TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of molecular detection of Agrilus mali, and particularly relates to an A. mali SS-COI PCR detection primer and a detection method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Agrilus mali Matsumura belongs to the Coleoptera family Buprestidae and the Agrilus genus, and mainly harms plants of the Malus genus. A. mali is distributed in Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning and other provinces in China, and has caused great influence on the growth of apple trees and the apple industry in the local area. In recent years, A. mali has occurred seriously in the wild fruit forest in the western Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang, China, and has spread rapidly, and has become an important pest threatening the ecological construction of forestry and the healthy development of the fruit industry in Yili and even Xinjiang.
[0003] Since different buprestids have great differences in body size, body color, spots, reproductive organs and other aspects at the adult stage, the species identification of buprestid insects has always taken the characteristics of adults as the main identification basis. Studies have shown that the spreading and diffusing ability of A. mali adults is limited, and A. mali usually spreads and diffuses through seedlings transportation and trade exchanges with host plants in the form of eggs, larvae or pupae. However, it is difficult to accurately identify the species through the morphology of the eggs, larvae and pupae of buprestids, and it is difficult to meet the actual needs of port, customs and frontline forestry personnel to carry out quarantine work. Therefore, it is very important to develop a detection technology that can quickly identify A. mali.
[0004] At present, the Species-Specific COI (SS-COI) PCR detection technology has become an important means for rapid detection of a variety of pests. This technology uses species-specific COI primers for PCR amplification, and identifies the detection sample according to the presence or absence of the expected DNA band, without the need for sequencing and sequence alignment, and has the advantages of high sensitivity, strong specificity, good repeatability, rapidness, simplicity and the like. The key to this technology is to screen high-specificity and high-sensitivity PCR primers. Once the specific primers are obtained, rapid and accurate detection and identification of A. mali can be achieved. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an A. mali SS-COI PCR detection primer and a detection method.
