SYBR Green RT-PCR was performed in a 96 well plate using 1 ml of each of the cDNA dilutions for TSV and YHV detection along with EF-1a and b-actin controls following the reaction parameters as described above. The analytical sensitivity of SYBR Green PCR was determined by using a serial dilution of TSV and YHV plasmid DNA as template for amplification. The SYBR Green RT-PCR was not only highly sensitive but also very specific for detecting TSV, YHV and the internal control genes, EF-1a and b-actin. ./cache/cord-265634-7n4cvgs4.txt ./txt/cord-265634-7n4cvgs4.txt
