| Zusammenfassung: | A real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Bremia lactucae, the causal pathogen of lettuce downy mildew, was developed and validated to aid in-field detection of airborne inoculum. Assay specificity was confirmed against a range of other pathogenic oomycete and fungal spp., and sensitivity of the assay for the detection of DNA extracted from sporangia was evaluated. The B. lactucae LAMP assay reliably detected DNA equivalent to 1 spore/reaction (16.7 pg DNA/reaction). Following extraction of DNA from Rotorod air samplers, to which sporangial suspensions were added, the assay reliably detected 25 sporangia/Rotorod. Detection of airborne inoculum of B. lactucae collected through the season from air samplers deployed in-field in plots infected with B. lactucae and in commercial lettuce fields in Scotland over two growing seasons was assessed. The method can be deployed on samples collected from commercial lettuce production to inform disease management strategies and limit the use of unnecessary prophylactic pesticide applications |
