Features and Benefits

Erwinia amylovora is a Gram negative, rod-shaped bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It was the first bacterium identified as a plant pathogen and was shown to be the causative agent of the necrotic disease fireblight. The most economically important hosts are apple and pear, however infection can occur in a range of other plants including Cotoneaster, Cratagus and Pyracantha. During severe disease outbreaks, the rapid spread of bacteria through host tissue can lead to the loss of entire trees in a single growing season. E. amylovora infection of blossom can greatly reduce crop yield and marketability. Fireblight is therefore a highly destructive disease and is of major economic concern to fruit growers world-wide.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 1. Example of TaqMan PCR Positive result. Both PCR signals above the baseline from FAM and HEX channel indicate the successful PCR.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 2. Example of TaqMan PCR Negative result. No target DNA was detected in FAM channel but amplification signal from HEX indicates the successful PCR.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 3. Example of TaqMan PCR inhibition result. No signal from both FAM and HEX channel was detected. It is suggested to repeat the sample preparation using recommended kit for DNA purification.
