Abstract
The polymerase chain reaction and other molecular biological methods have vastly improved the speed and sensitivity of diagnostic assays relevant to plant protection. In this paper the general principles of some molecular based diagnoses are outlined and briefly illustrated with examples. These examples cover a range of situations where molecular diagnostics can be of value and include: detection of quarantinable pathogens; discrimination of strains within species for epidemiological or resistance studies; and tracing the spread of pests pathogens or biocontrol agents. Organisms covered include viruses bacteria fungi insects and mites.
