Development of a qPCR Assay for Species-Specific Detection of the Tar Spot Pathogen Phyllachora maydis

Phyllachora maydis is a fungal plant pathogen that causes tar spot of corn (Zea mays) in North and South America, causing devastating yield losses under favorable conditions. Although the causal agent is relatively easy to diagnose via macroscopic and microscopic observations, other diseases and con...
