Isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assays for the specific detection of Candidatus Phytoplasma mali (Ca. P. mali), the causal agent of apple proliferation, were developed. The assays amplify a fragment of the imp gene and amplimers were detected either by fluorescence in real-time mode (TwistAmp (R) exo assay) using a fluorophore-labelled probe or by direct visualization employing a lateral flow device (TwistAmp (R) nfo assay/Milenia (R) HybriDetect). The RPA assays specifically amplified DNA from Ca. P. mali strains, and cross-reactivity with other phytoplasmas or plant DNA was not observed. The limit of detection was determined with a cloned imp standard, and positive results were obtained down to 10 copies with both RPA assay formats. In comparison with a TaqMan real-time PCR assay based on the same target gene, the RPA assays were equally sensitive, but results were obtained faster. Simplified nucleic acid extraction procedures from plant tissue with Tris-and CTAB-based buffers revealed that crude Tris-DNA extracts were a suitable source for RPA tests while larger concentrations of CTAB were inhibitory. This is the first report of RPA-based assays for the detection of Ca. P. mali. The assays are suitable for high-throughput screening of plant material and point-of-care diagnostic and can be potentially combined with a simplified DNA extraction procedure.
