Rapid detection of rice diseases using a CRISPR-based DNA test without PAM requirement

Updated

Abstract

The Cas-PfLAMP assay detects rice pathogens with high sensitivity down to 3 copies.

  • The assay identifies three specific rice pathogens: Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae, rice stripe virus, and rice black-streaked dwarf virus.
  • High specificity is achieved through dual recognition mechanisms involving primer sets and CRISPR/Cas12a components.
  • Results indicate a rapid detection capability, requiring approximately 50 minutes for on-site testing.
  • Field sample analysis demonstrates the effective performance of the Cas-PfLAMP platform.
  • This method may be adaptable for diagnosing other plant diseases and conducting nucleic acid tests in various field settings.
