Preparation and characterization of polyclonal antibody against resting spores of Olpidium virulentus, fungal vector of lettuce big-vein disease
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Research on Olpidium virulentus, the vector of the serious lettuce big-vein disease, is difficult because its resting spores persist in soil and retain virus for years and the fungus is not culturable. We developed protocols to obtain purified, viable resting spores from infected roots using an enzymatic treatment and two-step density gradient centrifugation and to generate a polyclonal antibody against these spor...
