Detection of Begomovirus in chilli and tomato plants using functionalized gold nanoparticles

Abstract Begomoviruses are a major class of Geminiviruses that affects most dicotyledonous plants and causes heavy economic losses to farmers. Early detection of begomovirus is essential to control the spread of the disease and prevent loss. Many available detection methods like ELISA, immunosorbent...
