Description

Coconut Tinangaja Viroid (CTiVd) Probe Realtime RT-PCR Kit is designed for the quantitative detection of its specific DNA in a real-time PCR test using hydrolysis probes. In the amplification process, Taq DNA polymerase amplifies the DNA sample via quantitative PCR using a primer-probe set that targets its specific DNA region. At each cycle of the PCR, the 5' nuclease activity of Taq DNA polymerase degrades the bound probes, releasing the quenched specific FAM signal. The increase in FAM fluorescence measures the target gene-specific DNA amplifications. At a point where the fluorescence signal is confidently detected over the background signal, a Ct value can be determined for the FAM signal. This Ct parameter can be used to evaluate relative target abundance among samples.

Application Areas

Coconut crop health management: high-sensitivity RT‑qPCR screening of coconut palms, seedlings and nursery stock for early detection of Coconut Tinangaja Viroid to support disease management, on-farm biosecurity and yield protection.
Phytosanitary testing and quarantine screening: routine surveillance of planting material, imported/exported coconuts and propagation material to certify material as viroid-free and to prevent international/regional spread.
Plant pathology research and diagnostic development: quantitative viroid-load measurements for epidemiology, host-range studies, assay validation and development of diagnostic workflows in research and diagnostic laboratories.
