The main aim of this investigation was to develop a SYBRGreen real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for detection and quantification of Verticillium dahliae directly from affected strawberry roots and soils. The proposed assay utilizes a specifically designed primer pair on the basis of an internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence. During 2014–2015, plant and soil samples were randomly collected from different areas including Vasula, Rohu, Unipiha, Utsu and Marjamaa in Estonia and analyzed for V. dahliae. Real-time PCR technique using primers designed to the rDNA ITS1 was highly sensitive and accurate and so allowed reliable quantification of the pathogen DNA at low inoculation in soils (3 × 10-1 pg μl-1) and even in root of symptomless plants (5 × 10-1 pg μl-1). This is the first study of using this technique to quantify the population of V. dahliae in strawberry fields from Estonia.
