Abstract excerpt
The pathogen causing corky root on lettuce, Sphingobium suberifaciens, is recalcitrant to standard epidemiological methods. Primers were developed from 16S rDNA sequences to be useful for the specific detection and quantification of S. suberifaciens. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) protocols specifically amplified DNA from the type strain of S. suberifaciens (LMG 17323) and other members of this species but not from...
