MUMBAI, India, Oct. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411029084 A) filed by Division Of Plant Pathology Indian Council Of Agriculture Research, New Delhi, on April 10, 2024, for 'rapid nucleic acid extraction from crude samples for the detection of filamentous fungi in rpa assay.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. P Rashanth ST; Dr. Bishnu Maya; Dr. Bikas Mandal; and Dr. Gopala Krishnan S.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 31, under issue no. 44/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure broadly discloses a method of rapid nucleic acid extraction from crude samples for the detection of filamentous fungi in RPA assays. The present invention has an application enabling rapid, on-site detection of fungal pathogens, overcoming challenges associated with direct extraction, especially for filamentous fungi. The invention reduces the overall extraction time for RPA-based diagnostics thereby providing a practical solution for time-sensitive applications. The method is highly sensitive and only less than 25 mg of fungal mycelium is sufficient for the extraction. It can also be used for the species specific identification/race characterization and evaluation of resistance sources and host-pathogen interaction."
