Development of a kit for the detection of leaf spot in turf grass
Description
The objective is to develop a real-time pathogen detection kit for a range of turf grass leaf spot diseases. This kit will feature a straightforward process for DNA extraction and amplification through loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). It will enable semi-quantitative assessment of pathogen presence in samples, delivering results in under an hour using basic molecular methods.
