Symptom-Based Panel

Leaf Deformation Panel

About this product

The Leaf Deformation Pathogen Panel™ is designed to test for pathogens associated with abnormal leaf development and distorted new growth. This multiplex qPCR pathogen panel assay screens for Beet Curly Top Virus (BCTV), Alfalfa Mosaic Virus (AMV), and Pythium myriotylum in a single test, reducing guesswork, cost, and diagnostic time.

  • Alfalfa Mosaic Virus
  • Arabis Mosaic Virus
  • Beet Curly Top Virus

The Leaf Deformation Pathogen Panel™ is a multiplex molecular diagnostic assay developed to investigate irregular leaf shape, cupping, and distorted new growth that cannot be explained by nutrition or environmental conditions alone. These symptoms are frequently misattributed to nutrient imbalance, lighting stress, or environmental fluctuation, allowing underlying infections to persist undetected.

This panel simultaneously detects:

  • Beet Curly Top Virus (BCTV), a viral pathogen associated with leaf curling, stunting, and distorted growth patterns.
  • Alfalfa Mosaic Virus (AMV), linked to leaf deformation, mottling, and reduced plant vigor.
  • Pythium myriotylum, a root-associated pathogen that can contribute to stress-induced deformities through impaired root function.

Using sensitive and specific qPCR technology, this panel provides reliable detection from a single sample with rapid turnaround times. The Leaf Deformation Pathogen Panel™ helps confirm or rule out infectious contributors to abnormal growth, enabling informed, targeted corrective action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know to test your plants with us.

What is MF Detect™ Precision+?

MF Detect™ Precision+ is MyFloraDNA’s proprietary RT-qPCR (TaqMan-based) diagnostic technology designed for ultra-high sensitivity, reliability, and actionable pathogen detection.

What sensitivity does MF Detect™ Precision+ achieve?

MF Detect™ Precision+ can detect pathogen genetic material down to approximately 2 copies, enabling true early detection.

Why is ultra-high sensitivity important in plant diagnostics?

It allows detection of infections before visible symptoms appear, reducing pathogen spread, crop loss, and operational risk.

Is MF Detect™ qualitative or quantitative?

MF Detect™ is quantitative and reports CT values and, when applicable, estimated copy numbers.

What chemistry does MF Detect™ use?

MF Detect™ uses TaqMan RT-qPCR chemistry for high specificity and low background noise.

How fast are results delivered?

Typically within 1–3 business days from sample arrival.
