Abstract
Current control practices for pear scab (Venturia pirina) rely on prevention through orchard sanitation and extensive fungicide applications. Molecular quantification through a qPCR offers a sensitive, high-throughput approach to efficiently collect reliable data on the inoculum dynamics. A SYBR qPCR assay targeting the translation elongation factor 1α (EF1-α) gene of V. pirina was developed. The assay was validated based on specificity and sensitivity. The specificity was validated against 43 V. pirina isolates and 13 non-target fungal species. A qPCR offers a prospective tool which can be employed in various aspects of pathogenic studies.
