摘要: A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was developed that specifically detected Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli, the causal agent of sugarcane ratoon stunting disease. Generic PCR products from intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) region 16S-23S ribosomal DNA C. and cynodontis were cloned sequenced. Based on a multiple sequence alignment among these two sequences other nonredundant highly homologous database, xyli-specific primers designed, Cxx1 (5' CCGAAGTGAGCAGATTGACC) Cxx2 ACCCTGTGTTGTTTTCAACG). These 20-mer oligonucleotides primed specific amplification 438-bp product genomic samples 21 strains. Amplification not observed with one strain, five strains four species, Rathayibacter species. The also amplified directly cultured cells xyli-infected vascular sap unique buffer containing polyvinylpyrrolidone ficoll. Extraction necessary prior to assay.
