Multiplexed RT-PCR for streamlined detection and separation of barley and cereal yellow dwarf viruses.

Two novel multiplexed RT-PCR assays that can efficiently detect and distinguish among different barley and cereal yellow dwarf viruses (B/CYDVs) are described. The basic multiplex can produce two fragments simultaneously, a approximately 830-bp fragment indicating the presence of the BYDV-PAV, BYDV-MAV, or BYDV-SGV viruses and a approximately 372-bp fragment indicating the presence of the CYDV-RPV, BYDV-RMV, or BYDV-GPV viruses. The enhanced multiplex produces two additional fragments, which further differentiate between BYDV-PAV, BYDV-MAV, and BYDV-SGV. These assays fulfill the critical need for a streamlined diagnostic procedure for B/CYDVs that can be cost-effectively applied to large numbers of small samples. The assays are useful not only in the basic diagnosis of B/CYDVs, but also for studies examining the ecological roles of B/CYDVs in natural systems and for longer-term epidemiological studies of grasses and cereals.

The rice metallothionein gene promoter does not direct foreign gene expression in seed endosperm.

We generated transgenic tobacco and rice plants harboring a chimeric gene consisting of the 5'-upstream sequence of the rice metallothionein gene (ricMT) fused to the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. The activity and tissue-specific expression of the ricMT promoter were demonstrated in these transgenic plants. In the transgenic rice plants, despite substantial levels of GUS activity in the shoot and root, almost no GUS signal was detected in the endosperm. Thus, the ricMT promoter could be useful in avoiding accumulation of undesired proteins in the seed endosperm.
