First records of Phytophthora Spp. based on DNA analysis in Lithuania (Poland, Lithuania)

Research of plant diversity : present ang future : abstracts of international scientific conferenece, June 27–28, 2013, KaunasThe assessment of alien invasive species of Phytophthora genus causing serious tree diseases was carried out in Lithuania. The presence of Phytophthora spp. DNA was recorded for the first time using real­time Pcr analysis on 23 DNA samples. The sampling included wood from diseased trees, shrubs, leaves baited in water, and soil samples taken around the diseased plants. ex­ tracted DNA was tested for the presence of Phytophthora. All analysed samples were positively recognized by Phytophthora­specific probe during real­time Pcr which proved the presence of pathogens in environmental samplesAplinkos tyrimų centrasBotanikos sodasVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
