FIGURE 1.
References of multiplex detection assays in the period 2005–2018. Number of references that use RT-PCR (yellow), real-time RT-PCR SYBR (green), and real-time RT-PCR TaqMan (light green) are represented against the number of pathogens detected by these techniques. Source used was the Web of Science (all database) and the parameters used for the searching were: (multiplex or simultaneous or polyvalent) and detection and (plant virus or viroid).
