The γ-proteobacterium '<i>Candidatus</i> Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus' is assigned as the major pathogen of "Syndrome des basses richesses", a sugar beet disease characterised by a reduction in the sugar content of taproots and biomass yield. Despite the economic impact of this bacteriosis, diagnostics for this important pathogen currently rely on end-point PCR detection. Herein, we introduce a TaqMan qPCR for diagnostics of the agent targeting genes encoding a heat shock protein of the Hsp20 ...[more]
