DNA-multiscan for Plant Pathogen Detection
|With the DNA-multiscan bacteria we can analyze very quickly which bacteria are present in your water, seed, plant material or soil. 13 bacteria and 1 plasmid are being analyzed including Agrobacterium tumefaciens which can cause tumors on roses. Some important bacteria/plasmid which can be detected with the scan are:
Agrobacterium and Ti Plasmide
Agrobacterium is known to cause tumors on the stem of roses. This bacterium is the vector of the real pathogen, the Ti-plasmid. After the bacterium has transported the Ti-plasmid it can disappear from the plant again. The bacterium and the Ti-plasmid can both occur in the plant without the other. The bacterium occurs quite often in soils but does not have to be harmful. The Ti-plasmid is the real cause of the tumors. With the DNA- bacterial scan we can analyze if the Ti-plasmid is present in your sample.
