Development of Real-Time PCR for in wood-detection of Ceratocystis platani, the agent of canker stain of Platanus spp.

Ceratocystis platani is a quarantine fungal pathogen agent of canker stain, a destructive disease affecting Platanus. Despite its diagnosis being critical for disease control, there is still no effective diagnostic tool as all known mycological and biological detection assays are problematical. In this study we developed highly effective Real-Time PCR methods based on . . . → Read More: Development of Real-Time PCR for in wood-detection of Ceratocystis platani, the agent of canker stain of Platanus spp.

Development of a quantum dots FRET-based biosensor for efficient detection of Polymyxa betae

Rhizomania is the most destructive disease in sugar beet throughout the world. The disease is caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV). Polymyxa betae (Keskin) is the only known vector of BNYVV, for transmission of the virus between the plants. Developing molecular diagnostic methods has a major impact on forecasting and epidemiological . . . → Read More: Development of a quantum dots FRET-based biosensor for efficient detection of Polymyxa betae

Early detection of gray mold in grape using conventional and molecular methods

Botrytis cinerea affects grape quality and yield, and can be difficult to manage due in part to non-symptomatic, quiescent infection in berry development. The aim of this study was to develop a dual system for the detection, isolation and quantification of B. cinerea. After three days of samples replication on the modified selective . . . → Read More: Early detection of gray mold in grape using conventional and molecular methods

ATP citrate lyase 1 (acl1) gene-based loop-mediated amplification assay for the detection of the Fusarium tricinctum species complex in pure cultures and in cereal samples

The combined data set of the acl1 and tef-1α gene sequences of 61 fungal strains assigned to Fusarium tricinctum, Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium acuminatum, Fusarium arthrosporioides, Fusarium flocciferum and Fusarium torulosum were used to study the phylogenetic relations between taxa. F. tricinctum, F. acuminatum and F. avenaceum formed distinct clades. Members of the F. . . . → Read More: ATP citrate lyase 1 (acl1) gene-based loop-mediated amplification assay for the detection of the Fusarium tricinctum species complex in pure cultures and in cereal samples
