Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus (CGMMV) is a pathogen belonging to the family Virgaviridae that affects a wide range of cucurbit crops, especially cucumbers, melons, and squash. It is characterized by causing green mosaic spots on the leaves, fruit deformation, and overall stunted growth of the plant, resulting in significant losses in yield and quality in the affected crops. CGMMV is highly contagious and is easily transmitted through direct contact between plants, contaminated agricultural tools, and infected seeds. Early detection with effective diagnostic tools is essential to manage the spread of this virus and minimize its economic impact on agriculture.
The PhytoDETECT® CGMMV RT-qPCR Kit enables the detection of CGMMV through a real-time quantitative RT-PCR reaction. The kit includes a master mix containing the necessary enzymes, optimized primers and probes, as well as a DNA-based positive amplification control (PAC) to ensure that the PCR amplification is performed efficiently with the supplied components.
