Seasonal colonisation of apple trees by ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma mali' revealed by a new quantitative TaqMan real-time PCR approach
2011-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Apple proliferation (AP), caused by ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma mali', is an economically important disease affecting many apple-growing areas in Europe. A new TaqMan real-time PCR assay was established for absolute quantification of ‘Ca. P. mali' by using a single-copy gene of the host plant as a reference, which is amplified with the pathogen DNA in a single-tube reaction. Normalised estimates of phytoplasma concent...
