Monilinia
in-person
March 17-18, 2026
The Monilinia Detection Workshop was originally planned for its debut in March of 2020 but was pre-empted by a global pandemic. This 2-day workshop provides an introduction of Monilinia brown rot diseases of stone and pome fruit. There are two Monilinia species established in the US, and two exotic species in parts of Asia and Europe that are of regulatory concern. This workshop will review the similarities and differences among these species, demonstrate hands-on DNA isolation protocols and a conventional PCR assay that can be used to differentiate among those species.
