The universal primer of Luteovirus was designed and synthesized.An experimental system of RT PCR RFLP was developed in barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDVs).BYDVs can be distinguished qualitatively by RT PCR method.It was seen that different serotypes of BYDVs have critical different RFLP patters when the PCR producs were digested by restriction enzyme HinfI.The RFLP patterns of 7 isolates of PAV serotype were greatly different.These results indicate there existed sequence variations among different serotypes of BYDVs and vector phenotypes of PAV serotype.There is no difference between MAV serotypes in RFLP analysis.The slight distinction in the segment of coat protein gene of BYDVs can be revealed by RT PCR RFLP system.
