Quantification of Phytophthora infestans population densities and their changes in potato field soil using real-time PCR

Abstract Tuber infection of Phytophthora infestans often occurs at harvest. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate the population densities of P. infestans in soil, especially Japanese soil. In the present study, P. infestans DNA was extracted from soil samples using a modified CTAB-bead me...
