We developed one species-specific PCR assays for rapid and accurate detection of the pathogenic fungi Verticilliumalbo-atrum in diseased plant tissues and soil. Based on differences in internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences ofVerticillium spp., a pair of species-specific primers, Vaa1/Vaa2, was synthesized. After screening 17 isolates of V. albo-atrum, 121 isolates from the Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Deuteromycota, and Oomycota, the Vaa1/Vaa2 primers amplifiedonly a single PCR band of approximately 330 bp from V. albo-atrum. The detection sensitivity with primers Vaa1/Vaa2 was10 fg of genomic DNA. Using ITS1/ITS4 as the first-round primers, combined with Vaa1/Vaa2, the nested PCR procedureswere developed, and the detection sensitivity increased 1 000-fold to 10 ag. The detection sensitivity for the soil pathogenswas 100-conidia g-1 soil. The PCR-based methods developed here could simplify both plant disease diagnosis and pathogenmonitoring as well as guide plant disease management.
