Abstract:Aims: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most important crop species, but yields are often drastically reduced by rust epidemics. In this report, we describe a rapid and sensitive immunofluorescence method for the detection of urediniospores of the fungi Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia triticina and Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, which are causal agents of wheat rust.
Methods and Results:The method uses monoclonal antibody LPT-2 against the urediniospores of P. triticina and PE-cy3 goat a… Show more
“…Monoclonal antibodies were produced according to the procedure of Gao et al . (), except that the suspension contained 0·5 mg ml −1 dry teliospores. As indicated in the Results, six monoclonal antibodies were selected for further study.…”

“…All protocols described in Gao et al . () were followed, except that the suspension included 100 μ l volume of a T. controversa teliospore suspension (0·5 mg ml −1 ) was incubated at 37°C for 2 h. Each well was read three times.…”

“…Following the procedures as previously described (Gao et al . ), briefly, the spore suspensions were dropped onto different glass slides and allowed to dry. The slides were then washed in PBS two times for 5 min each, treated with monoclonal antibody and washed with PBS three times.…”

“…Immunologic methods based on monoclonal antibodies can easily and rapidly produce detection results, and they do not require complex equipment or technical skills; therefore, such methods are the most suitable for on‐site detection (Gao et al . ). Previous attempts have been made to identify T. controversa and other closely related species using immunologic techniques; however, only unsatisfactory results were achieved.…”

“…tritici and Puccinia graminis (Gao et al . ). In the present study, we report the development of an immunofluorescence assay using a novel mouse monoclonal antibody to specifically detect teliospores of T. controversa .…”
This method could be used for the on-site identification of T. controversa teliospores in the near future and will help in selecting fungicides to control dwarf bunt of wheat as further technical developments are achieved.
