Abstract:
Huanglongbing (HLB) poses a catastrophic threat to the global citrus industry, necessitating early detection of pathogen for disease control and minimize economic losses. Herein, we reported a one-pot electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for integrating rolling circle amplification (RCA)-activated CRISPR/Cas12a dual cleavage activity, and engineered magnetic beads-based quenched ECL emitter. Target-initiated RCA generated amplicons that activated Cas12a, simultaneously leveraging cis-cleavage for template recycling and trans-cleavage to degrade single stranded DNA attached on Ru(bpy)32+-loaded magnetic beads. This dual-amplification strategy restored ECL signals, enabling ultrasensitive detection of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) ribonucleotide-diphosphate reductase subunit beta gene fragments with high specificity. A linear range 10 fM-1 nM with the detection limit of 2 fM was obtained. The integrated platform eliminated multi-step incubations, and exhibited satisfactory performance in citrus leaf samples, offering a powerful tool for HLB diagnostics.
