Detection of mRNA by reverseâtranscription PCR as an indicator of viability in Phytophthora ramorum
2012-02-01
Abstract excerpt
In the last few decades, the use of molecular tools has greatly improved the efficiency of plant disease diagnosis. However, one of the major setbacks of most molecular diagnostic approaches is their inability to differentiate between dead and viable pathogens. We propose a new strategy for the detection of plant pathogens, based on the use of mRNA as a viability marker, on the basis that mRNA degradation in dead...
