Kit Description

Specific kit for the qualitative, rapid and specific detection of Erwinia amylovora in plant samples.

Erwinia amylovora è un batterio che causa una delle più gravi e pericolose malattie infettive delle piante appartenenti alla famiglia delle Rosaceae, detta “colpo di fuoco batterico”.

Il patogeno ha un range di ospiti molto esteso, tra cui specie molto importanti in campo frutticolo e ornamentale come il peros, il melo, il cotogno, il nespolo, il biascospino e numerose altre.

La diffusione di Erwinia samylovora è affidata al vento, alle piogge, agli insetti e agli uccelli.

Humans can also contribute to its spread through various cultural operations, particularly pruning, and through the marketing of infected propagation material.

Symptoms can appear on all above-ground parts of the plant throughout its growing cycle; affected leaves wilt and dry out, turning a characteristic reddish-brown color, while on the branches and trunk, the bacterium causes more or less extensive cancerous lesions that can lead to complete desiccation of the plant.

Attualmente Erwinia amylovora è inserito nella lista A2 della EPPO (European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization).

Data la sua pericolosità, il materiale vegetale possibile ospite di Erwinia amylowora può essere commercializzato solo accompagnato da un documento ufficiale (passaporto delle piante).

The Kit is composed of

Reagents

To perform rapid DNA extraction and specific gene amplification with LAMP technology

BADGE (RFID)

Contains all information relating to the kit, including the lot number and expiration date

TABLET WITHIN ICGENE APP

With real-time results of the search for Erwinia amylovora in the analyzed plant samples

RAPID BIOMOLECULAR
ANALYSIS

Automatic interpretation of results

The system allows automatic interpretation of the results, real-time visualization and online availability. The sigmoid curves sigmoid curves in correspondence with the positive (+) samples indicate the presence of Erwinia amylovora. The straight indicate that the analyzed samples are negative (or) for Erwinia amylovora.
