Real-time PCR as a diagnostic tool for evaluating the resistance of Chinese c…

Verticillium wilt disease has become increasingly serious in many regions in China over the past few years. In this study, the widespread pathogen was identified as Verticillium longisporum (V. longisporum) by mt-SSU rDNA and cytochrome b sequence analysis. By using the primer pair HW1-F/HW1-R, which was designed based on the V. longisporum-specific rDNA-ITS sequence, a real-time PCR assay was …
