Abstract/Contents: | "This project focused on the development and use of immunological techniques for rapid diagnosis of slow growing patch diseases. The project was successful in developing a monoclonal antibody-producing clone that was selective for Leptosphaeria korrae, the causal agent of necrotic ring spot. The antibody, a small protein that can bind to the fungus, can now be grown in great quantity in a laboratory flask. The antibody can test for the presence of the pathogen in a plant sample. The antibody was highly reactive against all fungal strains of Leptosphaeria korrae isolated from both Kentucky bluegrass (Necrotic Ring Spot) and bermudagrass (Spring Dead Spot). Currently, a company (or university) is being sought to continue with the commercialization and maintenance of the LK50 clone." |
