Blackleg of Potato (Dickeya dianthicola) LAMP Detection Kit (80 reactions)
In Australia, Dickeya species represent a serious biosecurity threat to the potato industry. Dickeya dianthicola is a highly virulent bacterial pathogen causing blackleg and soft rot in potatoes, leading to major yield losses worldwide. In Australia, Dickeya dianthicola has been a particular concern in potato production regions of Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. It spreads through infected seed tubers, soil, and water, and can survive for extended periods in cool environmental conditions. Infected plants may remain asymptomatic until stress triggers disease expression. Control relies on certified seed, strict hygiene, and rapid molecular detection to prevent spread and is critical for protecting Australia's horticultural supply chains.
Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) is a molecular biology technique that copies DNA or RNA at a single, constant temperature. By eliminating the rapid heat cycling required by traditional PCR, this method relies on specialized strand-displacement polymerases to unzip and replicate genetic material.
This biological approach removes the need for expensive, bulky thermal cyclers, allowing assays to run on simple, low-cost heating equipment. Delivering highly sensitive results in just 20 to 30 minutes, isothermal amplification provides a fast, affordable, and exceptionally portable solution for field testing and decentralized point-of-care diagnostics.
The Blackleg of Potato (Dickeya dianthicola) LAMP Detection Kit simplifies detection of Dickeya dianthicola nucleic acid by amplifying target DNA at a constant temperature.
