MagSi-DX Pathogen 96 preps

Summary

Synthetic biology-based diagnostic technologies have improved gold-standard diagnostic methodologies by lowering cost, increasing accuracy, and improving portability. However, there has been little effort in adapting these technologies towards applications related to monitoring the health of plants and crops at the point of use.

Here, we take a step towards this vision by developing an approach that combines isothermal amplification of specific plant DX Pathogen genomic sequences with customizable synthetic RNA regulators that are designed to trigger the production of a colourimetric output in cell-free gene expression reactions. . We demonstrate that our system can detect virus-derived sequences with high sensitivity and specificity, and can be used to detect viruses directly from infected plant material.

In addition, we demonstrate that the entire system can work using only body heat and naked-eye visual analysis of the results. We anticipate that these strategies will be important components of easy-to-use, deployable diagnostic systems that can be configured to detect a variety of important plant pathogens.
