One-Step Reverse-Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) Assay for the Detection of Canna Yellow Streak Virus.

Canna yellow streak virus (CaYSV) is a potyvirus that causes severe damage to the ornamental plant canna in the United Kingdom and Brazil. Here, we identified CaYSV in China by isolating total RNA from an infected plant, amplifying the virus genome segments, and cloning and sequencing the amplicons. After assembly, the full-length genome of the virus was obtained and uploaded to the NCBI database.

Molecular characterization of a novel partitivirus isolated from .

is a widely distributed plant pathogen that can damage many crops. Here, we identified a novel mycovirus tentatively named Rhizoctonia solani partitivirus 433 (RsPV433) from an (AG-3) strain which caused tobacco target spot disease on flue-cured tobacco. RsPV433 was consisted of two dsRNA segments with lengths of 2450 and 2273 bp, which encoded an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a coat protein, respectively.
