Development and validation of a LAMP-based method for rapid and reliable detection of Xanthomonas albilineans, the causal agent of sugarcane leaf scald by Moutoshi Chakraborty, Moutoshi Chakraborty, Shamsul Arafin Bhuiyan, Shamsul Arafin Bhuiyan, Simon Strachan, Simon Strachan, Muhammad J. A. Shiddiky, Nam-Trung Nguyen, Rebecca Ford, Rebecca Ford

“…Sugarcane samples from infected plants were subjected to heat lysis, followed by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based fluorescence and colorimetric quantification within a single microcentrifuge tube.ResultsThe method exhibited exceptional detection sensitivity (detecting as low as 1 cell/μL), reproducibility [with a standard deviation (SD) of <5% for n = 3], and a broad linear dynamic range (10 pM to 1 aM or 107–100 copies/μL, r = 0.99). Quantification of Xalb was accurately correlated with sugarcane cultivar disease ratings. …”
