- Abstract
The assessment of alien invasive species of Phytophthora genus causing serious tree diseases was carried out in Lithuania. The presence of Phytophthora spp. DNA was recorded for the first time using real-time PCR analysis on 23 DNA samples. The sampling included wood from diseased trees, shrubs, leaves baited in water, and soil samples taken around the diseased plants. Extracted DNA was tested for the presence of Phytophthora. All analysed samples were positively recognized by Phytophthora-specific probe during real-time PCR which proved the presence of pathogens in environmental samples.
