Abstract excerpt
Quinoa downy mildew, caused by Peronospora variabilis, is the most devastating disease of quinoa globally. Rapid, sensitive diagnostic methods are needed to detect and quantify this pathogen in seeds and plant tissue. A hydrolysis probe-based quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay including a competitive internal control was developed for P. variabilis detection. This assay could detect as low as 20 ag of DNA or...
