Plant Pathogens

Monilinia laxa detection test kit by using qPCR. Monilinia laxa is responsible for the brown rot blossom blight disease that infects many different types of stone fruit trees, such as apricots, cherries and peaches. M. laxa can colonize blossoms, twigs and fruit, but is generally considered more of a problem on blossoms and twigs.

Monilinia polystroma detection test kit by using qPCR. Monilinia polystroma is responsible for the brown rot blossom blight disease that infects many different types of stone fruit trees, such as apricots, cherries and peaches. M. polystroma is reported to cause rot on both pome and stone fruits.

Phytophthora infestans detection test kit by using qPCR. Phytophtora infestans is a fungal-like oomycete causes the serious potato and tomato disease known as late blight or potato blight, despite it can also infect some other members of the Solanaceae. It is still a difficult disease to control and is an economically relevant plant pathogen spread worldwide.

Pseudomonas syringae detection test kit by using qPCR. Pseudomonas syringae is a plant pathogen with more than 50 different pathovars. It is a nutritionally versatile organism that thrives on damaged plant tissues, and colonizes the surface of plant leaves. The strains that are pathogenic are specific to a particular species of plant, infecting and causing disease through the release of toxins and cell wall degrading enzymes. A sign of pathogenic activity by P. syringae on plant leaves is usually the presence of lesions, spots that develop on leaf surfaces.

Ralstonia solanacearum detection test kit by using qPCR. Ralstonia solanacearum colonizes the xylem, causing bacterial wilt in a very wide range of potential host plants such as potato, tomato, aubergine, banana, geranium, ginger, tobacco, sweet pepper, olive, rose, and soybean. R. solanacearum usually enters the plant by a wound.

Detection test kit of Spiroplasma citri species by using qPCR. Spiroplasma citri is the causative agent of Citrus stubborn disease in plants and can be found either in the gut or hemolymph of insects (vector) or in the phloem of plants.

Verticillium dahliae detection test kit by using qPCR. Verticillium dahlia is a fungal plant pathogen with a cosmopolitan distribution that can infect many plant genera. Agricultural hosts include spinach, strawberries, lettuce, and artichokes, among others. The most common way to introduce V. dahliae in the field is by infected stock being planted. Once the pathogen is in the field it can be moved by wind, water, and soil. This a very difficult pathogen to control because it can persist in the soil for years without a susceptible host. V. dahliae can cause significant losses in yield due to reduced photosynthesis if the plant survives.

Xanthomonas campestris detection test kit by using qPCR. Xanthomonas campestris is known to cause the black rot in crucifers by darkening the vascular tissues, producing a great loss in agriculture. Host associated, over 20 different pathovars of X. campestris have been identified by their distinctive pathogenicity on a wide range of plants including crops and wild plants.

Xylella fastidiosa detection test kit by using qPCR. Xylella fastidiosa is a plant pathogen transmitted exclusively by xylem fluid-feeding insects. Many plant diseases are due to symptomatic infections of X. fastidiosa, including bacterial leaf scorch, oleander leaf scorch, coffee leaf scorch, alfalfa dwarf, phony peach disease, and the economically important ones: Pierce’s disease of grapes and citrus variegated chlorosis.
