Sensitive detection of citrus Huanglongbing disease using magnetic beads and CRISPR-powered light signal sensor

Updated

Abstract

A linear detection range of 10 fM-1 nM with a limit of detection of 2 fM was achieved for Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus gene fragments.

  • The biosensor integrates rolling circle amplification and CRISPR/Cas12a activities for enhanced detection.
  • Target-initiated amplification leads to the degradation of specific DNA, restoring electrochemiluminescence signals.
  • High specificity was demonstrated for detecting the ribonucleotide-diphosphate reductase subunit beta gene fragments.
  • The system eliminates the need for multiple incubation steps, streamlining the detection process.
  • Satisfactory performance was observed in detecting HLB pathogens in citrus leaf samples.
