Molecular Diagnostic Assay for Rapid Detection of Flag Smut Fungus (Urocystis agropyri) in Wheat Plants and Field Soil

Flag smut incited by Urocystis agropyri has the potential to cause substantial reduction in yield and quality of wheat production. An early and precise diagnosis is a key component in the successful management of flag smut of wheat. Therefore, a simple molecular assay for the rapid detection of U. a...
