Abstract
Plant pathogenic microorganisms cause substantial yield losses in several economically important crops, resulting in economic and social adversity. The spread of such plant pathogens and the emergence of new diseases is facilitated by human practices such as monoculture farming and global trade. Therefore, the early detection and identification of pathogens is of utmost importance to reduce the associated agricultural losses. In this review, techniques that are currently available to detect plant pathogens are discussed, including culture-based, PCR-based, sequencing-based, and immunology-based techniques. Their working principles are explained, followed by an overview of the main advantages and disadvantages, and examples of their use in plant pathogen detection. In addition to the more conventional and commonly used techniques, we also point to some recent evolutions in the field of plant pathogen detection. The potential use of point-of-care devices, including biosensors, have gained in popularity. These devices can provide fast analysis, are easy to use, and most importantly can be used for on-site diagnosis, allowing the farmers to take rapid disease management decisions.

Abstract
Aconitum carmichaelii Debeaux is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been utilized for approximately 2,000 years. However, as cultivation has increased, there have been more reports of A. carmichaelii infections caused by four major pathogenic fungal species, Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, Mucor circinelloides, and Sclerotium rolfsii, resulting in increased disease incidences and limited production and quality. To detect these infections, we developed a LAMP-based toolbox in this study. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene, translation elongation factor-1α (EF-1α), internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of rDNA, and alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ADH1) gene, respectively, were used to design species-specific LAMP primer sets for F. oxysporum, F. solani, S. rolfsii, and M. circinelloides. The results showed that the LAMP-based toolbox was effective at detecting pathogens in soil and plant materials. We also used this toolbox to investigate pathogen infection in the main planting regions of A. carmichaelii. Before harvesting, F. oxysporum, M. circinelloides, and S. rolfsii were commonly found in the planting fields and in infected A. carmichaelii plants. Therefore, the toolbox we developed will be useful for tracking these infections, as well as for disease control in A. carmichaelii.

Abstract
Brassicaceae plants cover a large number of species with great economic and nutritional importance around the world. The production of Brassica spp. is limited due to phytopathogenic fungal species causing enormous yield losses. In this scenario, precise and rapid detection and identification of plant-infecting fungi are essential to facilitate the effective management of diseases. DNA-based molecular methods have become popular methods for accurate plant disease diagnostics and have been used to detect Brassicaceae fungal pathogens. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays including nested, multiplex, quantitative post, and isothermal amplification methods represent a powerful weapon for early detection of fungal pathogens and preventively counteract diseases on brassicas with the aim to drastically reduce the fungicides as inputs. It is noteworthy also that Brassicaceae plants can establish a wide variety of relationships with fungi, ranging from harmful interactions with pathogens to beneficial associations with endophytic fungi. Thus, understanding host and pathogen interaction in brassica crops prompts better disease management. The present review reports the main fungal diseases of Brassicaceae, molecular methods used for their detection, review studies on the interaction between fungi and brassicas plants, and the various mechanisms involved including the application of omics technologies.

A colorimetric hydroxy naphthol blue based loop-mediated isothermal amplification detection assay targeting the β-tubulin locus of Sarocladium oryzae infecting rice seed. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1077328.

Abstract
Sarocladium oryzae is a widely prevalent seed-borne pathogen of rice. The development of a rapid and on-site detection method for S. oryzae is therefore important to ensure the health of rice seeds. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is ideal for field-level diagnosis since it offers quick, high-specific amplification of target template sequences at a single temperature. We designed primers based on the β-tubulin region of S. oryzae. The LAMP technique devised was extremely sensitive, detecting the presence of the S. oryzae template at concentrations as low as 10 fg in 30 minutes at 65°C. The assay specificity was confirmed by performing the experiment with genomic DNA isolated from 22 different phytopathogens. Through the addition of hydroxy naphthol blue in the reaction process prior to amplification, a colour shift from violet to deep sky blue was seen in the vicinity of the target pathogen only. Finally, the LAMP assay was validated using live infected tissues, weeds and different varieties of seeds collected from different locations in Tamil Nadu, India. If developed into a detection kit, the LAMP assay developed in this study has potential applications in seed health laboratories, plant quarantine stations, and on-site diagnosis of S. oryzae in seeds and plants.

Rapid quantification of fecal indicator bacteria in water using the most probable number - loop-mediated isothermal amplification (MPN-LAMP) approach on a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microchip. WATER RESEARCH 2021; 199:117172. [PMID: 33991777 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Revised: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Fecal contamination of water and its associated pathogens are a major public health concern in both developing and industrialized areas. Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) are commonly used to assess microbial water quality, but they require a relatively long period of incubation time. Currently, molecular techniques have been applied to rapidly detect FIB. However, these molecular techniques require expensive and sophisticated equipment. In this study, we developed a rapid on-chip gene quantification method based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) PCR. The LAMP assays can measure the target genes of the fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), including E. coli and Enterococcus spp, using the most probable number (MPN) approach. The colorimetric LAMP assay allows for naked-eye observation of the PCR reaction as few as 4 gene copies / well. When the reaction ends, MPN measurement of positive outcomes on the white-based PMMA (polymethacrylic acid) microchips provides the concentrations of the target genes of FIB with a confidence interval. We validated the feasibility of the MPN-LAMP approach by obtaining a strong correlation between the results of the MPN estimations and the qPCR analysis. Moreover, the MPN-LAMP approach was used to quantify the FIB in different environmental water collected from the freshwater reservoirs, beach, agriculture farm, and sewage. Our research demonstrates that the MPN- LAMP method enables us to easily and quickly quantifying FIB genes isolated from the environment without expensive qPCR instruments.

Abstract
Phytopathogenic fungal species can cause enormous losses in quantity and quality of crop yields and this is a major economic issue in the global agricultural sector. Precise and rapid detection and identification of plant infecting fungi are essential to facilitate effective management of disease. DNA-based methods have become popular methods for accurate plant disease diagnostics. Recent developments in standard and variant polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays including nested, multiplex, quantitative, bio and magnetic-capture hybridization PCR techniques, post and isothermal amplification methods, DNA and RNA based probe development, and next-generation sequencing provide novel tools in molecular diagnostics in fungal detection and differentiation fields. These molecular based detection techniques are effective in detecting symptomatic and asymptomatic diseases of both culturable and unculturable fungal pathogens in sole and co-infections. Even though the molecular diagnostic approaches have expanded substantially in the recent past, there is a long way to go in the development and application of molecular diagnostics in plant diseases. Molecular techniques used in plant disease diagnostics need to be more reliable, faster, and easier than conventional methods. Now the challenges are with scientists to develop practical techniques to be used for molecular diagnostics of plant diseases. Recent advancement in the improvement and application of molecular methods for diagnosing the widespread and emerging plant pathogenic fungi are discussed in this review.

Abstract
The incidence of zoonotic malaria, Plasmodium knowlesi, infection is increasing and now is the major cause of malaria in Malaysia. Here, we describe a WarmStart colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Plasmodium spp. The detection limit for this assay was 10 copies/µL for P knowlesi and Plasmodium ovale and 1 copy/µL for Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium malariae. To test clinical sensitivity and specificity, 100 microscopy-positive and 20 malaria-negative samples were used. The WarmStart colorimetric LAMP was 98% sensitive and 100% specific. Amplification products were visible for direct observation, thereby eliminating the need for post-amplification processing steps. Therefore, WarmStart colorimetric LAMP is suitable for use in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most devastating and cosmopolitan plant pathogens. Rapid detection of S. sclerotiorum can provide growers an advantage in knowing what control measures should be taken to minimize crop damage and financial losses caused by it. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a fast, sensitive, and specific nucleic acid amplification method that does not require a thermal cycler. This study aimed to develop a LAMP-based assay for the specific detection of S. sclerotiorum (Ss-LAMP). A real-time quantitative LAMP reaction (Ss-qLAMP) and a calcein ion indicator-based LAMP reaction (Ss-cLAMP) were designed, optimized, and tested on fungi, plant, and soil samples. The Ss-LAMP reactions were very specific and sensitive. Applying the artificially inoculated soil samples with DNA purified by five protocols in the Ss-qLAMP reaction, it was possible to detect and quantify the pathogen DNA, regardless of the extraction protocol. Naturally infected soybean tissues had the pathogen detected by Ss-cLAMP directly in the reaction tube with no DNA extraction requirement. The assays should be applicable for many types of samples, such as soil, spore traps, and plant tissues from several crops, with no requirement for DNA extraction. The Ss-LAMP reactions took less than 1 h to complete, and they can be made directly in the field with real-time quantitative results (Ss-qLAMP) or qualitative naked-eye visual results (Ss-cLAMP). Results were obtained with 10 pg of DNA or 10 ng of crude mycelium, suggesting a detection limit close to a single DNA copy. Ss-LAMP reactions will allow rapid and accurate diagnosis of S. sclerotiorum and assist in pathogen management and control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotics are highly effective drugs used in the treatment of infectious diseases. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are one of the most common antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, the development of drug resistance against those medicines is becoming a serious concern. AIM This study aimed to develop an efficient, rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection method that is applicable for routine clinical use. METHODS Escherichia coli was used as a model organism to develop a rapid, accurate, and reliable multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) for the detection of four aminoglycoside modifying enzyme (AME) resistance genes Aac(6')-Ib, Aac(3)-II, Ant(3″)-Ia, and Aph(3')-Ia. M-PCR was used to detect the distribution of AME resistance genes in 237 clinical strains of E. coli. The results were verified by simplex polymerase chain reaction (S-PCR). RESULTS Results of M-PCR and S-PCR showed that the detection rates of Aac(6')-Ib, Aac(3)-II, Ant(3″)-Ia, and Aph(3')-Ia were 32.7%, 59.2%, 23.5%, and 16.8%, respectively, in 237 clinical strains of E. coli. Compared with the traditional methods for detection and identification, the rapid and accurate M-PCR detection method was established to detect AME drug resistance genes. This technique can be used for the clinical detection as well as the surveillance and monitoring of the spread of those specific antibiotic resistance genes.

Abstract
Messenger RNA profiling for body fluid identification (bfID) is a useful approach to collect contextual information associated with a crime. Current methods require costly fluorescent probes, lengthy amplification protocols and/or time-consuming sample preparation. To simplify this process, we developed a bfID method that has the potential to be rapid in analysis time, inexpensive and fluorescence-free, combining a universal operating procedure with a high-throughout (microwell plate) platform for simultaneous detection of mRNA markers from whole blood, semen, saliva, and vaginal fluid. Full bfID sample preparation and analysis of 23 samples was completed in under 3 h using smart phone optical detection and analysis and show efficacy of the method in a validated blind study. The results provide an efficient, sensitive and specific approach to supplement the current biochemical tests in a forensic laboratory.

Abstract
Black root rot of avocado is a severe disease of nursery trees and young orchard transplants, causing tree death within a year after planting. In Australia, key pathogens include species complexes Calonectria ilicicola and Dactylonectria macrodidyma; however, several other Dactylonectria species also cause the disease. Rapid detection of these pathogens in planta is important to speed up implementation of disease management and reduce loss. The purpose of this study was to develop three loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) diagnostic assays to rapidly identify species within the C. ilicicola and D. macrodidyma complexes and species in the Dactylonectria genus in avocado roots. Primers were designed from β-tubulin sequence data of C. ilicicola and from histone H3 of D. macrodidyma and the Dactylonectria genus. The LAMP primers were tested for specificity and sensitivity with 82 fungal isolates, which included the target species complexes C. ilicicola and D. macrodidyma; species within the target Dactylonectria genus viz. D. macrodidyma, D. anthuriicola, D. novozelandica, D. pauciseptata, and D. vitis; and isolates of nontarget species, including Calonectria sp., Cylindrocladiella sp., Gliocladiopsis forsbergii, G. peggii, G. whileyi, Ilyonectria sp., Mariannaea sp., Fusarium sp., and Phytophthora cinnamomi. The species-specific LAMP assays were sensitive and specific at DNA concentrations of 1 pg/µl for C. ilicicola and 0.01 ng/µl for D. macrodidyma, whereas the Dactylonectria genus-wide assay was sensitive to 0.1 ng/µl. Detection of C. ilicicola occurred within 10 to 15 or 15 to 30 min when the template was pure DNA or crude extracts obtained from suspending fungal cultures in sterile water, respectively. Detection of D. macrodidyma was between 12 to 29 min with pure DNA and 16 to 30 min with crude extracts. Dactylonectria spp. were detected within 6 to 25 min with pure DNA and 7 to 23 min with crude extracts. The specificity of the assays was found to be dependent on time and isothermal amplification temperature, with optimal specificity occurring in reactions of <30 min and at temperatures of 67°C for C. ilicicola and D. macrodidyma assays and 69°C for Dactylonectria genus-wide assays. The assays were modified to accommodate a DNA extraction step and use of avocado roots as DNA templates. Detection in avocado roots ranged between 12 to 25 min for C. ilicicola, 12 to 26 min for D. macrodidyma, and 14 to 30 min for species in the Dactylonectria genus. The LAMP assays are applicable across multiple agricultural industries, because C. ilicicola, D. macrodidyma, and Dactylonectria spp. are also important pathogens of various crops and ornamental plants.

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum is the most economically important and commonly encountered species of Fusarium. This soil-borne fungus is known to harbour both pathogenic (plant, animal and human) and non-pathogenic strains. However, in its current concept F. oxysporum is a species complex consisting of numerous cryptic species. Identification and naming these cryptic species is complicated by multiple subspecific classification systems and the lack of living ex-type material to serve as basic reference point for phylogenetic inference. Therefore, to advance and stabilise the taxonomic position of F. oxysporum as a species and allow naming of the multiple cryptic species recognised in this species complex, an epitype is designated for F. oxysporum. Using multi-locus phylogenetic inference and subtle morphological differences with the newly established epitype of F. oxysporum as reference point, 15 cryptic taxa are resolved in this study and described as species.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the three most pathogenic bacteria that frequently cause life-threatening opportunistic human infections, pneumonia, and lower respiratory tract infections in immunocompromised hosts, particularly in the burns ward. The present study aimed to establish a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for the rapid and sensitive detection of P. aeruginosa-specific gene hypothetical protein (GenBank ID: 882161). The gene was obtained through local and online BLAST, and specific primers were designed for this gene. Reaction conditions were optimized at 65°C for 30 min and 80°C for 2 min, whereas the reaction system contained 5.2 mM Mg2+, 8 U Bst 2.0 DNA polymerase, 1.4 mM deoxyribonucleotide and 0.2 and 1.6 µM of the outer and inner primers, respectively. The LAMP method was evaluated using 150 P. aeruginosa and 170 non-P. aeruginosa strains. Positive reactions were observed on 150 P. aeruginosa strains, whereas all non-P. aeruginosa strains exhibited negative results. Plasmids with the specific gene and mouse blood with P. aeruginosa were used for sensitivity assay. The detection limit of LAMP was 1 bacterium/reaction. Results indicated that the LAMP method targeted to hypothetical protein is a fast, specific, sensitive, inexpensive and suitable method for detection of P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
The study describes a novel diagnostic protocol based on a loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) for identification of wheat grains infection by Tilletia laevis, Tilletia caries (common bunt) and Tilletia controversa (draft bunt). The presented data showed that the LAMP analysis is a simple, specific and rapid method that could be used for detection of Tilletia spp. in contaminated grain samples. The lowest DNA concentration required for the successful detection of Tilletia spp. strains were estimated to be 0.001 ng/μl. Simultaneously the detection limit for wheat grain contamination by T. caries and T. laevis teliospores was estimated at 20 μg per 100 g of grain. For T. controversa detection limit was lower and was approximately 20 mg of teliospores per 100 g of grain. The negative results of the LAMP reactions were achieved for the most common fungal species colonizing wheat grain like Fusarium spp., Alternaria sp., Cladosporium sp., Helminthosporium sp., and Penicillium sp.

Abstract
Leaf rust of wheat caused by Puccinia triticina has significant impact on wheat production worldwide. Effective and quick detection methodologies are required to mitigate yield loss and time constraints associated with monitoring and management of leaf rust of wheat. In the present study, detection of P. triticina has been simplified by developing a rapid, reliable, efficient and visual colorimetric method i.e., loop mediated isothermal amplification of DNA (LAMP). Based on in silico analysis of P. triticina genome, PTS68, a simple sequence repeat was found highly specific to leaf rust fungus. A marker (PtRA68) was developed and its specificity was validated through PCR technique which gave a unique and sharp band of 919 bp in P. triticina pathotypes only. A novel gene amplification method LAMP which enables visual detection of pathogen by naked eye was developed for leaf rust pathogen. A set of six primers was designed from specific region of P. triticina and conditions were optimised to complete the observation process in 60 minutes at 65o C. The assay developed in the study could detect presence of P. triticina on wheat at 24 hpi (pre-symptomatic stage) which was much earlier than PCR without requiring thermal cycler. Sensitivity of LAMP assay developed in the study was 100 fg which was more sensitive than conventional PCR (50 pg) and equivalent to qPCR (100 fg). The protocol developed in the study was utilized for detection of leaf rust infected samples collected from different wheat fields. LAMP based colorimetric detection assay showed sky blue color in positive reaction and violet color in negative reaction after addition of 120 μM hydroxyl napthol blue (HNB) solution to reaction mixture. Similarly, 0.6 mg Ethidium bromide/ml was added to LAMP products, placed on transilluminator to witness full brightness in positive reaction and no such brightness could be seen in negative reaction mixture. Further, LAMP products spread in a ladder like banding pattern in gel electrophoresis. Our assay is significantly faster than the conventional methods used in the identification of P. triticina. The assay developed in the study shall be very much useful in the development of diagnostic kit for monitoring disease, creation of prediction model and efficient management of disease.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a member of the genus Enterovirus within the family Picornaviridae and is an important pathogen of viral myocarditis, which accounts for more than 50% viral myocarditis cases. VP1 is major capsid protein that this region has a low homology in both amino acid and nucleotide sequences among Enteroviruses. Therefore we have chosen this region for designed a set of RT-LAMP primers for CVB3 detection. For this the total RNA was extracted from 24-h post infected-HeLa cells with complete cytopathic effect (CPE), and applied to a one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification reaction (RT-LAMP) using CVB3-specific primers. The optimization of RT-LAMP reaction was carried out with three variables factors including MgSO4 concentration, temperature and time of incubation. Amplification was analyzed by using 2% agarose gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide and SYBR Green staining. Our results were shown the ladder-like pattern of the VP1 gene amplification. The LAMP reaction mix was optimized and the best result observed at 4mM MgSO4 and 60°C for 90min incubation. RT-LAMP had high sensitivity and specificity for detection of CVB3 infection. This method can be used as a rapid and easy diagnostic test for detection of CVB3 in clinical laboratories.

Rapid and sensitive diagnoses of dry root rot pathogen of chickpea (Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler) using loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay. Sci Rep 2017; 7:42737.

Abstract
Dry root rot (DRR) caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler, is an emerging disease in chickpea. The disease is often mistaken with other root rots like Fusarium wilt, collar rot and black root rot in chickpea. Therefore, its timely and specific detection is important. Current detection protocols are either based on mycological methods or on protocols involving DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Here we report the rapid and specific detection of R. bataticola using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay targeting fungal specific 5.8S rDNA sequence for visual detection of R. bataticola. The reaction was optimized at 63 °C for 75 min using minimum 10 fg of DNA. After adding SYBR Green I in LAMP products, the amplification was found to be highly specific in all the 94 isolates of R. bataticola collected from diverse geographical regions as well as DRR infected plants and sick soil. No reaction was found in other pathogenic fungi infecting chickpea (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii and Fusarium solani) and pigeonpea (Fusarium udum and Phytophthora cajani). The standardised LAMP assay with its simplicity, rapidity and specificity is very useful for the visual detection of this emerging disease in chickpea.

Abstract
Fungal diseases in commercially important plants results in a significant reduction in both quality and yield, often leading to the loss of an entire plant. In order to minimize the losses, it is essential to detect and identify the pathogens at an early stage. Early detection and accurate identification of pathogens can control the spread of infection. The present article provides a comprehensive overview of conventional methods, current trends and advances in fungal pathogen detection with an emphasis on biosensors. Traditional techniques are the "gold standard" in fungal detection which relies on symptoms, culture-based, morphological observation and biochemical identifications. In recent times, with the advancement of biotechnology, molecular and immunological approaches have revolutionized fungal disease detection. But the drawback lies in the fact that these methods require specific and expensive equipments. Thus, there is an urgent need for rapid, reliable, sensitive, cost effective and easy to use diagnostic methods for fungal pathogen detection. Biosensors would become a promising and attractive alternative, but they still have to be subjected to some modifications, improvements and proper validation for on-field use.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) causes tomato wilt. Based on the difference in pathogenicity towards tomato cultivars, Fol is classified into three races. In this study, a rapid method is developed for the detection and discrimination of Fol race 1 using a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay with two primer sets targeting a region of the nucleotide sequence of the SIX4 gene specific for race 1 and a primer set targeting the SIX5 gene, conserved in all known Fol isolates. Upon LAMP reaction, amplification using all three primer sets was observed only when DNA of Fol race 1 was used as a template, and not when DNA of other Fol races or other fungal species was used. This method could detect 300 fg of Fol race 1 DNA, a 100-fold higher sensitivity than that obtained by conventional PCR. The method can also detect DNA extracted from soil artificially infested with Fol race 1. It is now possible to detect Fol race 1 in colonies and infected tomato stems without DNA isolation. This method is a rapid and simple tool for discrimination of Fol race 1. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for detection and differentiation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) race 1 by using three primer sets targeting for the SIX4 and SIX5 genes. These genes are present together only in Fol race 1. This method can detect Fol race 1 in infected tomato stems without DNA extraction, affording an efficient diagnosis of Fusarium wilt on tomatoes in the field.
