Development of a rapid, sensitive, and field-deployable Razor Ex BioDetection system and quantitative PCR assay for detection of Phymatotrichopsis omnivora using multiple gene targets
Arif, M.; Fletcher, J.; Marek, S. M.; Melcher, U.; Ochoa-Corona, F. M. (American Society for Microbiology, 2013-04)A validated, multigene-based method using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and the Razor Ex BioDetection system was developed for detection of Phymatotrichopsis omnivora. This soilborne fungus causes Phymatotrichopsis ... -
Genomic comparison of plant pathogenic and nonpathogenic Serratia marcescens strains by suppressive subtractive hybridization
Zhang, Q.; Melcher, U.; Zhou, L.; Najar, F. Z.; Roe, B. A.; Fletcher, J. (American Society for Microbiology, 2005-12)Cucurbit yellow vine disease (CYVD) is caused by disease-associated Serratia marcescens strains that have phenotypes significantly different from those of nonphytopathogenic strains. To identify the genetic differences ... -
Primer modification improves rapid and sensitive in vitro and field-deployable assays for detection of High plains virus variants
Arif, M.; Aguilar-Moreno, G. S.; Wayadande, A.; Fletcher, J.; Ochoa-Corona, F. M. (American Society for Microbiology, 2014-01)A high consequence pathogen, High plains virus (HPV) causes considerable damage to wheat if the crop is infected during early stages of development. Methods for the early, accurate, and sensitive detection of HPV in plant ...
