Abstract

The increased risk of outbreaks of plant pests due to globalization and climate change requires up-to-date knowledge and quick and validated detection and identification methods. DNA barcoding and sequence analysis are increasingly used for diagnostics in phytosanitary laboratories. These methods use (short) genomic sequences specific to a well-defined taxon for species identification. The EPPO-Q-bank database (https://qbank.eppo.int/) supports plant pest diagnostics focusing on pests recommended for regulation in the EPPO region and their look-alikes. It provides a wide range of information on specimens, isolates, strains or populations available in collections, including curated DNA barcodes/sequence data. The cornerstone of this database is its curation by a team of scientists with taxonomic, phytosanitary and diagnostic expertise from National Plant Protection Organizations and institutes with connections to relevant phytosanitary collections.

EPPO-Q-bank：支持植物病虫害诊断活动的策划数据库

由于全球化和气候变化，植物病虫害爆发的风险增加，因此需要最新的知识以及快速和有效的检测和识别方法。DNA条形码和序列分析越来越多地用于植物检疫实验室的诊断。这些方法使用特定于定义明确的分类单元的（短）基因组序列进行物种鉴定。EPPO- q -bank数据库（https://qbank.eppo.int/）支持植物病虫害诊断，重点关注epo地区推荐监管的病虫害及其相似病虫害。它提供了关于标本、分离物、菌株或种群的广泛信息，包括整理的DNA条形码/序列数据。该数据库的基础是由一组具有分类学、植物检疫和诊断专业知识的科学家管理，这些科学家来自国家植物保护组织和与相关植物检疫收集有联系的研究所。
