Development of a real-time PCR assay for Pseudomonas cichorii, the causal agent of midrib rot in greenhouse-grown lettuce, and its detection in irrigating water
2011-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Midrib rot is an emerging disease in greenhouse production of lettuce caused by Pseudomonas cichorii, and probably introduced through contaminated irrigation water. Concentrations of 100 CFU mL⁻¹ are enough to induce the typical midrib rot symptoms. A sensitive real-time PCR assay was developed, based on a 90-bp amplicon from the pathogenicity gene cluster hrcRST and a Taqman Minor Groove Binding probe. Specificit...
