|
• Grow isolates
• Extract DNA • PCR with primers • Sequence bands • Bioinformatics • Phylogenetic analysis |
|
What are the mechanisms of pathogen diversity?
|
Factors that influence allele variation in populations
• Population size • Mutation • Random genetic drift and selection • Migration (gene flow) • Genetic recombination – through sexual and asexual reproduction |
|
What are the means of Plant Pathogen diagnostics/identification
|
• Koch’s postulates
• Morphology • symptoms • spore shape and size, bacterial colony colour, Gram stain • presence of identifiable features (ie sclerotia) • culture morphology on specific growth medium • Biochemical – protein compounds • Serological • Molecular – nucleotide sequence differences |
|
What do monocyclic and polycyclic refer to?
|
Plant disease epidemics can be classified into two basic types, monocyclic and polycyclic, depending on the number of infection cycles per crop cycle.
