9. Why use Next Generation Sequencing
Technologies?
because it’s rapid, accurate and efficient
Advantages:
Extremely rapid: generates millions of reads in a few hours
Very efficient: Sequences produced from an infected plant will
include sequences from any pathogens present (viruses, viroids,
fungi and bacteria)
Very sensitive: Unknown viruses or very low titer asymptomatic
species can be seen for the first time.
Unbiased: no cloning stage biases
Cost effectiveness: more than 20 million reads for less than $1500
32. Qualification of Russell Ranch Foundation Vines –
Grapevine Disease Testing Protocol 2010
1) Microshoot tip tissue culture therapy
2) Negative test results - long list of
pathogens - index, herbaceous, ELISA
and PCR tests
3) Agrobacterium vitis testing at Cornell
