Abstract:

Strawberry powdery mildew caused by Sphaerotheca aphanis is one of the strawberry diseases with large incidence area and high incidence frequency in the protected cultivation areas, which usually occurs from seedling stage to fruiting stage. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and efficient detection method of S. aphanis is quite important for the diagnosis and control of strawberry powdery mildew.A set of LAMP amplification primers including F3/B3、FIP/BIP and LF/LB were designed for the conserved sequence of ITS gene of Sphaerotheca aphanis as the target gene. Through the double judgment method of Real-time fluorescence curve and fluorescence color change, the main factors in the LAMP reaction system including the final concentrations of dNTPs, MgSO4, BstDNA polymerase and betaine and amplification temperature were selected and optimized to increased etections ensitivity and specificity. Finally, the effects of field samples detection by optimized LAMP were evaluated.The results showed that the LAMP detection system of strawberry powdery mildew was established successfully. The optimized reaction conditions included dNTPs 1.6 mmol/L, MgSO4 8 mmol/L, BstDNA polymerase 320 U/moL and betaine 1.2 mmol/L and the amplification temperature was 65 ℃. Under such conditions, the minimum detection sensitivity was 3.2×10-4 ng/μL within 60 min, and the efficiency of which was 100 times higher than the result of PCR amplification.The visual LAMP method could effectively detect the samples with no obvious symptoms infected by S. aphanis in the early stage. This method has the advantages of short detection time, direct observation with eyes, low requirements for operators and low detection cost. It has important guiding significance for the early diagnosis, monitoring, early prevention and determination of the best control time of strawberry powdery mildew.
