HOP LATENT VIROID

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Hop Latent Viroid

Hop latent viroid (HLVd) is a plant pathogen that causes hop stunt disease, leading to stunted growth, reduced flower production, and overall poor quality hops. HLVd affects the agricultural sector, specifically the hop industry, and early detection is crucial to prevent yield loss and crop devastation. Failure to detect HLVd early can result in significant economic losses for hop growers.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect HLVd allows for sensitive and specific identification of the viroid in hop plants, enabling growers to quickly implement management strategies to control the spread of the disease. Early detection of HLVd not only helps in preserving crop yield and quality but also minimizes the financial impact on the agricultural sector.
