Abstract

Anticipating the huge potential of ONT long read sequencing in plant health diagnostics, the METAMINSURV project will evaluate the feasibility to use MinION metabarcoding as a fast and accurate diagnostic tool for detection and identification of the phloem bacteria ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ and ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’.
