Key Findings
- Researchers at PAUSTI developed a rapid and highly sensitive RT-LAMP assay to detect Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) in tomato samples
- The RT-LAMP assay can detect ToMV within 4 minutes and 45 seconds, showing 1,000-fold higher sensitivity than the conventional RT-PCR method
- The assay's high sensitivity and specificity make it a valuable tool for on-site detection, aiding in effective ToMV management and control
