Abstract
We developed new PCR assays that target beta-tubulin (TUB2) and 14 alpha-demethylase (CYP51) genes and used them for the species-specific detection of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). Based on fungi DNA sequences available in the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) GenBank database we developed simplex and duplex PCR assays. The specificities of the primer sets were evaluated using environmental samples of wheat leaves collected during the 2015/2016 growing season across Poland. Primer sets LidBg17/18 and LidBg21/22 strongly amplified fragments of the expected length for all 67 tested samples. Primer specificity was confirmed using field samples of Zymoseptoria tri-tici, Puccinia triticina (syn. P. recondita f. sp. tritici), P. striiformis f. sp. tritici, and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis.
期刊介绍:
We are entering a new and exciting era of microbiological study and application. Recent advances in the now established disciplines of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics, together with extensive cooperation between academic and industrial concerns have brought about an integration of basic and applied microbiology as never before.
