RESUMO
A differential detection reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (DD-RT-LAMP) method was developed to detect either Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) or Japanese soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (JSBWMV) simultaneously. Both primer sets, which recognized either BaYMV or JSBWMV genomic RNA, amplified DNA more efficiently at 65°C using an isothermal DNA amplification and fluorescence detection device. Furthermore, these primer sets showed unique annealing curves. The peak annealing temperatures of BaYMV and JSBWMV amplification products using specific primer sets were 86.9°C-87.7°C and 84.5°C-85.0°C, respectively, and were clearly distinguishable during an annealing step following the isothermal amplification, monitored using a fluorescence detection device. In the field samples of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) tested, BaYMV or JSBWMV were detected by DD-RT-LAMP, and the detection results of DD-RT-LAMP were correspondent with the results of reverse transcription-PCR.
