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
Viruses transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) are an increasing threat to cucurbit production in the southwestern United States and many other cucurbit production regions of the world. The crinivirus cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV) has severely impacted melon production in California and Arizona since its 2006 introduction to the region. Within the past few years, another crinivirus, cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV), and the whitefly-transmitted ipomovirus squash vein yellowing virus (SqVYV) were found infecting melon plants in California's Imperial Valley. CYSDV, CCYV, and an aphid-transmitted polerovirus, cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV), occur together in the region and produce identical yellowing symptoms on cucurbit plants. Mixed infections of these four viruses in the Sonoran Desert and other regions pose challenges for disease management and efforts to develop resistant varieties. A multiplex single-step RT-PCR method was developed that differentiates among these viruses, and this was used to determine the prevalence and distribution of the viruses in melon samples from fields in the Sonoran Desert melon production region of California and Arizona during the spring and fall melon seasons from 2019 through 2021. TaqMan probes were developed, optimized, and applied in a single-step multiplex RT-qPCR to quantify titers of these four viruses in plant samples, which frequently carry mixed infections. Results of the multiplex RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that CYSDV is the predominant virus during the fall, whereas CCYV was by far the most prevalent virus during the spring each year. Multiplex RT-qPCR was used to evaluate differential accumulation and spatiotemporal distribution of viruses within plants and suggested differences in competitive accumulation of CCYV and CYSDV within melon. This study provides the first official report of SqVYV in Arizona and offers an efficient method for virus detection and quantification for breeding and disease management in areas impacted by cucurbit yellowing viruses.

Abstract
Yellowing symptoms caused by tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) and tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV), both assigned to the genus Crinivirus, resemble nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, early diagnosis of infections will prevent crop damage and the spread of the viruses. In this study, we established a rapid detection method for ToCV and TICV by reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). We first designed primer sets for RT-LAMP specific for ToCV and TICV. Next, by selecting the optimum primer set and determining the optimum conditions for the RT-LAMP reaction, each virus was detected within 50 min by piercing the diseased area of a tomato leaf with a toothpick, immersing the toothpick in the reaction solution, and conducting the RT-LAMP reaction. To verify the accuracy of the procedure, 61 tomato leaf samples showing disease symptoms were collected from five regions of Indonesia, and the RT-LAMP results for the samples were identical to those obtained with the commonly used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

Development of Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP): A new tool for rapid diagnosis of cotton leaf curl viral disease. J Virol Methods 2022; 306:114541.

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
BACKGROUND Plant metabolites play vital roles in regulating the behavior of herbivore insects. Virus infection can universally alter plant metabolites to manipulate the orientation and feeding behaviors of insect vector, to favor the transmission of virus. Thus, determining the differentially accumulated metabolites of plant upon virus infection could provide insights into understanding how the triple interactions among plant, virus and insect vector happens. Our previous studies have found that vector whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) showed different orientation behavior and performance on CCYV-infected and healthy cucumber plants. Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) is exclusively transmitted by B. tabaci in a semi-persistent mode. In this study, we take the CCYV, B. tabaci and cucumber as a research system to explore the functions of phyto-metabolites in the triple interactions. RESULTS A total of 612 metabolites changed upon CCYV infection were monitored. Metabolites mainly enriched in flavonoids, lipids, nucleotides and their derivatives. At 7 days post CCYV inoculation (dpi), the contents of lipids, terpenoids and flavonoids remarkably decreased, while amino acids, nucleotides and their derivatives notably up-accumulated. At 15 dpi, the accumulation of flavonoids were still significantly reduced upon CCYV infection, while lipids, amino acids, nucleotides and derivatives were remarkably enhanced. Most of significantly increased metabolites were lipids (lysophosphatidylethanolamine, LPE; lysophosphatidylcholine, LPC and their isomers). Also, the number of significantly changed metabolites increased with the infection period. However, only a few organic acids and phenolic acids showed difference between CCYV-infected and healthy cucumber plants. CONCLUSIONS CCYV infection repressed the defensive flavonoids, terpeneoids metabolism but triggered the lipids, amino acids and nucleotides metabolism with the inoculation period. This result suggests that CCYV-infection makes cucumber plants more susceptible for whiteflies attack and CCYV infection. The reduction of defensive comounds and the increase of amino acids may be partially responsible for enhancing feeding preference of whiteflies to CCYV-infected hosts. CCYV may hijacked lipid metabolism for virus replication and assembly.

Abstract
Little cherry virus 2 (LChV-2, genus Ampelovirus) is considered to be the main causal agent of the economically damaging little cherry disease, which can only be controlled by removal of infected trees. The widespread viral disease of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is affecting the survival of long-standing orchards in North America and Europe, hence the dire need for an early and accurate diagnosis to establish a sound disease control strategy. The endemic presence of LChV-2 is mainly confirmed using laborious time-consuming reverse-transcription (RT-PCR). A rapid reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay targeting a conserved region of the coat protein was developed and compared with conventional RT-PCR for the specific detection of LChV-2. This affordable assay, combined with a simple RNA extraction, deploys desirable characteristics such as higher ability for faster (<15 min), more analytically sensitive (100-fold), and robust broad-range diagnosis of LChV-2 isolates from sweet cherry, ornamental flowering cherry displaying heterogenous viral etiology and, for the first time, newly identified potential insect vectors. Moreover, use of Sanger and total RNA high-throughput sequencing as complementary metaviromics approaches confirmed the LChV-2 RT-LAMP detection of divergent LChV-2 isolates in new hosts and the relationship of their whole-genome was exhaustively inferred using maximum-likelihood phylogenomics. This entails unprecedented critical understanding of a novel evolutionary clade further expanding LChV-2 viral diversity. In conclusion, this highly effective diagnostic platform facilitates strategical support for early in-field testing to reliably prevent dissemination of new LChV-2 outbreaks from propagative plant stocks or newly postulated insect vectors. Validated results and major advantages are herein thoroughly discussed, in light of the knowledge required to increase the potential accuracy of future diagnostics and the essential epidemiological considerations to proactively safeguard cherries and Prunus horticultural crop systems from little cherry disease.

Abstract
Maize is one of the most widely cultivated cereal crops worldwide. Maize yellow mosaic virus (MaYMV) (species Maize yellow mosaic virus, genus Polerovirus and family Luteoviridae) was first reported in maize from China. In this study, a one-step reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed for detecting MaYMV. The optimal concentrations of betaine, Mg2+ and dNTPs for the assay were 0 M, 1.4 mM and 6 mM, respectively, and the optimal reaction time was 50 min. Using total plant RNA as the template, the detection limit of the RT-LAMP assay for MaYMV was 1 pg, while that of RT-PCR was 100 pg, indicating that the RT-LAMP assay developed was 100 times more sensitive than RT-PCR. Importantly, the RT-LAMP assay successfully detected MaYMV using rapidly extracted crude RNA from infected maize as a template. In conclusion, the RT-LAMP assay developed was a rapid, specific, sensitive and low-cost method for the detection of MaYMV in field samples of maize.

Abstract
The cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) causes severe economic losses in cucurbit plants. Although it has been widely known in various countries for several years, CCYV is rarely recognized due to the lack of rapid and effective detection methods in the early stage of the disease. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a new, efficient, and simple technology for nucleic acid detection. In the present study, reverse transcription (RT)-RPA and quantitative RT-RPA were developed and utilized for fast detection of CCYV in field-collected melon samples. The analysis was performed under constant temperature conditions without the necessity for a thermal cycler in just 20 min. Moreover, the detection limit of RT-RPA for CCYV was determined at 10 pg. In the study, 58 field-collected samples were employed to evaluate the performance of the two assays. The positive rates were established at 72.4 % (42/58) and 75.9 % (44/58) by RT-RPA and qRT-RPA, respectively, and were consistent with the RT-PCR results. The successful application of RPA for the detection of CCYV in field-collected melon samples indicated its potential applicability. Thus, the developed RPA assays provide an alternative for fast, efficient, sensitive, and reliable detection of CCYV in diagnostic laboratories, which lack the precise instrumentation, and fields without appropriate equipment.

Rapid diagnosis of Ralstonia solanacearum infection sweet potato in China by loop-mediated isothermal amplification. Arch Microbiol 2020; 203:777-785.

Abstract
Bacterial wilt of sweet potato is caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, which is distributed in southern China and causes significant economic losses each year. The pathogen is soil- and rhizome-borne, and thus its rapid detection may prevent the occurrence and spread of the disease. R. solanacearum has been listed as a quarantine disease in China. With the advent of molecular biology, many novel tools have been explored for the rapid identification of plant pathogens. In this study, a strain-specific detection method was developed for this specific pathogen that infects sweet potato using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). A set of new LAMP-specific primers was designed from the orf428 gene, which can specifically detect the R. solanacearum bacterium that infect sweet potato. The LAMP reaction consisted of 8.0 mmol·L-1Mg2+, 1.4 mmol·L-1 dNTPs, and 0.32U μL-1 Bst 2.0 DNA polymerase and was performed at 65 °C for 1 h. The amplification products were detected by visualizing a mixture of color changes using SYBR Green I dye and assessing ladder-like bands by electrophoresis. Our method has specificity, i.e., it only detected R. solanacearum in sweet potato, and it has high sensitivity, with a detection limit of 100 fg·μL-1 genomic DNA and 103 CFU·mL-1 of bacterial fluid. In addition, R. solanacearum could be directly detected in infected sweet potato tissues without the need for DNA extraction. The LAMP method established in this study is a highly specific, sensitive, and rapid tool for the detection of bacterial wilt in sweet potato caused by R. solanacearum.

Abstract
As an efficient approach to risk management in agriculture, the elimination of losses due to plant diseases and insect pests is one of the most important and urgent technological challenges for improving the crop yield. Therefore, we have developed a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based microfluidic device for the multiplex genetic diagnosis of plant diseases and pests. It offers unique features, such as rapid detection, portability, simplicity, and the low-cost genetic diagnosis of a wide variety of plant viruses. In this study, to realize such a diagnostic device, we developed a method for the autonomous dispensing of fluid into a microchamber array, which was integrated with a set of three passive stop valves with different burst pressures (referred to as phaseguides) to facilitate precise fluid handling. Additionally, we estimated the mixing efficiencies of several types of passive mixers (referred to as chaotic mixers), which were integrated into a microchannel, through experimental and computational analyses. We first demonstrated the ability of the fabricated diagnostic devices to detect DNA-based plant viruses from an infected tomato crop based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method. Moreover, we demonstrated the simultaneous detection of RNA-based plant viruses, which can infect cucurbits, by using the reverse transcription LAMP (RT-LAMP) method. The multiplex RT-LAMP assays revealed that multiple RNA viruses extracted from diseased cucumber leaves were successfully detected within 60 min, without any cross-contamination between reaction microchambers, on our diagnostic device.

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.

Abstract
Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV) can cause significant economic losses due to decreased quality in cucurbit crops. The current study is the first to use reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) for detection of MNSV. A set of four LAMP primers was designed based on the coat protein gene sequence of MNSV, and a RT-LAMP reaction was successfully performed for 1 h at 62°C. The results of RT-LAMP showed high specificity for MNSV and no cross-reaction with other viruses. Compared to traditional reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), the RT-LAMP assay was 103-fold more sensitive in detecting MNSV. Due to its sensitivity, speed and visual assessment, RT-LAMP is appropriate for detecting MNSV in the laboratory.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21051756. [PMID: 32143404 PMCID: PMC7084362 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21051756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
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
Little cherry virus 1 (LChV-1) belongs to the genus Velarivirus, family Closteroviridae, is an economically important pathogen affecting mainly cherry around the world emphasizing the impetus for its efficient and accurate on-site detection. This study describes the development of a reliable diagnostic protocol of LChV-1 based on a one-step reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). The protocol detects LChV-1 isolates in less than 10 min by fluorescence monitoring using a mobile detection device and is most optimal when performed at 67 °C. Sharp melting curves and unique melting temperatures (Tm) were obtained for the positive samples. Both the RT-LAMP and classical RT-PCR methods are capable of specifically detecting LChV-1 in infected leaf tissues. In addition, the RT-LAMP has remarkable advantages in comparison to RT-PCR. It is at least hundred fold more sensitive, significantly faster (allowing on-field leaf-to-result diagnostic) and efficient at minimal cost. In conclusion, this innovative RT-LAMP approach can contribute to the implementation of sustainable integrated management strategies for detection of LChV-1 in commercial orchards or for horticultural research stations. It is also suitable for decision support in phytosanitary epidemiological programs.

Abstract
Background Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV), a bipartite crinivirus, causes chlorotic leaf spots and yellowing symptoms on cucurbit leaves. We previously developed an infectious clone of CCYV. Limited work has been conducted on the construction of a crinivirus green fluorescence protein (GFP) expression vector to date. Finding We constructed a CCYV GFP expression vector using the “add a gene” strategy based on CCYV RNA2 cDNA constrcut. Three resultant clones, pCCYVGFPSGC, pCCYVGFPCGC, and pCCYVGFPCGS, were constructed with different promoters used to initiate GFP and CP expression. At 25 dpi GFP fluorescence was detectable not only in leaf veins but also in the surrounding cells. pCCYVGFPCGC-infected cucumber leaves exhibited cell spread at 25 dpi, whereas pCCYVGFPSGC and pCCYVGFPCGS were mainly found in single cells. Further observation of pCCYVGFPCGC GFP expression at 30 dpi, 40 dpi, and 50 dpi showed phloem-limited localization in the systemic leaves. Conclusions We developed of a CCYV GFP expression vector that will be useful for further study of CCYV movement in cucurbits.

Abstract
A reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed for the detection of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV). In this method, a set of four primers was designed based on the conserved regions in the coat protein gene of ACLSV, and the primers were synthesized for the RT-LAMP assay using total RNA extracted from ACLSV-infected leaf tissues. The optimal reaction temperature and assay time were determined to be 64°C and 75min, respectively. The sensitivity of RT-LAMP reactions was reliable up to a maximum dilution of 1:3125, which was more sensitive than the RT-PCR assay. The successful application of RT-LAMP to field-collected apple samples demonstrated its potential for broader applications in effectively diagnosing diseases and, consequently, its potential to control ACLSV from spreading further, particularly in many developing countries around the world. To our knowledge, this is the first application of RT-LAMP for the detection of ACLSV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) is a recently reported bipartite crinivirus that causes chlorotic leaf spots and yellowing symptoms on the leaves of cucurbit plants. The virus-host interaction of CCYV remains to be elucidated, and the influence of criniviruses on the host gene transcriptome requires analysis. METHODS We used transcriptome sequencing to analyse the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) caused by CCYV infection. RESULTS CCYV infection resulted in 865 DEGs. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis identified 67 pathways, and the three major enrichment pathways (according to the P-values) were photosynthesis-antenna proteins (KO00196), phenylalanine metabolism (KO00360a), and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (KO00940). Of the 13 DEGs identified in phenylalanine metabolism, 11 genes encode disease resistance-related phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) genes. Using quantitative real-time PCR, we validated the differential expression of 12 genes. CONCLUSIONS Our study based on the CCYV-cucumber interaction provides comprehensive transcriptomic information, and will improve our understanding of host-crinivirus interactions.

Abstract
Lily symptomless virus (LSV) is one of the most prevalent viruses that infect lily plants worldwide. A rapid and sensitive reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed for detection of LSV, using two primer pairs that specifically amplified the conserved sequence of LSV coat protein. The optimum reaction conditions were as follows: 4mM MgCl2 and 0.8M betaine with incubation at 64°C for 30min. The limit of detection of LSV from infected lily leaves was 10-fold higher for RT-LAMP than for conventional RT-PCR. Moreover, RT-LAMP detected LSV in not only symptomatic, but also in symptomless tissues of infected plants. These findings indicate that our RT-LAMP method for LSV can serve as a low-cost, simple, and rapid alternative to conventional detection assays.

Abstract
Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV), a recently identified bipartite crinivirus, causes economic losses in cucurbit plants. CCYV is naturally transmitted only by whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Here we constructed full-length cDNA clones of CCYV (RNA1 and RNA2) fused to the T7 RNA polymerase promoter and the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. CCYV replicated and accumulated efficiently in Cucumis sativus protoplasts transfected with in vitro transcripts. Without RNA2, RNA1 replicated efficiently in C. sativus protoplasts. Agroinoculation with the infectious cDNA clones of CCYV resulted in systemic infection in the host plants of C. sativus and Nicotiana benthamiana. Virus derived from the infectious clones could be transmitted between cucumber plants by vector whiteflies. This system will greatly enhance the reverse genetic studies of CCYV gene functions.

Abstract
'Torrado' disease caused by tomato torrado virus (ToTV) is responsible for considerable losses in tomato production. Therefore, a one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification protocol for early and fast detection of ToTV isolates has been developed. The RNA extracted from ToTV-infected plants was tested using this protocol with a set of six primers specific for the Vp35 coat protein gene sequence. The amplified products were analyzed using amplification curves, electrophoresis, and direct staining of DNA. The sensitivity of the protocol was tenfold higher than that of conventional RT-PCR. This new protocol is inexpensive, rapid, simple, and very sensitive.

Abstract
Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) of the genus Crinivirus within the family Closteroviridae is an emerging infectious agent of cucurbits leading to severe disease and significant economic losses. Effective detection and identification methods for this virus are urgently required. In this study, a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed to detect CCYV from its vector Bemisia tabaci. LAMP primer sets to detect CCYV were evaluated for their sensitivity and specificity, and a primer set designed from the HSP70h gene with corresponding loop primers were selected. The RT-LAMP assay was applied to detect CCYV from viruliferous B. tabaci trapped on sticky traps. A simple extraction procedure using RNAsecure™ was developed for template preparation. CCYV was detected in all of the B. tabaci 0, 1, 7 and 14 days after they were trapped. Although the rise of turbidity was delayed in reactions using RNA from B. tabaci trapped for 7 and 14 days compared with those from 0 and 1 day, the DNA amplification was sufficient to detect CCYV in all of the samples. These findings therefore present a simple template preparation method and an effective RT-LAMP assay, which can be easily and rapidly performed to monitor CCYV-viruliferous B. tabaci in the field.

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.
