Detection of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri from field samples using single-tube nested PCR
2011-06-01
Abstract excerpt
A single-tube nested PCR was developed for detection of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), the causal agent of citrus canker disease. The assay targets the pthA gene of Xcc and utilizes different annealing temperatures for the two primer pairs. It reliably detected as few as 1·0 × 10² Xcc cells, and was unaffected by the presence of PCR inhibitors. It was 10-fold and 8500-fold more sensitive than standard PCR a...
