Optimization and validation of LAMP assay. Yellow colour indicated a positive reaction while red/pink colour indicated no reaction. (A) LAMP assay optimized with pure fungal isolates with no template control. M: 100 bp (Promega); 1: R. solani AG-1 IA isolate PURS1; 2: R. solani AG-1 IA isolate PURS2 3: R. solani AG-1 IA isolate PURS3; 4: No Template control; L: 1 kb (Generuler).
