Filed:

Appl. No.:

10/401343

Inventors:

Charles Jason Barnett - Research Triangle Park NC, US
James Joseph Beck - Research Triangle Park NC, US

Assignee:

Syngenta Participations AG - Basel

International Classification:

C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

435 6

Abstract:

Primers specific for races of pathogenic fungi which are resistant to certain fungicides are used in polymerase chain reaction assays for the detection of fungal pathogens. The use of these primers enables the detection of specific isolates of fungal pathogens and the monitoring of disease development in plant populations. The invention includes DNA sequences which show variability between different fungal pathotypes. Such DNA sequences are useful in the method of the invention as they can be used to derive primers for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic assays. These primers generate unique fragments in PCR reactions in which the DNA template is provided by specific fungal pathotypes and can thus be used to identify the presence or absence of specific pathotypes in host plant material before the onset of disease symptoms.
