Abstract
One hundred and seventy-four symptomatic sugarcane samples infected with sugarcane white leaf (SCWL) phytoplasma were collected from sugarcane growing areas in ten provinces across the North, Northeastern and Central plain of Thailand. Genotyping was performed using 16S rRNA and ITS sequence and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) based on six genes including tuf, secY, leuS, secA, AAA1 and groES. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis indicated that the SCWL phytoplasma population showed nucleotide sequence identity of 99.74% to 99.80% to ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma sacchari’. In silico RFLP analysis clustered the strains into 16SrXI-B and 16SrXI-D subgroups. Most strains (77%) were in the 16SrXI-D group, while 16SrXI-B strains were only found in the Northeastern regions. The 16SrXI-D group coexisted with the 16SrXI-B group in Roi Et, Kalasin, and Mookdahan provinces, but it was found alone in Surin province. Multilocal sequence typing showed genetic variations in six genes including tuf, secY, leuS, secA, AAA1, and groES. These variations resulted in the SCWL population being divided into two distinct groups, that are consistent with the 16SrXI subgroups. Additionally, five strains in this population exhibited recombinant DNA in the tuf, secA, leuS, AAA1 and groES genes. This information about the genetic variability of SCWL phytoplasma in Thailand could be used to develop detection methods and monitoring strategies for the disease management.
期刊介绍:
Tropical Plant Pathology is an international journal devoted to publishing a wide range of research on fundamental and applied aspects of plant diseases of concern to agricultural, forest and ornamental crops from tropical and subtropical environments.
Submissions must report original research that provides new insights into the etiology and epidemiology of plant disease as well as population biology of plant pathogens, host-pathogen interactions, physiological and molecular plant pathology, and strategies to promote crop protection.
The journal considers for publication: original articles, short communications, reviews and letters to the editor. For more details please check the submission guidelines.
Founded in 1976, the journal is the official publication of the Brazilian Phytopathology Society.
