Project Number: 5354-21220-010-05
Project Type: Specific Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 25, 2007
End Date: Jul 31, 2012

Objective:
Develop new hybridization-based assays that can be used for rapid detection and identification of Potato virus Y (PVY) strains.

Approach:
Diverse strains of PVY will be used to produce new probes for a recently developed hybridization-based macroarray assay designed to detect and differentiate strains of PVY. These probes will be tested for virus strain specificity using a large panel of characterized PVY isolates available to the cooperator as leaf or tuber tissue. Documents SCA with CORNELL UNIVERSITY.
