摘要

Bioassays, like local lesion assays, are a reliable method for determining the concentration of infectious plant viruses. This protocol outlines the steps involved, including sample preparation, inoculation of plant leaves, and counting the resulting lesions. The number of lesions is directly correlated with the virus concentration in the inoculum. By carefully following these procedures and applying statistical analysis, researchers can accurately quantify viral titers and compare the infectivity of different virus samples.
