Test Label: Biotin labeled primer / Fam labeled probe. Test Format: AmplifyRP Acceler8. AmplifyRP Acceler8 for LChV2 is a rapid RNA amplification and detection platform designed for field-based or laboratory testing of cherry crops for Little cherry virus 2. Little cherry virus 2 (LChV2) is the causal agent of little cherry disease in sweet cherry and is found in North America and other parts of the world (Mekuria et al, 2014). The pathogen is a mealybug-transmitted virus and does not induce significant foliar symptoms in most sweet cherry cultivars, but does cause virus-infected trees to yield unevenly ripened small fruits with poor flavor (Mekuria et al, 2014).
