Quantitative phenotyping of grey leaf spot disease in maize using real-time PCR
2012-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Grey leaf spot is an important maize foliar disease caused by the fungal pathogens Cercospora zeae-maydis and Cercospora zeina. Although methods exist to detect these Cercospora species in maize, current techniques do not allow quantification of the fungi in planta. We developed a real-time SYBR® Green PCR assay for quantification of grey leaf spot disease in maize based on the amplification of a fragment of a cyt...
