CRISPR-based platforms for the specific and dual detection of defoliating/nondefoliating strains of Verticillium dahliae.

Taken together, this study achieved rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection of V. dahliae and the differentiation of defoliating and nondefoliating pathotypes and provides potential for field-deployable diagnostic tools for rapid and ultrasensitive detection. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
