A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular method to detect Phomopsis sclerotioides in soil was developed using a species-specific primer pair. To improve sensitivity of the detection, three PCR techniques were used; namely, nested PCR using the primer pair internal transcribed spacer (ITS)1 . . . → Read More: Detection of Phomopsis sclerotioides in Commercial Cucurbit Field Soil by Nested Time-Release PCR
By Stefano Ghignone, on May 14th, 2012 ScienceDirect.com – Mycological Research – Identification of the causal agent of Verticillium wilt of winter oilseed rape in Sweden, V. longisporum.
Morphological characters and genetic relationships were studied among 36 Verticillium isolates derived from different host species. Conidial length varied from 3.5 μm to 12 μm and the DNA content ranged from 0.028 pg . . . → Read More: Identification of the causal agent of Verticillium wilt of winter oilseed rape in Sweden, V. longisporum

The genus Phytophthora consists of many species that cause important diseases in ornamental, agronomic, and forest ecosystems worldwide. Molecular methods have been developed for detection and identification of one or several species of Phytophthora in single or multiplex reactions. In this article, . . . → Read More: A Universal Microarray Detection Method for Identification of Multiple Phytophthora spp. Using Padlock Probes

Unlike bacterial toxins that are primarily peptides and are therefore encoded by a single gene, fungal toxins such as the aflatoxins are multi-ring structures and therefore require a sequence of structural genes for their biological synthesis. There is therefore no specific PCR . . . → Read More: PCR detection of aflatoxin producing fungi and its limitations

Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin produced by some species of Fusarium, especially by Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum. ZEA induces hyperoestrogenic responses in mammals and can result in reproductive disorders in farm animals. In the present study, a real-time PCR (qPCR) assay . . . → Read More: Quantification of Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum by real-time PCR system and zearalenone assessment in maize
