Rapid and Visual Detection of <i>Heterodera schachtii</i> Using Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Combined with Cas12a-Mediated Technology

<i>Heterodera schachtii</i> is a well-known cyst nematode that causes serious economic losses in sugar beet production every year. Rapid and visual detection of <i>H. schachtii</i> is essential for more effective prevention and control. In this study, a species-specific recom...
