Biosecurity tools for plant virus detection

DescriptionBiosecurity tools for plant virus detection. Plant viruses are notoriously difficult to detect and present a significant economic risk to New Zealand’s productive industries. However, an innovative research project by Anastasija Chomic a PhD student at the Bio-Protection Research Centre, has resulted in the development of molecular tools that could help to keep new viruses out of the country. Supervised by Dr Karen Armstrong and funded through the Better Border Biosecurity programme, Ana’s PhD project focused on developing a faster and more sensitive detection method for members of the Luteoviridae virus family. Project: Molecular detection of Luteoviridae. Researchers: Anastasija Chomic, Dr Karen Armstrong, Professor John Hampton, Associate Professor Mike Pearson (University of Auckland).Corporate AuthorLincoln UniversityPersonA. ChomicK. ArmstrongJ.
