In Argentina, in particular, leaf blight and purple seed stain, caused by the agent Cercospora kikuchii, and frog eye spot, caused by C. sojina, are the prevailing sources of diseases. The early, rapid and accurate detection of these phytopathogens becomes essential, and would contribute to preserving both the environment and the health of humans and animals by preventing the wasteful or improper use of chemicals such as pesticides. In order to detect Cercospora species in soybean plants at an early stage, immunochemical and molecular techniques were developed in this work. Strains from the NITE Biological Resource Center collection (Japan): Cercospora kikuchii NBRC 6711 and Cercospora sojina NBRC 6715 and regional isolates of C. kikuchii were used. To develop Dot-Blot and PCR techniques, experiments with plants undergoing different treatments were carried out: those experimentally inoculated with these fungi, those treated with sterile water and healthy plants as well. Both techniques allowed the detection, at early stages, of Cercospora species involved in two of the most frequent LCD in the country, when the cercosporin concentration produced by the fungus was higher than 3.93 ± 0.39 nmol·cyl-1 ±SD. The sensitivity between both techniques was very different. While Dot-Blot allowed the detection of the disease 4 days after inoculation, PCR detected it after 4 hours, even without visible symptoms of the disease.展开更多

Resistance to race 7 of C. sojina was found to be due to a single dominant gene through analyzing resistant behavior of the cross NEAU91212 （susceptible to race 7）× NEAU9674 （resistant to all races）. 3 RAPD markers linked to the resistant gene Rcsc 7 were identified using the BSA method. 2 fragments of OPS03<sub>620</sub> and OPS03<sub>580</sub> amplified with primer OPS03 co-dominantly segregated in the F<sub>2</sub> individuals. The genetic distance between OPS03<sub>620</sub> and the resistant gene is 8.7 cM. According to the co-dominant marker, the accuracy of predicting the homozygous and heterozygous resistant F<sub>2</sub> individuals were 100% and 97.6%, respectively.展开更多
