First report on detection of `Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia' (group 16SrII) affecting sapodilla in eastern Cuba
Plant Pathology 58 (2), 391-391
Abstract: Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota) trees grown in Cuba were observed with symptoms of leaf yellowing and witches' broom. DNA was extracted from symptomatic plants and analyzed by PCR using phytoplasma specific primers. Subsequent 16S rDNA examination showed the presence in the plants of a phytoplasma belonging to `Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia' (group 16SrII).
