Welcome to the first on-line searchable database of primer sets useful for the detection of plant pathogenic fungi.<\/p>\n

The idea was inspired by the article “THE THREE Ds OF PCR-BASED GENOMIC ANALYSIS OF PHYTOBACTERIA: Diversity,Detection, and Disease Diagnosis<\/a><\/strong>” by FJ Louws (1999), in which the authors listed a short but comprehensive collection of primer sets for the detection and identification of phytopathogenic bacteria.<\/p>\n

The collection of specific primers for plant pathogenic fungi was first published as a table on an italian specialized journal of national circulation [Ghignone S. and Migheli Q. (2001) Nuovi strumenti di diagnosi per i funghi fitopatogeni -tecniche basate sull’analisi degli acidi nucleici. Informatore Fitopatologico<\/em> 51<\/strong> (3):7-22], and later expanded and organized as a searchable database.<\/p>\n

The database is currently curated by dr. Stefano Ghignone<\/strong>, researcher at Istituto per la Protezione Sostenibile delle Piante<\/a> – Turin Unit (CNR) and dr. Quirico Migheli<\/strong>, Professor at University of Sassari<\/a>, and is open to user contributions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In February 2012, the site moved on a new server and its look has been updated. In February 2023, the site undergo further development and updates, after moving to an even newer location.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

While the database currently devoted to fungal organisms, in a future perspective ( this future is very close, stay tuned! ) the database may host primer sets specific to other phytopathogens, such as viruses or bacteria, including microbial herbicides and biological agents relevant in agroterrorism.<\/p>\n
