Abstract:
:Rhizomania is one of serious threat to sugar beet production in Morocco and in several parts of the world. This disease led to a statistically significant decrease in the quality and yield of sugar beet plantations. Therefore, this study aimed at comparing the efficacy of six commonly used RNA extraction methods for the detection, recovery of RNA of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and removal of amplification inhibitors by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The efficiency of these extraction methods was then compared to that of a commercial isolation kit with high content of phenolic compounds. The results showed that the extraction with the lithium chloride technique, the commercial kit, and direct and membrane spotting crude extract methods were found effective in yielding a higher purity and a higher concentration of RNA when compared to the other tested methods. Extraction with the lithium chloride technique and the Qiagen kit (RNeasy Plant Mini Kit) allowed the most intense band, whereas the CTAB method has generated the least intense band. Furthermore, the silica capture extraction method did not yield any RNA after extraction and electrophoresis. Consequently, it was concluded that, of these six methods, the lithium chloride technique and the Qiagen kit are the most appropriate for the extraction of viral RNA from sugar beet samples prior to RT-PCR for detecting BNYVV.
