We describe primers and conditions used in a duplex assay for Pea seedborne mosaic virus (PSbMV)-infection of pea seed as an example of the utility of the system for RT-PCR screening of plant germplasm for the presence or absence of a virus.enPisum sativum; Potyvirus; PSbMV diagnostic RT-PCR primers; TMV RT-PCR primersTobacco mosaic virus RNA as an internal control for duplex RT-PCR assay of pea germplasmJournal article002001003810.1071/AP01028
