Molecular diagnostics for the detection of strawberry viruses in Australia

Biotechnology Research and Development in Academia: providing the foundation for Egypt's Biotechnology spectrum of colors. Sixteenth Annual American University in Cairo Research Conference, American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt

“…From the agricultural biotechnology aspect they also discussed genotyping Egyptian barley resistant to net blotch disease [9], biopesticides and biofertilizers, Virus-free potato seeds, tissue culture plants and transgenic plants and have outlined them as the focus of research and development in their organization and further work is continued to develop plants resistant to stresses and infections. Rose Lines, from the Department of Primary Industries, Victoria, Australia discussed molecular diagnostics tools used in the identification of strawberry viruses in Australia [10,11]. The idea was to develop an effective, rapid and less costly process for the indexing of the strawberry nucleus collection in Victoria.…”
