Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina (Xac; formerly campestris corylina) is the causal agent of bacterial blight hazelnuts, a devastating disease trees in plant nurseries and young orchards. Currently, there are no PCR assays to distinguish Xac from all other pathovars X. arboricola. A comparative genomics approach with publicly available genomes was used identify unique sequences, conserved across pathogen. We identified 2,440 bp genomic region that designed identification detection systems for conventional PCR, qPCR (SYBR® Green TaqMan™), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). All performed on DNA isolated eight closely related species confirmed specificity primers. These new multi-platform molecular diagnostic tools may be by clinics researchers detect pure cultures hazelnut tissues rapidly accurately.
