Quantification of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus <i> Glomus intraradices</i> in host tissue using real‐time polymerase chain reaction
30 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
• A rapid method to quantify the colonization of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Glomus intraradices in planta using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) technique. • Specific PCR primers for the fungus (28S rDNA sequence) and host root tissue (chitinase and chalcone synthase gene) were developed and their respective specificity determined. • The plant specific primers for...
