Via Scoop.it – PCR PRIMERS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PHYTOPATHOGENIC FUNGI

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi (Fod), is the most important carnation disease worldwide. The knowledge of the diversity of the soil population of the pathogen is essential for the choice of suitable resistant cultivars. We examined the genetic diversity . . . → Read More: Molecular analysis of Spanish populations of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi demonstrates a high genetic diversity and identifies virulence groups in races 1 and 2 of the pathogen

Development of specific primers for genus Fusarium and F. solani using rDNA sub-unit and transcription elongation factor (TEF-1α) gene.

Detection of Fusarium solani causal agent of wilt and rots in many plant species are difficult if based only on morphological characteristics. Beside this, morphological discrimination requires special skill and the expertise of taxonomists or specialists. To simplify the detection and discrimination of F. solani from other Fusarium species, end-point polymerase chain . . . → Read More: Development of specific primers for genus Fusarium and F. solani using rDNA sub-unit and transcription elongation factor (TEF-1α) gene.

SCAR-based real-time TaqMan PCR for early detection of Fusarium oxysporum in melon seedlings under greenhouse nursery conditions

By Stefano Ghignone, on April 10th, 2012

Isolates of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum cause some of the most devastating plant diseases, leading to significant crop losses in both the greenhouse nursery and field environments. Because of this, tools that permit early pathogen detection are essential. This study develops such a tool. A specific primer set (FOX S and FOX R) and . . . → Read More: SCAR-based real-time TaqMan PCR for early detection of Fusarium oxysporum in melon seedlings under greenhouse nursery conditions
