Description

<b>Abstract</b><br/>

Protocols for the RNA and DNA extractions, cDNA synthesis and qPCR and RT-qPCR for detecting and assessing viability of the Phytophthora ramorum and Grosmannia clavigera tree pathogens.</p>; <b>Methods</b><br />

Fifty to 80 mg of wood scrapings were collected at each inoculation point from eight logs of four conifer species and used for the simultaneous extractions of gDNA and mRNA.</p>

Using the diluted RNA, cDNA, synthesis was performed using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (QIAGEN).</p>
