Abstract

Five pathogen-host leaf tissue combinations were used to determine whether dried plant disease material gamma (g) irradiated at a level of 25 kGy retains diagnostic value when subjected to selected polymerase chain reactionbased assays. Diagnostic amplification of nucleic acids from all anticipated positive samples was successful following g irradiation. Variability in results is discussed in relation to sample handling.
