METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DETECTING PLANT EXPOSURE TO PLANT PATHOGENS

摘要

The present disclosure provides methods an compositions for the detection of plant exposure to plant pathogens. The methods relate to determining the identity of peptides isolated from the surface of plant starch granules.

主权项

1. A method for detecting the exposure of a non-grain plant or plant part to at least one plant pathogen, the method comprising:
(a) isolating at least one starch granule from the non-grain plant or plant part; (b) contacting the starch granule with at least one solvent; wherein the contacting releases at least one peptide from the surface of the starch granule; and (c) determining the amino acid sequence of the peptide; wherein the presence of at least one peptide from a plant pathogen indicates that the non-grain has been exposed to at least one plant pathogen.
