HOP MOSAIC VIRUS GENE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HOP MOSAIC VIRUS

摘要

The hop mosaic virus (HMV) gene has been isolated and purified, and the base sequence thereof elucidated. HMV can be detected by simple and accurate methods using nucleic sequences from the isolated HMV gene. These methods are especially useful for detecting HMV infection in plants. Using the methods provided by the present invention, it is possible to detect HMV more simply and accurately as compared to the conventional immunological methods, such as ELISA.
