Abstract:
The genus Dickeya groups diverse isolates that cause soft-rot disease in a wide variety of plant species, including economically important crops and ornamental plants. Until recently, reports of soft-rot disease caused by the genus Dickeya have been limited to herbaceous plants. Dickeya fangzhongdai is the first reported Dickeya species that can infect trees as well as various herbaceous plants. Bacteria seems to be established in Asian environment and is continuously introduced further. However, due to lack of testing that provide specific detection of D. fangzhongdai species, isolates can be easily overlooked and assigned to Dickeya spp. Therefore, specific and reliable diagnostic tools that enable monitoring presence and spread of D. fangzhongdai have a great importance to prevent and control its outbreaks, and support future epidemiological investigations. In this presentation, development of molecular diagnostic assay for a specific detection of microorganisms by implementing whole genome data will be presented through introduction of plant pathogen D. fangzhongdai. Lastly, results of the developed screening test assessing the presence of the D. fangzhongdai in Slovene environment will be shown.

Vljudno vabljeni! Seminar bo potekal v angleškem jeziku. / You are cordially invited to attend this lecture, which will be delivered in English.
