I think Poysa, in an earlier article, also describes a seedling assay. We are going to try this next winter on progeny from crosses with Iron Lady. The trick is in culturing the pathogen, the method and stage of innoculation and then providing ideal conditions for disease development - all in the literature and not that complicated. Culturing the pathogen requires sterile technique, but you may be able to use ground up infected tissue. I've successfully used both methods on other crop species.
