Identification of genetically modified potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars using event specific polymerase chain reaction.

Several genetically modified (GM) cultivars are registered in Canada although they are not currently in commercial production. The GM cultivars can be distinguished from the non-GM and other GM cultivars by analyzing the DNA nucleotide sequence at the insertion site of the transgene corresponding to a single transformation event in the plant genome. Techniques based on modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategies were used to generate sequence information from the plant genome flanking the insertion site of transgenic DNA for specific GM potato events.

Identification of Monilinia fructigena, M. fructicola, M. laxa, and Monilia polystroma on Inoculated and Naturally Infected Fruit Using Multiplex PCR.

Monilinia fructigena, M. fructicola, M. laxa, and Monilia polystroma each have a different regulatory status.

Variations in sequence and occurrence of SSU rDNA group I introns in Monilinia fructicola isolates.

A group I intron of 418 base pairs in the Monilinia fructicola ribosomal small-subunit sequence was characterized. The absence of such an intron in M. laxa and M.
