Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is a plant virus belongs to the genus of Tobamovirus and it is first described in 2015. It has spread rapidly since it was first noted in Jordan and Israel. The main hosts are tomato and peppers. The virus causes symptoms including mosaic and distortion of leaves and brown, wrinkly spots (rugose) on fruits. Outbreaks of this virus can cause huge economical losses. This is an RNA virus and with this specially designed RT-qPCR kit, it can be detected with Real-Time PCR instruments. This kit contains gene-specific primers and its probe relies on TaqMan Technology. Specifically, the primers and probe represent 100% homology with over 95% of the NCBI database reference sequences available at the time of design. Along with the simple protocol, this feature makes it easy to obtain quick, reliable and rapid results to its users. Letgen Biotech ToBRFV RT-qPCR assay is validated to be used with the following PCR Instruments: LightCycler 480 II, Stratagene Mx3005P, Bio-Rad CFX 96, Roche LC96, Qiagen Rotor-Gene.
