Molecular Tools in the Diagnosis of Plant Disease in Sarawak.

Abstract:
Plants, like human beings, do get ‘sick’ or develop a disease. Before they can be cured, there is a need to diagnose the disease correctly. In Sarawak, plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi, bacteria, nematodes (helminths) or viruses are diagnosed with conventional laboratory methods. However, there are some diseases which cannot be easily identified with these methods. The Research Centre of the Sarawak Department of Agriculture has embarked into the new biotechnology era by adapting molecular tools to tackle these diseases. These techniques are briefly discussed in this article.
