Detection and Simultaneous Differentiation of Three Co-infected Viruses in Zanthoxylum armatum.

ABSTRACT: Green Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum armatum) is an important economic fruit crop, which is widely planted in the southwest region of China. Recently, a serious disease, namely flower yellowing disease (FYD), broke out, and the virus of green Sichuan pepper nepovirus (GSPNeV) was identified to be highly correlated with the viral symptoms. Meanwhile, green Sichuan pepper idaeovirus (GSPIV) and green Sichuan pepper enamovirus (GSPEV) were also common viruses infecting green pepper. In our research, specific primers were designed according to the reported sequences of the three viruses, and a multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method for the simultaneous detection of GSPNeV, GSPIV, and GSPEV was established. The annealing temperature, extension time, and cy
