Abstract
Specific and sensitive cDNA probes have been developed for detection of both FDV and SCMV in diseased sugarcane plants. Results from glasshouse evaluation indicate that FDV probes are not sensitive enough to be used for the detection of the virus in asymptomatic diseased plants. Results are not yet available from the SCMV probe glasshouse trial.
