Incidence, distribution and characteristics of major tomato leaf curl and mosaic virus diseases used were Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) DNA as a general probe for geminiviruses (Gilbertson et al., 1991) and TYLCV-EG DNA provided by Professor D.P Maxwell’s laboratory (Nakhla et al., 1993) as specific probe for TYLCV-Is (Padidam et al., 1995). 3.2.2.2.2 Virus Characterization Using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Samples that tested positive to DNA hybridisation were further analysed using polymerase chain reactions with various general and specific primers to determine presence and identity of geminiviruses (Navot et al., 1992; Briddon and Markham, 1994; Wyatt and Brown, 1996). 3.2.2.2.2.1 Sample Preparation for Polymerase Chain Reaction To extract DNA from samples bearing leaf curl and/or yellow mottling, a minipreparation technique developed by Dellaporta et al. (1983) was used. A dry leaf disc sample, about 1 cm in diameter was used per eppendorf tube per sample for extraction of clean total DNA. The DNA was dried in a vacum centrifuge Speed-Vac® Savant, for 5-7 min to concentrate and dry it. The dry pellet was re-suspended in 100 µl of distilled water. In the case of dirty brown pellets, instead of re-suspending in water, the latter pellets were re-suspended in 500 µl of Dellaporta buffer and the whole extraction procedure was repeated to remove all salts that cause browning and hinder PCR reaction. 3.2.2.2.2.2 DNA Fragment Amplification Extracted DNA, in a 50 µl reaction mixture (28 µl of double-distilled water, 5 µl of 10xdNTPs, 5 µl of 10x buffer, 5 µl of 10x MgC12, 0.2 µl of Taq DNA polymerase, 1µl of each primer, 5 µl of Dellaporta DNA and overlaid with 100 µl of mineral oil was amplified in a Pelkin-Elmer Thermocycler run at 94 ºC for 1 min, 55 ºC for 2 min, and 72 ºC for 2 min, for 30 cycles and 94 ºC for 1 min, 55 ºC for 2 min, and 72 ºC for 4 min, in one cycle. The reaction was then held at 18 ºC (Nakhla et al., 1998). By repeated 64

Incidence, distribution and characteristics of major tomato leaf curl and mosaic virus diseases denaturation (94 ºC), hybridisation or annealing (55 ºC) and extension (72 ºC), target DNA fragments were amplified with their sizes doubling after each cycle. Oligonucleotide primers used for general detection of tomato geminivirus were PAL1V 1978 and PAR1c 715, PAR AV 494 and PAR AC 1048 (Rojas et al., 1993; Nakhla et al., 1993; Wyatt and Brown, 1996) as shown in Table 3.3. Specific primers used to test for TYLCV-Is were PTYCRv 21 and PTYC Rc 287; PTYC2v 1499 and PTYAL1c 2196; PTYV2v 466 and PTYC 2c 1814.
