Abstract
An index procedure for avocado sunblotch disease was developed with RNA polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gel index was 96% accurate in tests with known healthy and sunblotch-diseased trees (standard biological index). The assay takes 2 days to perform, compared with 3-24 mo. for the standard biological index, and uses only 100-200 mg of host tissue.
