sensitive and specific detection of xanthomonas campestris pv. pelargonii with dna primers and probes identified by random amplified polymorphic dna analysis.	the random amplified polymorphic dna method was used to distinguish strains of xanthomonas campestris pv. pelargonii from 21 other xanthomonas species and/or pathovars. among the 42 arbitrarily chosen primers evaluated, 3 were found to reveal diagnostic polymorphisms when purified dnas from compared strains were amplified by the pcr. the three primers revealed dna amplification patterns which were conserved among all 53 strains tested of x. campestris pv. pelargonii isolated from various locatio ...	1994	7993095
molecular diagnostic procedures for production of pathogen-free propagation material.	production of disease-free propagation material is a major means of controlling most bacterial diseases of plants, particularly when neither resistant clones nor effective chemical treatments are available. for this purpose sensitive, specific and rapid detection methods are required. the advent of molecular biology and, in particular, the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) has opened new ways for the characterization and identification of plant pathogens and the development of disease-management s ...	2002	12449531
