Real-Time Fluorescent Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Phytophthora ramorum and Phytophthora pseudosyringae Using Mitochondrial Gene Regions.
ABSTRACT A real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection method for the sudden oak death pathogen Phytophthora ramorum was developed based on mitochondrial DNA sequence with an ABI Prism 7700 (TaqMan) Sequence Detection System. Primers and probes were also developed for detecting P. pseudosyringae, a newly described species that causes symptoms similar to P. ramorum on certain...
متن کاملDetection and Quantification of Phytophthora ramorum from California Forests Using a Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay.
ABSTRACT The timely and accurate detection of pathogens is a critical aid in the study of the epidemiology and biology of plant diseases. In the case of regulated organisms, the availability of a sensitive and reliable assay is essential when trying to achieve early detection of the pathogen. We developed and tested a real-time, nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the detection of ...
متن کاملOn-site DNA extraction and real-time PCR for detection of Phytophthora ramorum in the field.
Phytophthora ramorum is a recently described pathogen causing oak mortality (sudden oak death) in forests in coastal areas of California and southern Oregon and dieback and leaf blight in a range of tree, shrub, and herbaceous species in the United States and Europe. Due to the threat posed by this organism, stringent quarantine regulations are in place, which restrict the movement of a number ...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Phytophthora ramorum by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Using TaqMan, SYBR Green, and Molecular Beacons.
ABSTRACT Sudden oak death, caused by Phytophthora ramorum, is a severe disease that affects many species of trees and shrubs. This pathogen is spreading rapidly and quarantine measures are currently in place to prevent dissemination to areas that were previously free of the pathogen. Molecular assays that rapidly detect and identify P. ramorum frequently fail to reliably distinguish between P. ...

Phytophthora ramorum, the causal agent of sudden oak death (SOD) is a quarantine pathogen that has forced the implementation of extraordinary measures to track and contain the movement of infected nursery stock both within and outside of the three western states of California, Oregon and Washington. Federal guidelines in the United States for diagnostic testing of P. ramorum are in place to ins...
