Using the PathoSEEK Cannabis Virus Multiplex Assay, the team was able to
- Confirm that a viral infection was causing plants to show signs of “dudding”
- Identify which plants are infected with Lettuce Chlorosis Virus (LCV) and/or Hops Latent Viroid (HLVd)
- Implement a new screening protocol of mother plants to ensure clean cuttings and prevent future outbreaks
