The RalSol qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Ralstonia solanacearum detection by using qPCR. Ralstonia solanacearum is a rod-shaped, aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Burkholderiaceae family. It is a major phytopathogen that causes bacterial wilt disease in a wide range of host plants, including economically important crops such as tomato, potato, aubergine and banana. Infected plants typically exhibit wilting, yellowing of leaves, vascular browning, stunted growth, and eventual plant death due to systemic colonization of the xylem vessels. The bacterium is primarily transmitted through contaminated soil, irrigation water, infected plant material, and agricultural tools. The pathogen is distributed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, where it causes significant agricultural losses. The assay can also recognise other members of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex, including Ralstonia nicotianae, Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum, and Ralstonia syzygii.
