A new large scale soil DNA extraction procedure and real-time PCR assay for the detection of Sclerotium cepivorum in soil

A real-time PCR assay specific for Sclerotium cepivorum, the causal agent of white rot in onions, was developed for use with a new DNA extraction method capable of processing up to 1 kg of soil in weight. The assay was specific for S. cepivorum when tested against 24 isolates representative of 14 closely . . . → Read More: A new large scale soil DNA extraction procedure and real-time PCR assay for the detection of Sclerotium cepivorum in soil
