Real-time PCR detection method for Fusarium solani, pathogen of Panax notoginseng root rot / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: In order to establish an accurate and rapid real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method for the detection of Fusarium solani, the pathogenic fungus of Panax notoginseng root rot. Methods: Based on aminoadipate reductase Lys2 gene of F. solani, specific primers Fs-QF and Fs-QR were designed. The recombinant plasmid standard was prepared and the SYBR Green I fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR method and real-time fluorescent 1oop-mediated isothermal amplication (LAMP) system for detecting F. solani was established. Fifteen samples including P. notoginseng plants with typical symptoms of root rot and black spot as well as soil of P. notoginseng planting area were collected. The total DNA of these samples were extracted as templates, and then detected by the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method and 1oop-mediated isothermal amplification established in this study. Results: The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method and 1oop-mediated isothermal amplification technique established in this study had high specificity. P. notoginseng plants infected with F. solani can be detected quickly. In addition, the method has high sensitivity and the concentration of detection template can be as low as 0.2 pg/μL. Conclusion: The method established in this study can be used to reveal the dynamic changes of F. solani concentration in the complex P. notoginseng planting soil and diseased plants. Furthermore, it can provide technical supports for the soil treatment, early diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of root rot, and rapid molecular detection of P. notoginseng seeds and seedlings.
