This Standard describes a diagnostic protocol for the generic detection of phytoplasmas.

This standard describes how to perform an ELISA test for detection and ⁄ or identification in bacterial diagnostics using: (i) Indirect; (ii) Double antibody sandwich-DAS; (iii) Double antibody sandwich indirect-DASI also named triple antibody sandwich-TAS; and (iv) Direct tissue-print, squash or colony-dot.

This Standard describes the use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for the detection of virus particles in plant sap.

This Standard describes the use of DNA barcoding protocols in support of identification of a number of regulated pests and invasive plant species comparing DNA barcode regions with those deposited in publicly available sequence databases.

This European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation (EPPO) standard specifies the general quality management requirements needed to perform diagnostic tests for plant pests in a laboratory.

The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants is the set of rules and recommendations that govern the scientific naming of all organisms traditionally treated as algae, fungi, or plants, whether fossil or non-fossil, including blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria), chytrids, oomycetes, slime moulds, and photosynthetic protists with their taxonomically related non-photosynthetic groups (but excluding Microsporidia).

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) naming convention.

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) authorises and organises virus taxonomic classification and nomenclatures. The ICTV has developed a universal taxonomic scheme for viruses.
