Article Optimization of Cdna Amplification of Apricot Latent Virus (Aplv) From Various Plant Tissues Sources(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2007) Gumus, M.; Sipahioǧlu, H.M.; Paylan, I.C.; Erkan, S.Although the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure is basically simple operation, often it is not possible to achieve optimum results without optimizing the protocols. An RT-PCR method targeting a 200 bp sequence of the CP gene of Apricot Latent Virus (ApLV) was used as a model to improve the detection limit and to compare the behavior of three different plant tissues in a RT-PCR assay. A number of factors should be considered when selecting the optimal system for RT-PCR. Important considerations include the optimal concentrations of MgCl2, dNTP, Taq DNA polymerase enzyme, specific primer and the amount of cDNA for the downstream applications. This study therefore discusses a series of critical PCR parameters and feasible strategies for optimization of RT-PCR detection of ApLV. © 2007 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
