Recently, Pantoea beijingensis has become an emerging.pathogen against Pleurotus eryngii, causing soft rot disease.in China and Korea. A qPCR assay targeting hrpK, which.is predicted to be one of the key genes for the pathogenicity.and virulence of P. beijingensis, was developed and.evaluated. Approximately 0.1 fg of purified plasmid or.3.23 × 102 copies μl−1 in pure cultures could be detected..Moreover, the use of an enrichment procedure could induce.100-fold enhancement of the sensitivity. The qPCR.assay developed here is a rapid, reliable and sensitive tool.for the detection of P. beijingensis at an early stage of infection.and it will be useful in the development of management.practices.
