Abstract
A method for predicting a likelihood of infection in a set of similarly sourced plant products is disclosed. A subset of plant products is selected from the set of plant products. For each plant product in the subset, a level of expression of one or more infection biomarkers, and optionally a level of expression of one more housekeeping biomarkers, are determined. A set of biomarker expression statistics for the subset of plant products is determined based on the determined levels of expression of the one or more infection biomarkers and optionally the levels of expression of the one or more housekeeping biomarkers for each plant product in the subset. A likelihood of infection in the set of plant products is then predicted based at least in part on the determined set of biomarker expression statistics for the subset of plant products.
