  • Detection of fungal pathogens using the polymerase chain reaction
    Patent number: 7060816
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of primers in polymerase chain reaction assays for the detection of fungal pathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, Alternaria spp., and Cladosporium carpophilum. Specific primers are identified as being useful for the identification of fungal isolates using PCR based techniques. Also described are novel extraction buffer solutions for use in isolating DNA from an organism, methods of extracting DNA from tissue, and methods of performing PCR analysis on DNA extracted from tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2006
    Assignee: Syngenta Participations AG
    Inventors: Charles Jason Barnett, James Joseph Beck, Christy Violet Perry
