Abstract

Some mycoviruses can be considered as effective biocontrol agents, mitigating the impact of phytopathogenic fungi and consequently reducing disease outbreaks while promoting plant health. , the causal agent of chestnut blight and a highly destructive pathogen, experienced a notable decrease in its virulence with the identification of cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1), a naturally occurring biocontrol agent. In this study, two innovative diagnostic protocols designed for the accurate and efficient detection of CHV1 are introduced. The ORF A and ORF B regions of CHV1 are targeted by these techniques, which employ colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with 2 Colorimetric LAMP Master Mix and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) with SYBR Green chemistry, respectively. The LAMP assay presents a discernible color transition, changing from pink to yellow after a 35 min incubation period. Comparative analysis, when assessed against two established reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) techniques, reveals a significant enhancement in sensitivity for both the LAMP approach, which offers a tenfold increase, and the qPCR method, which showcases a remarkable 100-fold sensitivity improvement. Throughout the comparison phase, it was evident that the RT-PCR, LAMP, and qPCR procedures displayed superior performance compared to the Bavendamm test, relying on phenol oxidase activity, effectively distinguishing hypovirulent strains. Consequently, this study introduces two pioneer diagnostic assays for highly sensitive CHV1 detection, representing a substantial advancement in the realm of CHV1 surveillance techniques. These methodologies hold significant promise for enhancing research endeavors in the domain of the biological control of . .
