Abstract
Little leaf and yellowing symptoms associated with phytoplasma disease were observed in Pyracantha angustifolia in Turkey. Amplification (through nested PCR) and virtual restriction fragment length polymorphism (V-RFLP) confirmed the presence of phytoplasma in the symptomatic plants the phylogeny based on the R16F2n/R2 sequences of the P. angustifolia phytoplasma was established and the sequence analysis showed that the isolate had 98.7% similarity to ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma australasia’, a member of the 16SrII-D subgroup. This is the first world report of a phytoplasma in P. angustifolia and its first identification in the Republic of Türkiye.
期刊介绍:
Australasian Plant Disease Notes is an international journal for publication of short reports from all countries which describe original research that transcends national boundaries. All aspects of plant pathology are covered including new geographical records of diseases or pathogens, new pathogens or pathogen strains, taxonomic papers, quarantine notes, disease management and diagnostic methods. Australasian Plant Disease Notes is a publication of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society.
