The preparation and use of a fluorescent antibody reagent for the detection ofFusarium vasinfectum

摘要

The preparation and use of a strain-specific fluorescent antibody reagent is described for specific identification of a virulent strain ofFusarium vasinfectumAtk., in host tissues ofGossypium arboreum, var. K7 and in soil. Methods are discussed to eliminate autofluorescence of host tissues and soil.
