Comparison of multiplex real-time PCR and ergosterol assays in quantifying Heterobasidion annosum in planta

A quantitative multiplex real-time PCR procedure was developed to monitor the dynamics in Norway spruce-Heterobasidion annosum pathosystem. The assay reliably detected down to 1 pg of H. annosum DNA and 1 ng of host DNA in multiplex conditions. As a comparative method for quantifying fungal coloniza...
