A quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (q-LAMP) method was developed for Ustilaginoidea virens detection and quantification, which is more sensitive and efficient than quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR) method. The q-LAMP assay could detect a concentration of 6.4 spores/mL at an optimal reaction temperature of 63.4℃ within 60 minutes. It is a powerful and simple monitoring tool for U. virens, providing valuable technical support for the forecast and management of rice false smut.
Rice false smut caused by Ustilaginoidea virens is one of the most devastating diseases in rice worldwide, which results in serious reductions in rice quality and yield. As an airborne fungal disease, early diagnosis of rice false smut and monitoring its epidemics and distribution of its pathogens is particularly important to manage the infection. In this study, a quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (q-LAMP) method for U. virens detection and quantification was developed. This method has higher sensitivity and efficiency compared to the quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR) method. The species-specific primer that the UV-2 set used was designed based on the unique sequence of the U. virens ustiloxins biosynthetic gene (NCBI accession number: BR001221.1). The q-LAMP assay was able to detect a concentration of 6.4 spores/mL at an optimal reaction temperature of 63.4 & DEG;C within 60 min. Moreover, the q-LAMP assay could even achieve accurate quantitative detection when there were only nine spores on the tape. A linearized equation for the standard curve, y = -0.2866x + 13.829 (x is the amplification time, the spore number = 10(0.65y)), was established for the detection and quantification of U. virens. In field detection applications, this q-LAMP method is more accurate and sensitive than traditional observation methods. Collectively, this study has established a powerful and simple monitoring tool for U. virens, which provides valuable technical support for the forecast and management of rice false smut, and a theoretical basis for precise fungicide application.
