Diseased sugarcane in Sri Lanka is infected with sugarcane grassy shoot and/or Sugarcane white leaf phytoplasma
Australasian Plant Disease Notes 2 (1), 123-125
Abstract: Polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequence analysis confirmed the association of at least one phytoplasma with widespread yellowing and tillering disease in sugarcane in Sri Lanka. The associated phytoplasma is 98% identical to both sugarcane white leaf phytoplasma and sugarcane grassy shoot phytoplasma.
