Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Murine norovirus rapidly internalized into green onion root tissues within 1 h of exposure.
- Observation Murine norovirus viral loads peaked in green onion roots and persisted for at least 21 days post-inoculation.
- Intervention effect A single water exchange decreased murine norovirus load within green onion tissues, although viral genomes stayed detectable for up to 21 days.
- Intervention effect Repeated water exchanges cleared murine norovirus from green onion leaves and stems.
- Intervention effect Repeated water exchanges failed to eradicate murine norovirus entirely from green onion roots.
- Observation Immunofluorescence localized murine norovirus predominantly within green onion xylem and phloem vessels.
- Observation Murine norovirus particles persisted on green onion root hair surfaces despite rigorous washing.
- Recommendation The authors recommend stringent pre-harvest preventive strategies to mitigate viral contamination in hydroponic green onion cultivation.
