Detection of cranberry fruit rot fungi using DNA array hybridization.

The article presents a study on the detection of cranberry fruit rot (CFR) fungi through deoxyribonucleic (DNA) array hybridization. DNA macroarray hybridization technique based on polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) was developed for CFR fungal pathogens and CFR detection capability was compared with that of the plating method for CFR isolation from samples. Results showed that DNA array hybridization for CFR fungi identification was a rapid and sensitive technique for CFR research.
