ABSTRACT:
The invention provides highly sensitive and specific assays for the major citrus pathogensXylella fastidiosaandXanthomonas axonopodis, including a field deployable multiplexed assay capable of rapidly assaying for both pathogens simultaneously. The assays are directed at particular gene targets derived from pathogenic strains that specifically cause the major citrus diseases of citrus variegated chlorosis (Xylella fastidiosa9a5c) and citrus canker (Xanthomonas axonopodispv citri). The citrus pathogen assays of the invention offer femtomole sensitivity, excellent linear dynamic range, and rapid and specific detection.
