A virus causing a serious disease of citrus, especially Kinnow mandarin, in India. The virus (an isolate named K1) was obtained in 1996 from a Kinnow mandarin tree showing bright yellow ringspots on mature leaves.
Unit: vial containing lyophilized pieces of leaves
The 3' terminal 217 nts of Aeonium ringspot virus RNA1 and RNA2 (excluding the poly(A) tail) are cloned in pGEM-T Easy allowing for transcription of a riboprobe to detect both genomic RNAs.
Unit: 2 micrograms of plasmid DNA, allowing for the synthesis of a probe after T7-driven transcription
