Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for the detection of Tilletia controversa based on genome comparison

Abstract Tilletia controversa causing dwarf bunt of wheat is a quarantine pathogen in several countries. Therefore, its specific detection is of great phytosanitary importance. Genomic regions routinely used for phylogenetic inferences lack suitable polymorphisms for the development of species-speci...
