'Development of accurate identification tools for plant pathogens and pests is vital to support European Plant Health Policies. For this project Council Directive 2000/29/EC is important, listing some 275 organisms for which protective measures against introduction into and their spread within the Community needs to be taken. Those threats are now greater than ever because of the increases in the volumes, commodity types and origins of trade, the introduction of new crops, the continued expansion of the EU and the impact of climate change. Currently identifying pathogens (in particular new emerging diseases) requires a staff with specialised skills in all disciplines (mycology, bacteriology, etc.); which is only possible within big centralised laboratory facilities. Taxonomy, phytopathology and other fields which are vital for sustaining sound public policy on phytosanitary issues are threatened with extinction. Modern molecular identification/detection techniques may tackle the decline in skills since they often require much less specialist skills to perform, are more amenable for routine purposes and can be used for a whole range of different target organisms. Recently DNA barcoding has arisen as a robust and standardised approach to species identification. QBOL wants now to make DNA barcoding available for plant health diagnostics and to focus on strengthening the link between traditional and molecular taxonomy as a sustainable diagnostic resource. Within QBOL collections harbouring plantpathogenic Q-organisms will be made available. Informative genes from selected species on the EU Directive and EPPO lists will be DNA barcoded from vouchered specimens. The sequences, together with taxonomic features, will be included in a new internet-based database system. A validation procedure on developed protocols and the database will be undertaken across worldwide partners to ensure robustness of procedures for use in a distributed network of laboratories across Europe'
EU researchers have created a DNA barcoding database of plant pathogens that is available to the public. It will help prevent economic losses from plant diseases.
In the EU alone there are nearly 300 quarantine organisms for which protective measures need to be taken. To accurately identify plant pathogens and pests, specialised diagnostic tools are required.
Recently, DNA barcoding has emerged as an efficient way of marking organisms. The method uses a short piece of DNA, specific to a particular species, as a molecular DNA barcode.
The aim of the EU-funded http://www.qbol.org (QBOL) project was to generate such DNA-specific barcodes for quarantine organisms as a means of maintaining plant health. To this end, the consortium obtained gene sequences of species on the lists of the relevant EU directive and the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO).
Researchers created lists of quarantine organisms as well as other species that may pose a future threat to European plants. Based on these lists, they sourced genetic information for relevant fungi, insects, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and phytoplasmas (a type of bacterial parasite).
For each group, QBOL tested several DNA barcoding regions and selected the most reliable. Scientists also tested a number of different methods to extract DNA and chose the best one.
This information, along with the chosen DNA barcodes and supporting taxonomic information, was incorporated into a publically accessible http://www.q-bank.eu (database). Furthermore, diagnostic and bioinformatics tools were developed to enable the correct identification of quarantine organisms based on DNA barcode sequences.
Once established, the database was linked to the most-used online gene database, GenBank, as well as several other online resources. The functioning database was then refined based on general use and user feedback.
