Description
Jiwon Kim and four colleagues published a 2024 study on spotting diseases of the orchid Cymbidium kanran. Four fungi cause much of the harm to this orchid. Telling them apart by eye is slow and hard, even for experts, so growers need a fast lab test.
The team built a single test that finds all four fungi at once. They designed four pairs of DNA markers, one per fungus, each giving a band of a distinct size. The test can detect as little as 0.1 units of DNA from each fungus. Trials on sick orchids showed the test works in practice, giving growers a quicker way to name the problem and act.
