The Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging and rapidly spreading RNA virus that infects tomato and pepper plants, with tomato being the primary host. This virus causes severe crop losses and threatens tomato production worldwide. ToBRFV was first identified in greenhouse-grown tomato plants in Jordan in the spring of 2015, with the earliest outbreak traced back to Israel in 2014. To date, the virus has been reported in at least 35 countries across four continents.
The PhytoDETECT® ToBRFV RT-qPCR Kit enables the detection of ToBRFV 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.
