In the present study, RPA and reverse transcription (RT) RPA assays were optimized for the detection of piper yellow mottle virus (PYMoV) infecting black pepper. Out of the eight primer pairs targeted to amplify open reading frames (ORFs) 2 and 3 of the virus, the primer pair targeted to ORF2 gave specific amplification only with DNA isolated from infected plant but not with healthy plant. A magnesium acetate concentration of 18 mM, 40 min of incubation time and a temperature of 37-42 °C was found optimum for detection of the virus in RPA assay. Comparison of sensitivity of detection revealed that RPA could detect the virus up to 10-5 dilution of the total DNA while PCR could detect the virus up to 10-4 dilution indicating that RPA is 10 times more sensitive than PCR. RPA was further simplified using crude extract as template which could detect the virus up to 10-3 dilution. RT-RPA was optimized for the detection of PYMoV using total RNA isolated from infected plants as the template. Both RT-RPA and RPA assays were validated using field samples of black pepper representing different varieties and geographical regions by using CTAB isolated DNA, crude DNA extract and cDNA. Our study showed that RPA and RT-RPA can be successfully adopted as a substitute to PCR for detection of PYMoV infecting black pepper.

Abstract
Tobacco Streak Virus (TSV) belongs to the genus Ilarvirus of the family Bromoviridae an emerging pathogen posing threat to the crop species worldwide. Identification of symptoms due to TSV infection by visual observation of plants often results in misdiagnosis as symptoms produced by this virus can match with those reflecting physiological and nutritional disorders affecting cotton. Development of diagnostic tools with rapidity will have immense role to play in detection and management of the emerging virus. The protocol for rapid diagnosis of TSV infected samples by using Reverse Transcription-Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) was optimised and this is the first report of its use for diagnosis of TSV on cotton and Soybean. The colorimetric detection for diagnostic simplicity of amplified RT-LAMP product by using different dyes lead to enhanced applicability of this technique. The RT-LAMP diagnostic tool can be utilized not only for laboratory research but also for quarantine and field diagnosis of this important emerging pathogen affecting cotton.

Abstract
Diagnostic technologies for the detection of plant pathogens with point-of-care capability and high multiplexing ability are an essential tool in the fight to reduce the large agricultural production losses caused by plant diseases. The main desirable characteristics for such diagnostic assays are high specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, quickness, cost efficiency and high-throughput multiplex detection capability. This article describes and discusses various DNA-based point-of care diagnostic methods for applications in plant disease detection. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most common DNA amplification technology used for detecting various plant and animal pathogens. However, subsequent to PCR based assays, several types of nucleic acid amplification technologies have been developed to achieve higher sensitivity, rapid detection as well as suitable for field applications such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification, helicase-dependent amplification, rolling circle amplification, recombinase polymerase amplification, and molecular inversion probe. The principle behind these technologies has been thoroughly discussed in several review papers; herein we emphasize the application of these technologies to detect plant pathogens by outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each technology in detail.

Abstract
Badnaviruses (Family: Caulimoviridae; Genus: Badnavirus) are non-enveloped bacilliform DNA viruses with a monopartite genome containing about 7.2 to 9.2 kb of dsDNA with three to seven open reading frames. They are transmitted by mealybugs and a few species by aphids in a semi-persistent manner. They are one of the most important plant virus groups and have emerged as serious pathogens affecting the cultivation of several horticultural crops in the tropics, especially banana, black pepper, cocoa, citrus, sugarcane, taro, and yam. Some badnaviruses are also known as endogenous viruses integrated into their host genomes and a few such endogenous viruses can be awakened, e.g., through abiotic stress, giving rise to infective episomal forms. The presence of endogenous badnaviruses poses a new challenge for the fool-proof diagnosis, taxonomy, and management of the diseases. The present review aims to highlight emerging disease problems, virus characteristics, transmission, and diagnosis of badnaviruses.

A betaine-free reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed and optimised for detecting tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV), one of the most important viruses that infect tomato crops worldwide. A set of four specific primers was designed against the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene. The betaine-free RT-LAMP procedure could be completed within 40 min under isothermal conditions at 60 °C without a thermal cycler, and no cross-reactivity was seen with other tomato viral pathogens. Sensitivity analysis showed that RT-LAMP could detect viral dilutions up to 2.0×10(-7)ng, which is 100-times more sensitive than reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In addition, naked-eye observation after staining in-tube RT-LAMP products with SYBR Green I facilitated detection of ToCV by avoiding the requirement for ethidium staining following gel electrophoresis. These results suggest that ToCV RT-LAMP is a rapid, sensitive, and affordable diagnostic tool that is more suitable than RT-PCR for the detection and surveillance of ToCV in field samples.
