The isolation of viral replicative form (RF) double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a classic technique for plant virus detection when the virus species cannot be predicted from disease symptoms. However, the method has not been very widely used, most likely because dsRNA isolation using CF-11 cellulose is laborious and time-consuming. Here we report an alternative tool, a recombinant plant dsRNA-binding protein, to isolate dsRNA. This tool enables us to isolate viral RF dsRNA in an hour from either extracted nucleic acids or crude detergent extracts. Combining this technique with sequence-non-specific reverse transcription, PCR amplification, cloning, and sequencing, a variety of viruses were efficiently detected using a single set of reagents and procedures.
