Plant Disease Diagnosis Test Kits
Background on Plant Disease
Plant disease refers to a series of morphological, physiological and biochemical pathological changes in plants under the influence of biological or non-biological factors, which hinder the normal growth and development process, thereby affecting human economic benefits. Plants are constantly being attacked by a variety of pathogens and pests, including viruses, bacteria, oomycetes, fungi, insects, nematodes, and even parasitic plants. Although there are many causes that can be attributed to the decrease in crop productivity, the loss due to pests and pathogens plays a crucial role in the damages worldwide. The formation and development of plant diseases involve three factors: plants, pathogens and environment. In agricultural production, human activities have an important impact on the occurrence and prevalence of crop diseases. The prerequisite for plant disease control is disease diagnosis. Under the action of pathogenic factors, the growth and development of plants are disturbed and destroyed, showing an abnormal state. Plant disease test kits usually determine the cause and type of disease based on the symptoms of plant damage, plant pathogens, and disease occurrence characteristics, and then take corresponding control measures.

Classification of Plant Disease Diagnosis Test Kits
According to the causes of plant diseases, plant disease diagnostic test kits can be divided into the following categories:
- Plant pathogens: detection of bacteria (erwinia amylovora, candidatus liberibacter, candidatus liberibacter solanacearum), fungi (aspergillus niger, botrytis cinerea, cladosporium cladosporioides, phomopsis viticola), virus and viroid (chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid, chrysanthemum stunt viroid, plum pox virus, grapevine red blotchvirus).
- Plant pests: pests are an important factor affecting crop yield, the plant pest kits contain the detection of insects and mites in plant.
- Plant genetic modification: plant genetic modification test kits are mainly used to identify whether plants are genetically modified, and invisible genetically modified substances in samples such as seeds or plant leaves.
- Plant endogenous hormones: the plant endogenous hormone test kits contain auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene and brassinosteroids.
Advantages of Plant Disease Diagnosis Test Kits
The detection cost is low, and the reagent components are safe.
No need for method development, ready to use out of the box, one-stop service from pre-processing to computer.
Simultaneously detect single or a variety of plant hormones or pathogens, with strong specificity and accurate quantification.
All kinds of different plant substrates are applicable and widely used.
Large-scale rapid detection can be realized to determine the causes and types of plant diseases, so that preventive measures can be taken in time to increase crop yields.
