Detection of Potato virus Y in pepper by ELISA-RT-nested PCR [Capsicum annuum L.; Tunisia]

We describe a reliable method to improve the detection of potato virus Y in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), based on nested PCR performed after an ELISA-RT-PCR stage. Many problems were overcome by this approach, particularly the ones due to PCR inhibitory compounds, which seem to be abundant in pepper...

Mediante questo approccio sono stati superati molti problemi, in particolare quelli dovuti a composti inibitori della PCR, che sembrano essere abbondanti nel peperone.]
