Genome-informed diagnostics for specific and rapid detection of Pectobacterium species using recombinase polymerase amplification coupled with a lateral flow device

Abstract Pectobacterium species cause serious bacterial soft rot diseases worldwide on economically important fruit and vegetable crops including tomato and potato. Accurate and simple methods are essential for rapid pathogen identification and timely management of the diseases. Recombinase polymera...
