%X <p>The vision of the CRCNPB post-entry quarantine (PEQ) project is to develop advanced molecular diagnostic methods for the detection of plant viruses that can be expediently applied in both a PEQ (import) and a market access (export) context. In phase I of this project (18 months duration), the project team; i) conducted a review of the importation processes of cereals into Australia and New Zealand, ii) designed and validated molecular tests that target groups of plant viruses that pose a threat to the grain&rsquo;s industry and iii) investigated the application of Flinders Technology Associates (FTA) card technologies for rapid and safe collection and storage of plant virus samples and viral ribonucleic acid (RNA).</p>
