2. LAMP-based detection of plant pests and pathogens: partner 1 Universal-LAMP for multiplex detection LAMP assays for individual targets (viruses, fungi, insects)

3. Universal LAMP: arrays Biotin-dUTP in LAMP (ISO mastermix – incorporation of dUTP...) Higher concentration – better signals on array Ligation probe containing ZIP code sequence; 0.125U Pfu; UNI LAMP, 140 µM biotin dUTP, F-stem rev only; hybridisation to ZIP code array

4. Universal LAMP: arrays Ligation – LAMP with biotin dCTP – hybridisation - detection

5. LAMP for potato yellow vein virus PYVV assayplant assay Sensitivity was improved (10-fold) by use of a 2- temperature protocol (initial step 10 minutes at 50°C) before incubation at 65°C

6. LAMP for quarantine Liriomyza L. huidobrensis, L. trifolii, L. sativae; Liriomyza spp. control Different life stages tested (pupae, empty pupal cases, eggs, leaf mines) 1/100 dilution 1/10 dilution

7. LAMP for quarantine Liriomyza Stem primers (Gandelman et al 2011) To replace loop primers – see work with NIB on Uni LAMP To use with loop primers to increase speed of reaction... F3c F2c B2c B3cF3 F2 B2 B3 3’ 5’ 3’ F1c F2 B2 B1c F1c F1 B1 B1c FL FLc BLc BL stem primers: can be in either orientation

8. LAMP for quarantine Liriomyza - loop - stem - loop + stem + loop - stem + loop + stem 23-24 min 12-13 min 17-18 min stem primers can increase the speed of amplification
