摘要
Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boed, the causative agent of Curvularia leaf spot in maize, was determined according to conidiophore and conidium morphology in a previous study. In the current study, a sensitive polymerase chain reaction assay was developed for the detection of C.lunata. Two specific forward (ClgD1/ClgD2) and one reverse primers (ClgD3) were designed based on a Ras-related (Clg2p) gene. Eight C.lunata isolates that represent different virulent strains in maize, six other Curvulariaspp., and 22 fungal plant pathogens were used to test the specificity of the primers. PCR amplification using ClgD1/ClgD3 as the first-round primers resulted in an 870-bp band from the C.lunata isolates. The detection sensitivity using ClgD1/ClgD3 was 100pg of genomic DNA. In the second round of PCR, a 1:50 dilution of the first-round PCR products was used as a template with the ClgD2/ClgD3 primer pair, which increased the detection sensitivity to 1fg. This semi-nested PCR procedure could also be used to detect C.lunata from infected maize leaves. The proposed PCR-based assay may be used for diagnosing and monitoring maize Curvularia leaf spot. Significance and Impact of the Study The semi-nested PCR assay may provide researchers and laboratory technologists a tool to rapidly detect C. lunata, which causes maize Curvularia leaf spot, compared with histological examination.
