A Primed Nano biosensor for Plant Pathogens Detection

Abstract

Plant Pathogens are the significant impact in terms of quantity, quality of food and food born infections such as Escherichia coli, Norovirus, the Hepatitis A virus, Salmonella Typhi etc. To prevent food born infections, an early bacterial or viral detection and elimination is substantial. The current techniques which can diagnose plant pathogens are polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and several types of Nucleic acid-based technologies have been developed which takes around 1 to 3 hours to complete the test with limits to use as cost effective, slow process, low sensitivity, and selectivity diagnostic method. This proposal reiterates an optimal high throughput molecular diagnostic technology using Patent approved Nano biosensor based on highly selective DNA/RNA for the early identification of viral plant-pathogen in minimal processing time of 15 minutes and are more accurate in identifying pathogens with high sensitivity and selectivity.
